About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 418alissam0 contributionsOne of our favorite tours ever!Our tour was led by the owner, Barry, and it was one of the best tours we’ve ever done! We had our family of four, including two young children, and Grandma. Barry did an excellent job of keeping the kids entertained, including fun little gifts for them throughout the tour. We got to stop and walk around the monuments and memorials that we wanted and it was such a great way to see D.C. The tour was worth every penny and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a personalized, fun tour! We loved it!Written September 10, 2024
- AviationNZ0 contributionsBest tour experience in DC!My wife and I did this tour with Barry as our guide and it was absolutely fantastic! He had such a huge amount of knowledge about not only DC, but also all American history. We got to see all the main highlights, going at a nice pace and allowing us time to stop for a little longer at certain spots if we wanted. Would highly recommend this!!Written September 7, 2024
- 536sierrab0 contributionsBest tour everThis is by far the best tour I have ever been on, Barry did an amazing job showing us different things downtown. We had so much fun and I highly recommend choose Adventure DC and Barry for the best tour in DC. He even got us as close as possible to the metro at night which made us feel so safe. He’s an amazing person and tour guide. Do not settle for less, make sure you go to Barry!Written September 7, 2024
- E1370POlisak0 contributionsThe greatest way to see DC! Stay cool and have a personalized experience!Both tours we have taken with Adventure DC have been outstanding! In 2023, we took a July 4th evening private tour after the fireworks, and learned a lot about DC History. Our guide also recommended the perfect viewing spot on the mall before our ride, and provided concierge level personalized recommendations that helped us have an amazing time! In 2024, we were thrilled to join again! The tricycle setup had been totally upgraded to be even more comfortable! We did a hidden gems/off the beaten path tour from Folger Shakespeare to Eastern Market, then through the museums and to Chinatown! The guide was incredibly flexible to suit our interests and coordinated a pickup/drop off that really suited our itinerary. The tricycle tour is absolutely the BEST way to see the sights of DC, especially when it's too hot to walk. Despite 95 degree heat which would have otherwise trapped us indoors, we were comfortable and saw so many things we wouldn't have been able to make it to. Our guide showed us hidden gems we had never heard of, despite spending a lot of time in DC! Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable, and we felt comfortable asking as many questions as we wanted as we knew he'd have great answers and seemed to really enjoy sharing his wealth of knowledge! We highly recommend booking a tricycle tour, and reaching out to the company to discuss any questions that are preventing you from booking, as the personal attention from the guide made our experience absolutely perfect! We cannot wait to return!Written August 31, 2024
- Discover265818502930 contributionsSuperior, guided insider knowledge, touring experience! Barry is such a genuinely nice guy. You won’t be disappointed!Barry is a genuinely nice guy! What an enjoyable enlightening experience from the moment we asked him a question he was immediately helpful and such a gentleman. So we decided to take a tour with him. Best decision of our trip ! Barry has uncommon historical information and is so proud of his hometown and sharing it with others. What a great experience I highly recommend booking directly with him even if you have to wait till he finishes up a tour with someone else. Well worth it. Super fun, so enjoyable and with such a nice guy. Thanks again Barry I made a friend for life.Written August 28, 2024
- jillsD6467WD0 contributionsWhat a great tour guide! He made our day.We stopped Barry on the National mall for a ride. He was very accommodating and took us around the monuments, White House, and Capitol, from one end to the other. He knew all the history and interesting facts and turned our day into a memorable event. Plus it's a long way to walk so he saved us. He was great. We will definitely refer him.Written August 26, 2024
