I took the Night Tour of Washington DC and overall I walked away feeling very disappointed. First, the positives; the bikes are easy to ride and in good condition, our guide, Felipe, was friendly and pleasant and some parts of the tour were interesting, particularly the final stops near the White House. So why the 2-star review? My main gripe... More

Fabulous tour and was able to see the monuments without pounding the pavement. Patrick was excellent and knowledgable. He kept our 11 year old very engaged. Great tour!!!!!

We took the evening night tour with a Potomac river cruise included. The river cruise was a fun addition to the tour but the monuments are not really visible from the river. The bike tour was a fun way to get around and see the monuments close up. We liked the evening since the crowds seemed to be a little... More

Cap City Bike Tours is run by an energetic and friendly group of 20-something guys. Office is near the George Washington University Campus. The 3 hour 9:30 am bike tour ($35 April 2013) is an excellent overview of the highlights of the mall. It's amazing to ride down the bike lane in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue from the White...

Our first day in D.C. was a great start with Capital City Bike tours. The staff was very friendly and the store was easy to find. Justin was our tour guide and my 10 year old had no problem with the bike and pace of the tour. 3 hours was just right and we got a great overview of the... More

Biking fun and good way to cover the distances between monuments. Very good guide. Interesting patter and gave good suggestions of other things to do in Washington. He also fixed... More

The staff is nice and very knowledgeable about DC. Even as cold as it was I still enjoyed my tip and for someone that leads a healthy lifestyle, it kept me active. Justin was my tour leader and he was very nice, energetic and accommodating to the group's needs. I would use this company again and recommend this to anyone.

We had an excellent tour guide, Brian, a Sr. History major attending GW right down the street. My wife and two kids, 19 and 14 we're somewhat suspect about this plan of mine but once into the three hour tour they were "into the tour". It was us and another couple with their grandparents. Great pace, comfortable bikes and the... More

Visited on a Saturday and really enjoyed a fantastic ride around the major monuments. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Our guide was knowledgeable and cheerful. We were glad to be on bikes as we passed many people who were exhausted from all the walking required to get to see everything. Make sure you leave any bulky bags in... More
