DC's best guided bike adventure - We had such a great time on this tour! Our guide, Jeff, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with all members of our group. We learned the history of Washington DC along with fun facts and stories along the way. The route was well planned and safe. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the city in a unique, active and engaging way.

Highlight of our trip - This was the highlight of our trip to DC. Our family had the best time with Jeff touring on bikes. Jeff was personal with the recommendations of places to visit. He was kind enough to accommodate a struggling rider and provided hidden gems of sites throughout the city. I’d 200% recommend this activity for anyone- whether an individual wanting to see sites or a large group.

Awesome experience with DC cycling! - We had it an incredible day with Jeff And DC cycling. Jeff was so knowledgeable, organized, and safe for our group of six. The time with him just flew by. He was also kind enough to bring gloves and hats for everyone as it was a chilly day. I would highly recommend jeff and DC cycling.

Jeff's family-friendly bike tour exceeded our expectations!! - Cycling with Jeff through DC was amazing! A 10 out of 10!! The tour exceeded our expectations, as all three kids (17, 14, 12) announced that this bike tour was the best part of our trip. Jeff has a wealth of knowledge about DC, and was certain to share stories you don't typically hear about in history books. Jeff was a great guide (we stopped at all the big destination spots, and he took us to some of the lesser known spots as well), photographer (he graciously took photos of our family in front of all of the stops), and host (he brought us all personal water bottles, snacks, and extra clothing to adapt to the weather). The trip was a fun way to see the city, while also sneaking in a little exercise. We highly recommend Jeff's bike tour and this experience!

Perfect way to see DC with kids! - This tour was one of the highlights of my family's trip to DC and it was the absolute perfect way to do DC with kids. Jeff was fantastic - he engaged my kids through the whole day, made the history and context come alive. He was super flexible, handling a 6, 8 and 10 year old's questions (and need for extra breaks) like the pro he clearly is. We ended up extending our tour by almost two hours we were having such a great time. Thank you Jeff!

Best way to see DC - I booked Jeff's tour after experiencing his DC biking series on iFIT at home. We had a family of five that included children in the preteen to teenager range. Jeff met us at our place of lodging with the comfortable bikes, water bottles, and snacks. He led us to a variety of sites during the Monuments and Mall tour with accompanying historical facts and fun stories. Jeff customed the tour and asked several times for customer input as the ride was unfolding. Our family would have never covered as much ground or learned as much interesting information about Washington DC without Jeff. He went above and beyond with the extensiveness of our experience. One of my children listed this tour as the highlight of his entire DC trip. I definitely recommend Jeff as your DC Cycling Concierge!

CYCLING D.C. AT ANY AGE - Jeff had all our bikes ready to ride when he arrived at our hotel. There were six persons in our group, ranging in ages from 15 to 78. The ride -- about 11 miles -- was a perfect length for our group and included the Washington Monument (where Jeff took an iconic picture of us), Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, along the Potomac to Georgetown, and Arlington National Cemetery. It was more than just sightseeing -- Jeff provided a most informative historical and cultural narrative -- interspersed with a sense of humor and infectious laugh -- as we cycled along. Whether as an introductory ride of D.C. or as a more in-depth view of the City by those who are already acquainted with it, I highly recommend Jeff Miller at DC Cycling Concierge as your guide.

Superb historical and local knowledge- fun tour. - Ella took us all around the DC mall monuments. She and Jeff were ready for us outside our hotel before 8am and we had a lovely morning beating the heat. Ella's historical knowledge and fun facts were great. Truly appreciate the local knowledge. She showed us where we would meet our next tour (behind the capital) and we thankfully followed her suggestion to end our tour at "We the Pizza" for lunch between our tours. We did this tour as a family of 4 with a 13 and 15 year old.
