What is a pedicab? The Best Way to do Washington DC Sightseeing, of course!

Pedicabs are human powered transportation that allows you to quietly and conveniently get up close to your destination.

They can also have the added benefit of providing a professional tour guide that delivers a personal interactive experience that is just not available with other tours.

Up to 3 regular sized adults can be accommodated, as well as, folding wheelchairs or baby-strollers.  They are ideal for the elderly or people with mobility issues.

Group tours can also be easily arranged.

Many people come to DC expecting to walk all over — Smithsonian museums, Capitol, White House, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, etc.

On the map, everything looks close. At some point, they realize that everything is actually spread out over a large area. People become exhausted and it takes a lot of time to walk around. When that happens many worthwhile sites get missed and people think about their aching feet rather than the national heritage.

Hiring a pedicab is a very practical solution. Quick, convenient, comfortable and affordable.

Walking long distances in the heat.

Looks like more fun, right?

You don’t need to wear a helmet on our tour… or sign a liability and insurance waiver…

A Segway Tour sounds like fun and adventure. But a trip to the emergency room can certainly ruin your vacation and using a Segway is definitely not as easy as it looks.

It can be expensive and at least a half-hour of your tour is spent on safety training instead of seeing the sights. A lot of people abandon their segway tours and end up walking.

Segways are cool transportation devices.  Under the right circumstances you can see why people refer to them as possibly changing the future of transportation.

But they are not all that great for touring the Monuments, Memorials and Museums.

Unless you want to be a crash-test dummy.
