Totally fantastic experience. James our guide had such a knowledge of each site we visited. He added so much to just seeing the sights! Driver Kris was also amazing and went out of his way a few times to give us some extra views and sights. Well worth going with these guys as both are experienced at what they do and have such a wealth of facts and information and very willing to answer any questions! Definitely a great and fair price for our 3 hour tour

Very tour bus EVER with an incredible team!
Kris was a very kind and conscientious driver. He made sure we had time to capture pictures of key sites and went above and beyond to sow us things that may not have been a part of the “ regular” sites. We went on 9/11 and we appreciated his efforts to show us the pentagon and the flag that marked the scar from the terror attack. James was wildly knowledgeable and funny. He was open to questions and generally always knew the history behind the answers HIGHLY recommend

In life, sometimes you end up on a tour with very drunk people who interrupt a lot, and it's really frustrating. However, Trevor, our guide, was awesome and handled it admirably! He was super knowledgeable and kind, and a great storyteller. Really enjoyed despite the unavoidable circumstances.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Worth Every Penny!Without question, this was one of the best experiences we had in Washington, D.C.Bob was an outstanding guide. His knowledge of the city’s history, architecture, monuments, memorials, and the stories behind each landmark was incredible. He didn’t just take us from place to place, he brought Washington to life. Every stop had meaning because Bob explained the history, the symbolism, and the events that shaped our nation.One of the funniest parts was watching the crowds of people walking in the summer heat. You could see so many people stopping to rest with tired feet, sore legs, and exhausted faces, while our family was sitting back, smiling, laughing, and effortlessly taking in everything around us. We had the best seat in the city while enjoying a private guided tour. It honestly felt like we had discovered Washington, D.C.’s best-kept secret.We were traveling with our 3 year old, and Bob made the experience enjoyable for everyone. He was personable, funny, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does.If you’re visiting Washington, D.C., don’t spend the day exhausted trying to figure everything out on your own. Book a tour with Nonpartisan Pedicab and ask for Bob. It was hands down one of the highlights of our trip and an experience we’ll never forget. Five stars isn’t enough!

Our tour guide was great! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, flexible and very patient with my 3 elderly siblings who walk slowly. I have a very scholarly brother and cousin with whom he meshed well with their knowledge and endless questions! On top of that he had a great sense of humor and lots of positive energy.

A Fabulous Private Tour with Robert!
We had an absolutely wonderful private tour with Robert! The weather was beautiful, and traveling by pedicab was such a fun, comfortable way to experience Washington. We saw far more than we ever could have managed on foot, and the entire tour felt relaxed, interesting, and completely tailored to us.Robert was friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful company. We brought our two small dogs, and he was incredibly accommodating, even happily keeping them with him whenever we wanted to step inside somewhere.We never felt rushed, and Robert made the entire experience easy and enjoyable from beginning to end. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip. I would enthusiastically recommend Robert and Nonpartisan Pedicab to anyone visiting Washington!
