I had the pleasure of taking the bike tour with Phil and Alex yesterday. I would highly recommend it. Although I have been to DC a number of times, they still managed to show me new and interesting stuff. Their little magic binder which they pulled out at the points of interest really added to the knowledge base. The bikes... More

The guide had incredible knowledge of DC and I learned so much about the history, even though I'm from the area. We went all over, from the monuments, to Shaw district, to U Street. Stayed the perfect amount of time at every location and we even had chances to stop and take pictures where ever we wanted. Great tour, highly... More

Alex and Phil were both very nice and knowledgable. They made us feel safe even biking during rush hour traffic. My bf and... More

Jesse and Alex were awesome guides.... very knowledgeable about D.C., the monuments, and surrounding neighborhoods. I particularly liked getting into the residential neighborhoods to see where local people live and dine out. Ate at an Ethiopian restaurant on U street...was fun to try and the food was good. Would have never tried that on my own nor would I have... More

My husband and I just did the National Mall Cherry Blossom Tour on April 1st. It was the best way to see all of the sites, get a little exercise, and meet some REALLY knowledgeable guides. Revolution Cycles had everything ready to go when we arrived. The bikes & helmets were in mint condition and adjusted (my husband 6'2''/ me... More

We did two bike tours with the same company in New York and mentioned that we would like to do one whilst in Washington DC. Although there wasn't a ride scheduled for the Saturday the guys organised one for us and we weren't disappointed. Sean was at the shop to meet us, we were given bikes and helmets and off... More

Had a great tour with Pat and Shaun. The tour lasted over 6 hours and was worth every penny. We got to see parts of the city that you wouldn't see on any other tour. We got to see different neighbourhoods, alleyways, shops, places to eat and obviously the main sights including a memorable cycle down the mall. Pat was... More

My son and I (age 13) had an awesome time on this tour. We did the B tour on Sunday evening with Pat and his trainee Adam. Despite the record DC heat, it was breezy on the bikes and fairly comfortable. The bikes were new Trek city cruisers, geared, in fine condition, and comfortable. The pace was easy. We made... More

My family and I had a wonderful experience on the Bike the Big Capital tour last Sunday evening. Our guide, Pat, was wonderful- humorous, knowledgeable, and so friendly. He welcomed us to the tour as if we were old friends, and we saw so much more of D.C. than we would have otherwise. I especially enjoyed the historic houses we... More
