Great fun! We were very lucky with the weather the sunset ride was beautiful and then finished spectacularly with the city lights

A great way to see the memorials at night. The tour guide was great. We had 7-10 minutes at each memorial to explore. My 12 year old did fine on the bike. I used a tandem bike for my 8 year old, which was new to me and manuevering on crowded sidewalks was a bit of an adventure. We stopped in front of the White House just in time to watch the 3 helicopters carrying the President back home!

The tour was good way to see all the monuments in the DC area. We enjoyed seeing them all lit up at night. It was also less crowded on the path at night so an easier ride. However I was very disappointed in the fact that they put very young children on bikes that were too big for them who did not have the cycling skills to participate in this type of tour especially at night. It slowed us down and guide was more worried about them than giving us a good tour even threatening to cut the tour short since we were always behind schedule. Unless you are a family with young children, I wouldn't suggest using this particular service.
