Highly recommended by both parents and kids - Parent and kid recommended. 2 kids 12 & 10, great to see so much and still have energy in the afternoon for a Smithsonian. As a parent Greg S did a wonderful job interacting with the kids and answering questions.

Fun on bikes in DC! Great for young teens and their parents. Probably great for anyone, as they had trailers, too. - Kirby was great. Pace was good, lots of information about the monuments and enough time to explore and get photos. What he didn’t know, he figured out while we were exploring.

Definitely take this tour - The bike tour with Joe was truly magnificent. My family and I bicycle in Florida and are used to risking our lives in crazy traffic next to distracted drivers, without protected bike lanes. The tour in DC was a breeze without any murderous moments. I wanted to move there about an hour into the tour. If you are used to cycling, this tour won't be exercise, but it will be fun. The bicycle allows for efficient sightseeing. I don't think you could see that many monuments from a bus or walking in the same period of time. I regret not having a set a timer on my phone for the pauses when the guide allowed us to experience on our own one monument and another. My older kid and I had some out-of-time relaxation and did not do a good job watching the clock. Pro tip: use an alarm. We packed a helmet for our toddler out of fear that the tour company wasn't really going to be prepared for someone so young, but we probably didn't need to bother. The company has a range of equipment, including Burley trailers. The tour guide seemed to be impressed with our seven-year-old's skill on a bike, so perhaps some families do not bike much before this tour. I think you will be fine without much experience, because most of it is flat or downhill. I never switched gears. I would bring water, if you can remember. (We forgot.) The sun was really strong on our tour, and I have to wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to start it about two hours earlier. Obviously, none of DC is set up for the way actual children function, so this musing is kind of gratuitous. The museums and tours all seem to start at 10 am, which is about one hour before naptime for some of the customers, but your child will enjoy sleeping in the trailer as much as mine did: short nap, owing to the zonked head bobbing, but a nap nonetheless. Joe recommended Potbelly's for lunch. I was doubtful that a chain was a great idea, but he was right. We ended up eating at a Potbelly's twice in DC, and it turns out that not all have the great kid's menu like the location near the bike tour, just FYI. Joe is right about the kid's shake. Ours loved it.

Fantastic Spring Break monument bike tour. - My family thoroughly enjoyed our monument bike tour. Perfect way to see the sights and learn a little extra history. Jose was our tour guide and even though we had a large group, he was patient and did an excellent job keeping us together. Highly recommend!

Dc bikers - Great way to see the monuments and learn about the history of the city! This tour was totally worth it! Playing follow the leader on the bikes was a safe and stress free way to show the family DC without worrying about navigating the traffic on our own! Our guide was knowledgeable! I would recommend the tour! The bike ride was not rigorous. It was a chilly and gloomy day but the ride was enjoyable!

Scenic bike tour of DC was a great way to capture on the monuments within a few hours. - The route of the bike tour and our tour guide (Kirby) were great! There was ample time to walk around for pictures and Kirby was very knowledgeable about each of the monuments we stopped at. Riding down Pennsylvania Avenue at the end of the tour was a very neat experience. The individuals working at the bike shop where you meet up were very rude and disorganized. The girl who checked us in had a poor attitude and a hateful tone of voice. That was very off-putting and made me want to cancel the entire booking. Fortunately, we continued on and Kirby made our time and money worth it.

Use Capital Bikes Day Pass - Use the capital bikes app and go yourself. Lots more time at each of the sites to fully enjoy at a fraction of the price! $8 for a day pass versus $65+ $1 (as I went through a “third party”!) for 3hrs.
