About this tour

See Washington DC’s landmark memorials from the saddle on a guided ride around the National Mall and Tidal Basin. This three-hour Washington DC Monuments and Memorials Bike Tour brings you close to the city’s best-known sights while covering more ground than a walking visit.

Your guide leads the route, sharing context as you explore; the order of stops may vary with activity around the city.

The ride covers approximately 6 to 7 miles and suits casual exercisers. Bike rental, a helmet, an illustrated map, and equipment for children of different sizes and ages are included. Arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and fitting, then set out to experience Washington DC’s monuments at an easy, engaging pace.

  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.

  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
