Guided tour

See DC’s monuments come alive at dusk without worrying about driving, parking, or navigating. You’ll get your bike, helmet, and gear, then ride as a group along the National Mall and around the Tidal Basin.

You cover way more ground than walking, get the fresh evening air, cooler temps, and fewer crowds. Perfect if you want the best views and vibes after dark, minus the stress.

A licensed English-speaking guide who not only knows the history, but shares it in interesting stories will lead the way.

If you’re 16 or older, you can upgrade to an eBike version (motor-assisted) so hills and longer stretches are easier.
