An experience beyond our expectations - It is hard to come up with a new or different way to describe what an amazing Tour we had with Jeff. All the reviews are accurate but they can never describe just how great the experience is. We have done a number of bike tours in cities when we travel but nothing has come close to our Tour of Washington with Jeff. It wasn't just his in depth knowledge of Washington and safe cycling practices, but the fact that Jeff has biked around the world made for such fascinating conversation. He was fun and interesting. We never felt hurried and were amazed by the generosity of his time.

So good, we ended up extending our tour to experience more of DC on bike - This is the tour you want if you are visiting DC! Jeff and DC Cycling Concierge completely customized our ride and gave my husband and I everything we could have imagined for the experience.
We really wanted to explore DC and get the layout of the city so we could learn about cool areas and hear interesting facts about the town's development and secret spots. Jeff met us at our hotel with bikes, we rode to Georgetown, saw the University, past really cute neighborhoods, stopped by Julia Child's and Jackie Kennedy's former house, and took a little break at a cute coffee shop. We went along the water front of the Potomac River, to the Wharf, past the Nationals stadium, and to Navy Yard. Plus stops at the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, WWII Memorial, Washington Monument, and the Capital.
We had originally booked a 3 hr tour but were having such a good time we ended up extending our tour so we could see more and experience the monuments at night, they truly are so beautiful all lit up! Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, full of interesting, fun, and cool facts. I couldn't imagine seeing the city via any other method, than by bike.
Jeff prioritizes safety and ensures you are comfortable and confident during the ride. He knows all the protected bike routes and lanes, so we could breeze past traffic and get up close to the best sites. He guided us so well, we felt confident renting bikes the next couple of days to revisit some of the sites he has shown us during the tour. (Highly recommend trying to catch the sunset from the rooftop bar at the Pendry on the wharf!)
Thanks, Jeff and DC Cycling Concierge. You gave us an experience to remember and I shall continue to recommend your tours to everyone visiting DC.

Great tour of DC sites - Jeff was amazing. He took our family of 9 on DC biking tour of the mall. He is extremely knowledgable, super interesting and tells funny stories. He did an amazing job of keeping our children engaged. This was a great way to see all the sites and be moving at the same time. We highly recommend booking!

Our best outing over 4 days. - Outstanding tour. Jeff is a very knowledgeable and thoughful guide to take you around Washington DC and it many monuments and museums. Lots of off the grid knowledge about any of your interests or needs. On time, polite and very safety conscious. A real pro. Highly recommended.

Best way to see DC - We were in town for business and wanted to end the week with a fun activity. Jeff came highly recommended. I’ve visited the DC sites before, but never with a tour guide. Jeff absolutely crushed it. He took 7 of us on a bike tour which is the best way to see the city. He’s an amazing storyteller and historian. He’s animated and engaging. I can’t recommend this experience enough. If you are coming to DC, book this tour!

Best way to see DC - Jeff was recommended to us from family friends who had taken his tour. Our family of 4 (me, hubby, two "kids" ages 18 and 20) had the most amazing ride. I am not great on a bike and let Jeff know prior to our visit. Jeff setup my bike the way I wanted, kept an eye on me during our ride and customized our ride to limit riding in traffic as much as possible. We had no idea how bike friendly DC is, partly due to Jeff's previous advocacy work. I was much more at ease seeing the barriers and bright/wide bike lanes throughout the city. We could not believe how many monuments/sights Jeff showed us during our ride, and he kept us totally engaged with historical facts (both textbook and anecdotal) peppered with lots of dad jokes! We would highly recommend this to get a great overview of DC because it would have been exhausting by foot yet much more personal than a bus tour. Jeff was prompt at our hotel with everything we needed, including water bottles which we got to keep and snacks to fuel our ride. He took multiple family photos for us during the ride which he airdropped when we were done. We would totally do this again on a future visit!

Best custom tour of DC for cyclists - What an awesome experience with Charlie. We took a 50km loop around DC from our hotel. The parks, cycling infrastructure and sights were amazing.
Arrangements prior to the tour was simple, fast, efficient and most of all, customizable!
My wife is pretty new to cycling and she did the distance in good time and enjoyed in thoroughly!
I had a gravel and wifey had a hybrid. Bikes were well maintained and we even got free bottles too!

Memorable experience! Highly recommend! - Jeff worked with me to customize our surprise anniversary day ride. We had seen some of the key sights but not all before the ride. If we were near a “must see,” Jeff was happy to lead us right to the front! He took photos along the way so we didn’t have to worry about that. We rode about 20 miles and had plenty of water and snacks available. Very knowledgeable about the District and what a fun ride!! Highly recommended experience!

Must Do: Amazing DC Tour; Fantastic Guide - The best way to really see and get to know Washington DC, hear great, engaging stories, and learn the history of the city and the country. Great equipment, wonderful guide, perfect pace; couldn't give Jeff and his company a higher recommendation.

Highlight of our trip to DC!!! - Jeff is the real deal. From the moment we met, I could feel his passion for what he does. I chose Jeff based on his incredible reviews and I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. Our daughter has special needs and can't ride a bike independently. Jeff offered us a tandem and was so engaging. He really goes above and beyond. We could have never visited this many historical monuments and landmarks on foot. We had booked a 3 hour ride, but we extended it because we were having so much fun. If we didn't have a plane to catch, we would have stayed even longer. He always had a fun story and great suggestions for photo ops. Jeff, we can't thank you enough for a fantastic ride and a perfect ending to our trip. It's so apparent you live life to the fullest and do what you love. Thankful our paths crossed. Hope to ride again with you in the future!
