Our guide Greg S gave us a great tour, sharing interesting facts and insights about the city’s key buildings. He brought it to life by sharing personal experiences of attending DCs inauguration events and shared photos of being there. Bikes were great - easy to ride and it was a great way to see so much of the city in 2 hours. Thank you!

The check in and check out process was lack luster. Directions on how to check in and out was as if no cares were given. Reps on their phones and just sort of barking at you what to do. It did not feel like we were appreciated clients. We didn't have to be— we could have used other bike/scooter options and self guided around the sites. Our guide Wally was GRAND! Kind and helpful and enjoyable!! The bike business itself could have cared less about us as customers.
