Overview

See Washington DC's historical monuments and memorials up close and personal on a 3-hour bike tour with an informative guide. Cruise around the National Mall and the Tidal Basin to see some of the most famous sights, and take breaks to walk around and explore attractions like the Lincoln Memorial.

Our Monuments tour does cross streets but there is no street riding making it the perfect option for families and those who may not have ridden a bike in an urban environment.

On a bike, you're able to see so much more than on foot or on a bus! If you've never taken a city city tour before, DC is a perfect city to give it a try. We know that once you've toured by bike, it will be the first thing you look for on your next trip to another city!

Please note that the "what to expect section" provides a sample itinerary and you may tour in a slightly different order based on what may be going on in this busy city on the day of your tour.

I highly recommend this tour of the monuments. Joe Brady, our tour guy was outstanding. He’s very knowledgeable of the District of Columbia, and does it with great passion. Thanks!

Good experience in DC

Lawrence_L, 24-11-2022

Tour with the group and learned a lot of historic stories. Also a lot of interesting spots. Both riding and sightseeing are excellent

Great but wear warm gear in winter.

Ross_T, 21-11-2022

A great way to see most of the memorials. Wow but it was cold with a fresh northerly making it fresh experience.

Good tour

Suzanne_S, 26-11-2022

Very good tour. Nice selection of sites. Can’t imagine doing it during peak time. We were there during shoulder season and we were dodging pedestrians left and right. My only complaint- a huge one that brought a four star review to three- is that they have no restroom for customers. I just handed you $250 and you’re gonna call me “the public” and say no restrooms!? After a three hour tour too?Ridiculous.
