She answered all questions and had very positive attitude at all time. I recommend this Tour and would take it again!
I haven't been on a bike in years and was a little worried, but riding around the monuments was a blast, even for the 70 year old! I highly recommend this tour.
We had a group of 6 and everyone loved this tour. All of us have had tours before so this was a great way to see the sites again. Is was just the right amount of time - it was causal and relaxing. Our guide Brian was friendly and provided interesting information on the monuments/memorials. I would recommend this tour.
The Bike Tour was Awesome. Our guide, Joe, gave us interesting information at every stop. I had my grandson and his buddy 13 yrs. and they loved the tour. Due to traffic, we were late but the company called us and re-scheduled our tour for the next one in 30 minutes. I highly recommend the tour and company.
It was a great bike tour. Kudos to Cameron Cam, he was a wonderful tour guide full of enthusiasm and shared lots of knowledge at all monuments.
Loved this tour! It was a hot day in July and with two teens it was great not to have to walk all the memorials. The cool breeze while on the bike was refreshing!
Had a blast!! Will definitely do it again!
Amanda was an awesome guide. Our children say the bike tour was the best part of our trip! If you have children, this is the BEST way to see the monuments. However, when if you don't it's still a lot of fun! Highly recommend this tour!
