We enjoyed this trip from start to end ... and even today. The cycling was relaxed. The explanations provided by our guide were excellent and encouraged us to book a similar tour in NYC. Thank you very much for the recommendation.

Our tour guide, Carrie, was amazing, very knowledgeable and very approachable. She was willing to take our picture and gave us ample time to see the monuments and memorials. The staff was nice and accommodating. They handed out water, fans, and snacks. The tour group was small enough to keep up with (8 people total). The trail was easy to ride, especially for someone like me, who hasn't ridden a bike in over a year! Overall we were very pleased with the experience and will be considered a highlight in our vacation.
