Washington DC Monuments by Night Private Biking Tour
Begin with pickup at your DC accommodations, and get suited up with lights, clear riding glasses, and safety gear. If you have your own bikes, bring them along, and if not, your guide will bring a bike that’s suited to you. Pedal along a route that makes use DC’s system of bike lanes, and link up a ‘best-of’ series of capital city sights. Ride past the White House, and spot the blinking light on top of the Washington Monument—catch the reflection of the illuminated landmark in the nearby reflecting pool, and pause to snap a photo of the classic view. Continue to the Jefferson Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, where you can hop off your bike to climb the marble stairs to the base of the Abraham Lincoln statue. Tour the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, which is engraved with King’s own words. Take in Washington, DC’s moving war memorials, too: see the Vietnam Memorial, the Korean War Veteran’s Memorial, and the World War II Memorial. Throughout the evening, make the most of this fully customizable, private tour by visiting the sites that interest you most, with the flexibility to move at your own pace.
