Lovely fall experience

Published on Oct, 2023

We did this tour in the fall when the leaves were changing and beginning to fall. The colors along the path were so vibrant and beautiful. Highly recommend!

Great experience, Mt Vernon even better!

Published on Oct, 2023

We loved the ride, It was quite the ride for someone that is not athletic so be ready. We did get lost and got out of the trail in error, map or guided direction signs would be so helpful.

The bike ride along the river was soo beautiful.

Published on Oct, 2023

That was an amazing trip. Alexandria is soo beautiful. All the scenery and glimpses of the river along was amazing.

Perfect Mix of Active and Historical Tour

Published on Sep, 2023

We were met at the storefront and quickly and easily got our bikes. The boat cruise was not in season when we went so enjoyed the 10 miles there and 10 miles back. Weather was perfect and the trail was just challenging enough. Mt. Vernon was a nice way to break up the 20 miles of riding. Parking our car was a bit tough as everything close by was only 3 hours and the tour is all day. Make sure to have a plan in place to park your car for the day. Would definitely recommend and do it again!

Great experience

Published on May, 2023

The view of the Potomac during the bike ride. The bikes were nice bikes, but didn’t exactly fit us. It was about 18 miles all together, which we are used to, however not so many hills.
