This was a wonderful experience and our guide was excellent. The only criticism is that there was no departure time on the download and we guessed a slightly later start time.

The tour was definitely good - the major problem was the weather. Biking in a 90-degree heat wave is not for faint-hearted. On the plus side the guide was very good, and Rolling Thunder parade was on this weekend, so that was a nice and unexpected bonus. When you go make sure you are at the side of the old post office by 945 am - we were there at 845 and had to wait for an hour. My precious half almost killed me.

It started on time. The bike rode great. We had strong headwinds and the shift was therefore very important and went well. The guide has chosen the paths very well. Told competently with photos. The group consisted of 6 adults and three children, which was a nice small number. If we didn’t understand everything it was due to our English and the strong wind. Although we have done many tours in English and understood more there. Unfortunately, the Lincoln memorial is not part of the two-hour tour. We visited this on foot afterwards. The only thing that was irritating was that we had to pay $1 before we started and didn't know what for. We would recommend the tour to anyone, maybe an e-bike in strong winds. The distances between the sights are simply too long.
