A pretty seamless trip! We had a mix of ages and kids along our bike tour, with the lovely Cate as our guide. She gave us just enough history peppered with fun facts to keep us engaged. A really fun way to cover major memorials, which would otherwise be a reasonable walk apart! The terrain is pretty flat for the most part so it’s not a difficult cycle. Would highly recommend, particularly for those who are short on time and want to see some key historical memorials!

Great guide who knew the history of the monuments and of DC - very engaging. The ride was easy and we got to spend a good amount of time at each monument. This was a good overview of the monuments so that we could decide what we wanted to go back and spend more time visiting.

The Monuments Bike Tour was an efficient and enjoyable way to get a narrated tour of multiple monuments and memorials at the National Mall. The bikes were comfortable and our guide Joe was quite knowledgeable. I highly recommend it.

The agenda was good for the 3 hour time alotted, and the time for stops was about right. I wish that there had been a bit more commentary at the stops. Also, I think that the tour would have been better if the participants had been given ear pods, or "whispers," as so many tour guides now use, so that the leader could have given commentary along the way, while we were cycling and passing places of interest.

I loved this bike tour. It was a great way to see the sights. I only scored 4 starts as we got back 15minutes early and one of the monuments listed (FDR) we did not stop at we cycled past it on the other side of the road. So was disappointed.
