From Washington DC Mount Vernon and Alexandria Private Day Tour
Dennise_N, Jul 2026
Love the Customization
We had done a previous private day tour with Rami. I had looked at other tours but none would get us the day we wanted. So I booked this tour and was super excited Rami joined us again. He picked us up on time at our hotel, we told him what we wanted out of the day, he said the day was ours. We drove to Mount Vernon and he dropped us off. I had already reserved our Mansion Time the night before. I didn’t know how much time to allow but I did 1.75 hours from hotel pickup. That gave us plenty of time to get to Mount Vernon and sightsee the grounds before getting in line to do the tour, and then we finished the rest of what we wanted to see and went to gift shop where we called Rami when we were ready. He picked us up right up front and took us to Old Alexandria where my goal was a little sightseeing but mostly shopping. We had just enough time to hit what we wanted and then grab gelato/sorbet before we were picked back up to head back to hotel. This day could have been a little longer for me to do all the things but I appreciated the opportunity to do it. We enjoyed the day not having to worry about driving, parking, and not knowing where to go. We loved getting to know Rami more and hearing the history of the area. And appreciated him giving us suggestions but letting the day completely being our own. Thanks again!

Amazing Day From the Hustle and Bustle
This was an awesome day! Rami picked us up on time at our hotel. He then explained a little bit about our options for the day. The day is entirely up to you so a little planning and knowing the areas you want to go to is encouraged. You can leave things in the vehicle so take whatever you think you may need. Rami took us through the backcountry at our request, then several stops for bathroom & shopping, a 1.5 mile hiking spot that was perfect for us (you can go to any trails along the way and hike them), and then since we had time and didn’t want to hike anymore we opted to go to Loray Caverns, then back to DC to our hotel right on time for return. Please note: This adventure does not include entrance fees so you must pay for National Park entrance fee and Cavern fees if you elect to go there. Great trip! We loved Rami so much we did another one of these private day tours.

250th Fireworks; a one-in-a-lifetime experience,

Pedicab Sightseeing Tour on the National Mall

250th Fireworks; a one-in-a-lifetime experience,
I communicated with Chris, owner and driver, severral times before we booked. It proved to be very beneficial. Chris was quite prompt about replying to my emails/texts. Tour ended up being quite costly as the fireworks didn't start until after the president was done talking, so started at midnight! It was worth it though. We think Chris did a very good job positioning the pedicab in an excellent location for seeing the fireworks and taking pictures. The seats were very comfortable. We did have to ask Chris a couple times to go slower as the bumps were alittle difficult for us to handle. Other than than, very satisfied. We wouldn't have hired his company had they not been able to come directly to our hotel.

Comfortable and engaging ride to Shenandoah
Rami was such a professional and engaging driver. He made sure we had a comfortable and safe trip to Shenandoah so we could enjoy the view of the overlook and comfort/tasty burgers of the skyland lodge. Since I had already seen the Luray cave, he kindly offered to bring us to the Great falls (virginia side) and it was also worth a visit. If you dont have much time and a car, this tour is definitely worth the trip.

Perfect tour, especially with mobility challenges!

Essential Monuments & Memorials Tour

Perfect tour, especially with mobility challenges!
My parents and partner and I went on two separate tours with Rob and Don with Nonpartisan Pedicab in March 2026. This was a fantastic way to see the sights for my folks who were having mobility challenges at the time and needed a way to travel around the city with a wheelchair and limited walking. Rob and Don were kind, professional, and engaging and came prepared for anything the weather might throw at us. Rob coordinated with us before our trip to recommend the best dates and times to see the peak Cherry Blossoms based on the weather forecast and peak predictions. Our first tour was a moonlit monument tour and it was a cold, rainy, and windy evening - they came prepared with warm wool blankets for all of us, and had the pedalcabs protected from the elements with a roof and clear plastic covers! We chose to do two separate tours to see as much as we could in both the evening and day time as my mom as always wanted to see the Cherry Blossoms (day time) and the monuments are must so gorgeous lit up at night. Rob and Don picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, and/or our museum of choice - making transportation around the city so much easier and convenient! It's a bit pricey, but worth it for my family and our needs, and they customize the trip to your requests - they even had a proposal that weekend where Rob picked up flowers for the unsuspecting guest! I HIGHLY recommend this company for an engaging trip around DC, they both have so much knowledge and history to share!
