DC’s iconic monuments become even more inspiring when the white marble is illuminated in contrast to the night sky. With fewer tourists and little traffic, you can revel in the monuments’ peaceful and calming essence. This private 2 ½ – 3-hour bike ride can be customized to see your favorite monuments.
Your private bike guide will meet you at your hotel, review a recommended route with the best night sights and customize your bicycle ride to see additional sights you want to visit. Favorites sights to see at night include the White House, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, DC WWI Memorial, and the WWII Memorial. Based on your interests, your guide can also take you to the FDR Presidential Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean Veterans Memorial, Smithsonian Castle, Capitol Building, Library of Congress, or Supreme Court. Your guide will provide you with brand new premium water bottles, snacks, and lights and is able to carry some (if not all) of your gear.

2. Important Information for guests traveling with children: Adults and teens can enjoy riding appropriately-sized bicycles while smaller children can either ride kids bikes or be chauffeured safely by the DC Cycling Concierge in his custom family bike (ages 4 months to 9-year-olds) and/or tag-along (ages 3 to 10-year-olds). The family bike and tag along, gives parents of little ones some major peace-of-mind about safety and predictability. And if their kids get tired, they can coast on the tag-along or even sleep on the family bike.
