| Monuments Bike Tour |
|
| Freedom, fun, monuments, and a breeze. This tour covers the monuments and memorials on the National Mall and Potomac Tidal Basin. See the Washington Monument, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, the new Martin Luther King Jr Memorial, and more. This tour also gives you the chance to walk around and explore the memorials in depth. There is a lot to see but we’ll get you there in this leisurely yet efficient tour. |
| “If you're touring DC with kids, this is a GREAT way to introduce them to DC's "Greatest Hits" in 3-4 hours. My kids (ages 10 and 9) managed the bicycles very easily, had a great time, and actually learned something! The ride itself was quite easy and relaxing for all ages.” |

| Capital Sites@Nite Bike Tour |
|
| You'll love the evening version of our Capital Sites tour! The stories are interesting, the illuminated views are fabulous, and you’ll be amazed at how much ground you can cover as evening falls in Washington, DC. You’ll see many of the memorials (Washington, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam Veterans and Lincoln) as well as the White House, the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Institute. Riders are equipped with reflective vests and safety lights. |
| “We went to all of the monuments during the day, but seeing them at night should be a must do item. The routes we went on were very safe and our tour guide was knowledgeable and told us interesting information about each monument. It was one of the highlights of our trip!” |

| Monuments@Nite Bike Tour |
|
| Join us as we pedal toward the setting sun ... there’s no better way to spend an evening in Washington! This evening tour takes you to the National Mall and Potomac Tidal Basin when the monuments are less crowded, the air is cooler, and the views are magnificent. Explore the new WWII memorial, Vietnam War memorial, Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR memorials, the new Martin Luther King Jr memorial, and more. Riders are equipped with reflective vests and safety lights. |
| “Our family's favorite part of our D.C. visit. Our 9 and 10 year old boys were easily able to participate. After biking the short distance to each monument, our fabulous tour guide, Liz, provided us with some background. The best part was seeing monuments while they were lit up at night.” |

| Bike to Mount Vernon |
|
| Bike to Mount Vernon with this self-guided two-way ride on the Mount Vernon Trail. This scenic trail takes riders through Dykes Marsh and Belle View Park. The canopy coverage and banks of the Potomac provide seclusion and a beautiful transition back in time to an early America, making the ride a wonderful way to approach the timeless feel of the Mt. Vernon Estates. Price includes full day comfort hybrid bike rental and estate admission. Discounts do not apply. |
| “We rented bikes from Bike and Roll Alexandria and rode down to Mt Vernon. My 9 and 11 year old had no problem with the 20 mile ride. There are many water fountains along the way. The bikes were well maintained and the staff friendly. It was a magnificent family day activity.” |
