“A very fun way to see the city and spring blossoms! I don’t think anyone needs an electric bike, the terrain is flat and easy to bike. Cherry blossoms all but gone now but still fun to see the few left and all of the tulips! Would love the tour to include the White House and capitol building but in the time we had we saw all the best monuments. Located by the wharf, there are many great restaurants to grab lunch or dinner. About 5.5 miles of biking. Greg S was a great guide!”

4.National Mall & Cherry Blossoms with Washington Monument Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 21 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $59

The route mixes short walks with an air-conditioned bus and may include reserved self-guided entry to the Washington Monument. Guides such as James, Sally, and Tyrone have led recent tours.

“We booked this tour, the main reason being because we wanted to enjoy a trip to the top of the Washington Monument. However, nearing the end of the tour, which was the stated "admission highlight", the tour guide couldn't take us to the monument, for reasons which he didn't make clear, and offered a boat ride as compensation. In my view, this should have been announced at the beginning of the trip, with a money back offer.”
