"This is the best way to see DC - by e-bikes"

Our guide Mary led a group of 12 bikers all around the Mall, stopping at all the important memorials and sites, giving us terrific information and background on each of them. She gave us enough time to walk around, take photos and just absorb the significance of the historical events and people that are recognized here. It didn't hurt that the weather was just glorious. When a couple people had their chain come loose, she was right there to assist and get us on our way. My husband and I asked if, when the tour was done, we could pay to use the bikes for a few more hours, and Mary took care of our request without delay. So overall, she and Unlimited Biking made our visit to DC very special and satisfying and I would highly recommend them both.

Easy location to find and good experience renting bikes for a day of touring around the National Mall. Rented hybrid bikes which were fine for a day use.

Reviewed September 20, 2025
I was visiting DC for work and had limited time to see all the sights. This is an awesome way to see the major monuments and have some added history and storytelling behind it. Marcus was a great tour guide and provided helpful suggestions for other things to do in the area. Perfect group size of 10 people.
