Excellent tour and even better guide - Jeff is a rare combination of incredibly knowledgeable and fun. All four of us - veterans of many tours, Viator and otherwise - thought he is one of the best guides we’ve ever had, regardless of type of tour. He was a careful leader (important when biking around DC), and while he kept us on schedule, he adjusted the schedule to accommodate our interests. And he truly knows so much about American history and the monuments themselves that our three hours flew by. Book with him!

Best bike tour of DC! - Hands down the best city bike tour I've been on. Jeff is a fountain of wonderful stories and really made the city come alive. Too many city bike tour leaders just offer the standard history - Jeff took a deep dive, and dove even further when we wanted more. I booked the tour for myself and 3 of my children - ages 9, 13 and 18. He handled this age range with aplomb and kept the tour engaging for all - over 4 hours. No small feat! The tour is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Could not recommend more enthusiastically.

The perfect family DC adventure! - Wow wow wow! Our night monument tour was the absolute highlight of our trip! Having not been to DC to explore as a tourist for years and having the opportunity to bring our kids was already special, but touring at night with Jeff was the cherry on the top. Seeing DC by bike at night is magical and Jeff is a wealth of behind the scenes knowledge you would never get from a typical “guide book.” We’ll be recommending to all our friends and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

Great Family Activity! - My family and I had a fantastic time! Jeff was such a great guide and knew so much about the whole city. He has vast amounts of knowledge on any part of DC history that you are curious about. I also felt very safe on the route he took us on. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to explore and learn more about DC!

Excellent family bike tour - Jeff gave us a fabulous tour of all of the monuments in DC on a night tour. I wanted to find a bike tour that was appropriate and safe for kids and I definitely found the best one! We were able to see so much in the few hours and Jeff gave us so much information. Also the bikes were high quality. I would definitely recommend this tour!

An EXTRAORDINARY experience for families looking to combine education, fitness and fun. Simply the best! - Last night, Jeff hosted us on an UNFORGETTABLE night tour in DC. I was initially nervous as the mom of two children, but the trip was 100% safe. To my surprise, the biking was the least memorable part of the trip. Jeff was an impressive and articulate historian, an engaging storyteller and an intuitive host who kept both my children, my husband and I totally engaged. The sites were amazing - from the Capital to the Lincoln Memorial and beyond. We would have never learned so much about the architecture and the back stories behind the various museums on the mall or the war memorials. This trip is PERFECT for any family looking to combine education, fitness and fun. Jeff is extraordinary. Thank you!

Our tour exceed our expectations! - Turns out cherry blossoms, light rain, and riding at night make a lovely combination for a bicycle tour of the DC Monuments.
Jeff was flexible, easy going, fun, extremely knowledgeable (history & local information), and provided us with great bicycles (with fenders!), helmets, waterproof gloves, bicycle lights and water bottles.
Riding at night in a little rain meant we saw few other tourists which is saying something for cherry blossom season. We felt safe and well cared for.
My biggest disappointment was not getting to do another bicycle tour with Jeff during the day due to heavy rain.
