Dustin was wonderful. In fact he went out of his way to make sure we didn’t miss our tour. Traffic was terrible and the parking was a mess. We were running a few behind but he waited on us. He is very knowledgeable about Washington DC. We learned so much. Thanks Dustin! You rock!!!

DC evening tour you won’t forget!
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

The perfect way to tour Washington DC!
Washington DC is packed with monuments, historical sites, museums, and so much more. We choose an Adventure DC Tricycle tour ...and the experience was fantastic! They picked us up at our airbnb and took us to every place we wanted to see. Communication was excellent and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Skip the extremely long walks and wait times. Take a tour with Adventure DC Tricycle and relax, have fun, and enjoy your next visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

Awesome! Don't know how you would visit these museums for the first time without a tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour interesting for all of us, especially my 12 & 9 year old granddaughters. She was very accommodating and understanding when we were a few minutes late due to road closures and fencing.

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.
