⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

Another great visit
Though had visited there several times before attended the after hours event for members. Free to do what desired. Walked the grounds by myself without the crowds. Then relaxed on the chairs at the rear of the mansion looking at the river. The mansion and museum tours were great as usual. .

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!

Private Mt. Vernon/Arlington Cemetery Tour for up to 10 Guests

A++ family experience with Chris at Arlington and Mt. Vernon
Chris, who is the owner of the business, is by far the most phenomenal tour guide we have ever had on any vacation. He was so dedicated to making sure that we covered every square inch of Mt. Vernon and Arlington National Cemetery, taking us to see spots other tour guides do not typically take you. Also impressive, was Chris' encyclopedic knowledge of both sites, in addition to knowledge about all other sites of Washington D.C., our national history, and key figures in our national history. I asked him how he knew so much, and he shared that he spends a great deal of his time in places like the Library of Congress, the DC museums, and in reading countless books about our nation's history and our key figures. Finally, Chris is just a great guy to share the day with. My son and I were blown away and so appreciative of having the privilege of having Chris host us for the day.

We booked a bike tour of DC for our family with three 14 year olds, and were blown away! Jeff was absolutely amazing in tailoring a tour that kept us all engaged, and we had a great time! He worked with us to help with an issue the secondary site had with our booking, and was incredible to work with through the whole process. Jeff’s tour is a must for anyone visiting DC! We got got to see it all, and in a fun and meaningful way. Thank you, Jeff!!

Above and beyond experience!
Chris was spectacular! We anticipated more of a scripted presentation, closely monitored times and being ushered along. Instead it was as if your favorite cousin took you on the tour, he was friendly and personable. He not only knew the the area and history of the surroundings but he thoroughly knew the history and details of Arlington and Washington's Mount Vernon. He gave us guidance and pointed out easy to miss significant landmarks. He was accommodating, flexible, and punctual. We had such a great time.

Old Town, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Private Tour
Janet_M, Apr 2026
Awesome Tour & Tour Guide!
Absolutely LOVED our Guide! He has 30 years' experience and was extremely knowledgeable. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which made it easy for my dad who was in a wheelchair. As we drove to Mt. Vernon, we were able to learn some of the interesting history of Alexandria and even stop at one of the churches. Since this was a private tour, we were able to go at our own pace. We had reserved lunch at the Mount Vernon Inn, and everyone loved their meal. The guide picked us back up at the designated time and showed us around Mt. Vernon. I would highly recommend trying this option if you want to go to Mount Vernon.
