Washington DC Monuments Bike Tour in Washington DC booking from $65.00

Washington DC Monuments Bike Tour

Overview

See Washington DC's historical monuments and memorials up close and personal on a 3-hour bike tour with an informative guide. Cruise around the National Mall and the Tidal Basin to see some of the most famous sights, and take breaks to walk around and explore attractions like the Lincoln Memorial.

Our Monuments tour does cross streets but there is no street riding making it the perfect option for families and those who may not have ridden a bike in an urban environment.

On a bike, you're able to see so much more than on foot or on a bus! If you've never taken a city city tour before, DC is a perfect city to give it a try. We know that once you've toured by bike, it will be the first thing you look for on your next trip to another city!

Please note that the "what to expect section" provides a sample itinerary and you may tour in a slightly different order based on what may be going on in this busy city on the day of your tour.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

As we respect our memorials, we don't ride through the FDR Memorial, so you'll dismount and walk your bike through the impressive four "rooms" that represent the terms FDR served our country as president. There are some unique photo opportunities inside. And make sure that you stop to rub Fala's ears for good luck!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

Again, we don't ride inside the memorials, so you'll stop just outside and hear from your guide before taking a few minutes to walk into the MLK memorial through the "Mountain of Despair" to the Martin Luther King memorialized in the "Stone of Hope".

Korean War Veterans Memorial

Lincoln Memorial

Some people say that a trip to Washington, DC isn't complete unless you see Honest Abe sitting in his place of honor overlooking the National Mall. Are Lincoln's hands are making sign language symbols of his initials "A" and "L"? See for yourself when you climb the steps up to the top after your guide shares some insight into the design of one of our most storied memorials.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

You'll stop just outside the Vietnam Wall to learn about the design and thought behind this impressive tribute to a conflict that holds such a personal connection for so many of our guests. Some of the stories that our guides share will bring a tear to your eye.

I was traveling with my 14 and 11 year old and they were "museumed" out...I thought taking a bike ride would be a different way to see the major sites and much more interesting. The ride is extremely easy, all flat ground and you stop frequently. The tour took 3 hours which goes by fairly fast. Our guide, Andy, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and monuments. My only complaint is we did feel rushed once we had time to actually go up / close to the monuments and take pictures. We were only given 10 minutes at some spots. The operator provides bottle water and a snack but the water is warm from the beginning and the snacks were stale and not a variety. Would I recommend? Yes, all in all the experience is unique and you are able to cover a lot of ground in 3 hours and learn some fun facts along the way. Maybe the operator will read the review and alter the time to provide at least 15 minutes to view the landmarks!

Washington is a bike friendly city.
We rented the bikes for two days the first day we when with a guide and he was very helpful and informative. The second day my husband and I when on our own which was nice because it allowed us to go at our own pace.