- tonygX3290OB0 contributionsAdventure DC Tricycle Tours is AWESOME! Ask for Isaac!We were recently in Washington DC for vacation and I had the great fortune of doing an internet search and finding DC Tricycle Tours. With no advanced reservation and for on the same day, the owner Barry worked with me to create a plan to see exactly what we wanted to in the timeframe we sought. He set us up with one of his team members, Isaac, whom he promised would be great. WOW was he correct! Isaac picked us up at our location and delivered a 2 hour tour that was unforgettable. Of course there was the energy saved of not walking miles in 80 degree heat, but the value of being in a comfortable bike that could stop and start as we liked was great. But what was AWESOME was Isaac's knowledge he shared of each of the monuments and sights we visited, with some real gems of secrets you'd never get by yourself or on a general tour (i.e. bus). I highly recommend DC Tricycle Tours, and if we are ever back in DC we will do it again for sure!Written August 22, 2024
- colleencN6512QF0 contributionsBarry is 5 stars in our book!We had such a fantastic morning touring D.C. with our 4 kids. Barry was so accommodating, fun, and made the pedicab ride such an enjoyable & informative experience for our family. We are so grateful we found him! We asked our kids at the end of the tour about what they thought and he got rave reviews: “We loved him, he was SO good!” Thank you Barry for unforgettable day!Written August 22, 2024
- Y8852PNlindseyp0 contributionsTour DC in a fun way and check out some hidden gem along the way!We just went on an awesome tour of DC! Our tour guide, Barry showed us hidden gems and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to see the sights.Written July 27, 2024
- amymthompson0 contributionsGreat way to see DC!Thank you Barry for an incredible day in DC! We had so much fun being with you and enjoyed the customized experience. You are a great tour guide and took us to hidden gems and the main attractions! Thanks againWritten July 20, 2024
- Citykitty780 contributionsThe most fun tour!We went on an incredible tour on Barry’s limo trike yesterday through DC. I live here but had family visiting and Barry was extremely knowledgeable with extra special tidbits of knowledge that I had not known. He was friendly, engaging and even got the preteen to smile (we even think she had a great time). Barry’s tour was thorough, the ride was comfy and he was very skilled at navigating DC. I will definitely go on more of his tours.Written June 25, 2024
- TinaC3000 contributionsGreat way to see the National MallThis was a super fun way to see DC. I used to come to DC for business and when I did have time, I would walk and walk and walk. But this was a WAY better way. We got lucky as we did get Barry - the owner! He has written a GREAT book about DC sites, including great places to eat. His book is WAY better than anything put out by Rick Steves. Strongly suggest you consider this method of seeing DC on your next visit.Written June 21, 2024
- chrylfrgsn0 contributionsGreat overall tour of monuments and DC areaPedicab tour was great! We wanted a quick tour of all the monuments and the DC area so we could figure out where we wanted double back and spend more time for the rest of our week-long trip. This was the perfect tour for that purpose. Our guide also pointed out some neat places that are known to locals only. I would book this tour again.Written June 10, 2024
- Leesey740 contributionsThe most fun way to see it all in a short period of time.Our tour guide Barry from Adventure DC tricycle tours was very helpful from the planning of the tour to the tour execution. He also moved up our tour by a few hours so we could miss the afternoon forecasted rain. We have two tweens (10&12) and we picked the SCOOTER TOUR. They LOVED it. In three hours we got checked out on our scooters to make sure everyone was comfortable riding, stopped to load up our drink holders with water, and travelled the entire mall stopping to see the Washington Monument, White House (with surprise Presidential take off from the south lawn in Marine One), Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, MLK Memorial, Korean War Memorial, WWII Memorial, and the Capitol. The rain started coming down in the last 15 minutes and Barry had his team ready with a van to pick up the scooters right in front of our hotel so we didn’t have to walk back in the rain. He shared some surprise gifts with our kids, took amazing family photos of us and was so knowledgeable. What a gem! Our kids asked to go again tomorrow. That is high praise. Take a tour with Barry and it will be the highlight of any family trip to D.C.Written May 29, 2024
- EricH41920 contributionsSafe, silly, and fun!We went on the scooter tour with Barry, and had such a good time! I think our total party was like 5-6 people. We met at the rental shop first, which is conveniently located by this quiet alley, where everyone got to practice riding the scooters. It was nice making friends with the other riders too. Barry is a wonderful host and navigator. Super knowledgeable and fun! 10/10 would recommend. I know there are a bunch of other tours to try (which I honestly haven't). But I don't know.. I think I'm sold. I will be doing the next one with Barry again.Written May 12, 2024

