Bad bike.

Ned_H, Apr 2024

David was a great guide. My bike kept changing to a lower gear. Then the chain came off. When I returned bike there appeared to be no attempt to fix the problem. Won’t be doing this again.

Tour guide was not...

Azarakhsh_B, Apr 2024

Tour guide was not feeling well. We bare could hear him talking. I recommend a microphone for the guide to communicate with the group.

Exactly what we wanted

Stein_T, Mar 2024

Great bike tour in blooming Washingon. The guide took us safely through town and its landmarks. His knowledge was impressive and we also got time to explore on our own.

The highlight of our trip, great way to see the sights!

Amanda_G, Mar 2024

Our tour guide Greg H was phenomenal and knowledgeable! I was with my son who had just turned 10, Greg was welcoming and patient and didn’t mind being a human google for 2 hours. He had my son engaged and interested. This was the highlight of our trip to DC, we had a blast! I would definitely do this again, next time I will book further in advance to see all the monuments that this tour missed.

Jake_B, Aug 2023

Was looking for something fun to do on a weekday and came across this bike tour. A fun activity to do if you want to learn interesting facts about DC and get some exercise in.

Engaging educating and fun!

Ciara_K, Jul 2023

I had James as my tour guide and he was really enthusiastic and engaging. Perfect amount of history was delivered and this tour was value for money. My favorite part was definitely capital hill, especially biking down it afterwards! Overall it was a really fun experience.

Awesome and fun

vee_n, Jul 2023

Our host was Greg. The tour was fun and we felt very looked after. Greg has amazing knowledge on all landmarks and DC alone.He was very helpful and accommodating. The bikes were easy to ride, well maintained. Thank you very much.

Avoid Viator for bookings - Very RUDE

Marianne_H, Jun 2023

I want to make this perfectly clear. Arranging the bike tour through viator was a nightmare. Their site for Unlimited Biking was deceiving. When I called to change the date to one day later because of an unknown conflict the would do nothing but state over and over what I already new that there were no refund for any cancellations or changes. The person I spoke with on the phone was extremely rude. I then went directly to the Unlimited Biking site and had a WONDERFUL experience. They had an excellent cancellation policy and were exceptionally kind and gracious. We took the bike tour and had a FANTASTIC time. I will never book anything through Viator ever again - BUT if you are going to Washington DC - take the bike tour with Unlimited Biking - I HIGHLY recommend it. This is from a 70 year old grandmother and her 12 year old grandson.

Great tour

Sonia_P, May 2023

Paul our guide was great, very informative and knowledgable. Best tour I’ve done in Washington DC, very enjoyable

Just do it!

Marie_M, Apr 2023

The most memorable thing we did in DC. Definitely worth the time and $$ to see the sites this way. Perfect way for our 7, 10, and 14 year old to learn a little about several sites without overwhelming or boring them and while keeping us all active. I’m sure it also helped that we had an amazing guide and amazing weather for it too.

Fun, memorable experience

Brendan_K, Apr 2023

This was such a unique experience! Our guide Greg was very informative and fun! Great way to see and learn about DC 😊

Great family ride.

Beth_S, Dec 2022

We had a great ride with Joe. Our ride ended up being just our family of four. Since it was quite chilly, Joe modified our tour to keep our kids most engaged.

Best ever and Joe and David are outstanding and have a superb tour.

Kurt_A, Dec 2022

I proposed to my future wife on this tour and Joe Brady and David did an absolute great Job. They are such great tour guides.

Great tour to experience D.C. with kids!

Sarah_J, Oct 2022

There were many bike options that were suitable for my kids. We opted for one riding solo and one on a tandem bike with me which was fantastic! Biking D.C. is the way to go! Greg - the tour guide - was so knowledgeable and shared so many insights and experiences from his life in D.C. He brought us to sites on the tour that I hadn't heard of yet! We saw so many things! Every question my son has about statues all over town he was happy to answer. We loved the tour so much and would highly recommend! Thank you!

Wonderful experience for family of 5!

Melissa_F, Oct 2022

This bike tour was an awesome experience! Greg our guide was kind, knowledgeable and careful. The tour was a great way to see some of the sights and learn some history. This was a tour that worked for both my husband I as well as our 3 kids age 10-12. I would highly recommend this trip to others. The only disappointment was that we didn’t do the 3 hour trip.
