Nice tour on bikes. - Very easy paced bike ride, plenty of stops for cherry blossom viewing! Much of ride was on the sidewalk, so you had to be very careful in the crowds there for cherry blossom festival.

Blooming and Bikes - Mark our tour guide was great. The traffic was busy due to cherry festival but navigate it well. There were some young kids on our trip and he was great with them. The Roosevelt monument was so great. Thank you!

Great ride through the DC cherry blossoms - We had a great ride with Aiden through DC stopping to see a few monuments as we took in the cherry blossoms at their peak. Interesting facts, a moderate pace, and good safety protocols. Aiden even quickly helped another bike group with a bike chain issue. Great service, great ride, great day!!

Fun & Infornative Evperience - Our tour guide Wally was easy going, but safe, and he brought us on a fun and interesting route and gave us interesting information about it. I was with my high school aged son but there was a 10 year old on it who did great and adults of all ages. Very fun way to see DC.

Beautiful Tour - Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient. She guided us expertly through the crowds around each location. The blossoms were beautiful and we felt like we had enough time at each spot to take it all in. Thanks for a lovely time.

Cherry Blossom Tour - Guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was very manageable. The cherry blossoms had bloomed early so we’re not as spectacular but we were still able to see trees with blooms.

Not great for kids and groups - The tour size was too large to be enjoyable as the tour guide was speaking, we couldn't hear anything she said since we were in the back of the pack (13 bike riders). Also, because it was so crowded (not the tour's fault), we were often getting cut off from our group, losing sight of our group, and trying to cross dangerous intersections quickly to not fall far behind. It would have been better to find alternate routes that were more bike tour friendly.

Do NOT do this tour during the cherry blossom rush - My review is primarily about the experience, nothing against the tour operators. I booked it hoping that it gives us a fast and easy way to cover the Tidal Basin area with all the cherry trees in blossom. In reality, with hundreds of thousands of people milling about due to the cherry blossoms and the kite festival, it was impossible to bike. I was constantly worried about hitting a stroller or hitting a car — cars were also totally gridlocked. Half the time we were walking with our bikes or rolling along with pedestrians. This tour should not be operated on the busiest weekend, and also not so late in the afternoon. You will do far better coming in early morning and walking a couple of miles along the tidal basin for photos.
About the operators: the bikes were good, the setup was fantastic, no complaints there. We should have been given more instructions about the traffic rules to follow (locations of the bike lanes weren't always obvious). I was also hoping for more storytelling from our guide about the history of the trees, or the monuments we visited. However, he worked very hard to make sure we all got around in literally stampede-level crowds, so maybe it was just not the day to stop and talk.

Not great. - Our guide was lovely but young and inexperienced so when a bike needed to be fixed she was a little panicked. Also it was very busy and we should have been on bike lanes instead of weaving in and out of pedestrians. Dangerous.