My husband and I both love Washington DC and have travelled there many times. Over the years we have experienced many different tours and tourist options. For our recent visit we had a free day and were looking for something fun and different. Adventure DC Tricycle Tours looked interesting. It was more than that! Our guide Barry was terrific. His tour was knowledgable and comprehensive with great stories and a natural dialogue. We know a lot, but he kept our interest the entire time and shared a number of great "unknown gems" We loved all of it and cannot recommend highly enough.

Susan, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am so pleased that you enjoyed our tour and your guide's knowledge! It is always great to hear from satisfied customers like yourself. And it's amazing that despite your many times visiting DC, you still were able to be fascinated. Part of it comes from the nature of the city, I suppose. But also it seems your guide was great. We're so glad to hear that and we'll pass on your words. Very kind!

Highly recommend taking this tour. Step was very knowledgeable in all the monuments history and provided information on DC as well. . We loved the pace as you were able to take everything in and Step made it a lot of fun, even in .93 degree heat. Beats being on a bus with a lot of people, your own personal tour. Don’t miss it.

Steph and Blue are AMAZING tour guides! They’re very knowledgeable and passionate. They were really animated and engaging with us, and it made for a really fun experience learning about DC’s history.
Riding around in the back of the pedicab, while learning about the cool old buildings, was really neat and romantic. We also stopped at a few different monuments, walked around some, and took some cute pictures.
They were very accommodating and sweet, and I HIGHLY recommend taking their tour!

This was an amazing tour! Barry was a phenomenal tour guide, experienced pedicab driver, and a great pleasure to spend the day with! He was so knowledgeable about all the history of this fabulous city! If you have MOBILITY ISSUES, this is definitely the way to go! We were able to tour comfortably and privately, going where we wanted, at the perfect pace to see everything at leisure and take pictures of everything with an unobstructed view, to stop when we felt like stopping, and enjoy the fresh open air! Barry took us right up to all the best spots, explaining all the rich history as we went, took pictures of us, and even got me a wheelchair at the Lincoln Monument! I can't imagine touring D.C. in a more enjoyable way! He picked us up and dropped us off right at our hotel! It was a perfect day!

Thank you for your most detailed review of the tour! I do believe we offer the best tour of the monuments and memorials on the National Mall, hearing that your experience was "magical" makes me almost giddy!
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with future DC visitors. As you know, we offer one of the few private tours that is both kid-friendly and dog-friendly. Your words are so extraordinarily kind, and both my small company and I are most appreciative.
Thank you again for writing this amazing review. You and your family are welcome back any time!

This was the best day of our Washington DC trip because of this amazing tour -- and we all got to ride around Washington DC on a tricycle! The tour guide entertained the family with engrossing stories and facts. I really can't say enough about this experience.
A couple of things you should be aware of, in case you're thinking about booking with them (which you should!). At the time of this posting, Adventure DC Tricycle Tours:
1. Allows for Easy postponement
2. Charges no cancellation fee
For those worried about rain (or other bad weather), the weather was not on our side either. But they suggested changing our tour date allowing for warm sunny skies instead of cold rain. And they had complete covering that could be added to the cab if the weather got cold.
We had so much fun being shown around DC learning about the memorials and getting fascinating insights. Our fantastic guide narrated the whole tour and customized the route based on our interests. We saw a LOT in a short period of time.
To answer a couple of question:
* Is it Kid-friendly? YES! And our kids loved it.
* Does it get too hot with the sun beating down outside? No. Everyone is canopy-protected from the sun, and there's more extensive protection if it the weather gets bad.
* Is this a customizable tour? YES! It's completely customizable.
* Is this tour good for families? Absolutely. As the creator of "A Sailor's Wife" Blog I am always on the lookout for family-friendly activities, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Both the adults (me and my husband) and the kids loved it.
Summary: HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I had a couple friends come to visit DC. Being new to the area, I wasn’t sure what to show them. I’m so happy we did the tour. Steph and Blue were great tour guides. They gave us an exciting and informative tour of all of the monuments. They stopped where ever we wanted and let us explore while telling us the history of each location. They were funny, kind and accommodating. They even showed us a great late night sushi place called hammeltons. 10/10 would highly recommend.

3 longtime friends and I decided to take a long weekend trip to Washington DC and wanted to see all the sites. We made reservations for 2 pedicabs and they cycled us around to all the monuments and memorials and gave us all the background history for each. They gave us time to get out and take pictures and walk up to each if we wanted. This pair was was very fun, friendly and knowledgeable of all the sites. I was also in charge of getting pictures of Flat Stanley at all the sites for my grandson and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend seeing the sites by way of the pedicab for the ease of getting around and the fun facts.
