Best Tour and Guide-You don’t want to miss!
We had a fantastic time on this tour and it was the best decision we made on the trip. Our driver picked us up directly from the hotel, which was a blessing because we had just gotten into town did mot know our way around yet. Mark was informative and told us things we wouldn’t have otherwise known if we had gone independently. He saved us a lot of walking too because we were dropped off at the entrances to every monument. The air-conditioned Mercedes van was clean, cool, and comfortable. This was definitely worth the money and I will recommend it to all.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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!

Greg_W, Jul 2026
Worth the money.
Wonderful tour. A great way to visit Arlington and Mt. Vernon in one day. Picked up from our hotel in DC. 9am, returned to hotel 4pm. Definitely worth seeing if you’re in DC. Great for couples and families with kids also. Very convenient, didn’t need to schedule transportation or purchase tour tickets, everything is included with this tour. Our guide Brittney was fantastic. She has a pleasant demeanor and knowledgeable. A great way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

Private Mount Vernon and Arlington National Cemetery Tour
James_B, Jul 2026
Great experience!
Our guide Brittany made the experience first class right from the beginning. Pick up right at our hotel and then a quick stop at Walgreens to get some essentials. We were visiting during the busiest ever weekend for DC…4th of July for the 250th during an unprecedented heat wave. We were dropped off right at the door or entry to all places visited making it easy. She also took the time to help me find a grave at Arlington that was important to me as a Marine Veteran, John Basilone. The entire experience felt very VIP and made a visit during a very busy and hot time a joy. You won’t regret this decision and will feel better when you see the crowds that don’t have the benefit of a VIP guide.

Scooter Tour — Washington DC’s Monuments and Memorials
N8551UZgretchens, Jun 2026
Highlight of our DC Trip!
Barry was a FANTASTIC tour guide. We are a family of 4 (husband, 17-year-old twins, and me) and we wanted an evening tour so we could see the monuments at the golden hour and also see them lit up at night. Our 7:30pm start time was perfect! Barry timed everything so we got to see the monuments at their most beautiful.The historic information he shared was wonderful--great details with a good overview. We felt like we understood the highlights of each monument/memorial and were able to appreciate and understand the significance of each one. And then we could gauge which ones we wanted to come back to--or not!Side note: he is a great photographer! He took many photos of our family and even some fun ones at the Washington Monument. :) But what was most appreciated was his warm and sincere energy. We loved him! Our family agreed this tour was the highlight of our 3 day DC trip.

We took the “Secrets & Scandals” walking tour of downtown D.C. with Jalisa, and it was a great experience. It was enjoyable to walk through the city while learning more about the history, locations, and stories behind them. Jalisa was full of information and brought real excitement and energy to the tour, making the stories even more engaging. Overall, it was an informative and entertaining way to experience downtown D.C.

Awesome road bike tour through DC.
My family and I have been on over a dozen guided bike tours throughout the world. This tour with Jim was an exceptional experience from the moment he picked us up at our hotel to our drop-off at the end of the day. The bikes were the highest quality we’ve ever used. The routes ran mostly on car-free roads and paths through an unexpected national treasure — Rock Creek Park. Jim has a tremendous depth of knowledge about the area, but more than that, he’s simply a wonderful guy who really knows his bikes. He earned a Watson Fellowship in college to bike around the world, and later served as president of the National Bike Alliance. We can’t recommend this tour enough!

The day of our tour there was a No King manifestation in DC and Heidi our tour guide had to modify the different stops. We could not get near the Capitol because of the people were moving that way and the police had the different streets closed. Even though, Heide attempted the best she could to complete the schedule.
