Washington DC has long been on my Bucket List. To maximize the time we had, we decided on an overview that was different, tailored to our interests and proved... read more to be delightful.

Non-partisan Pedicab was the perfect vehicle (no pun intended) for my husband and myself. We met Barry, our guide, at the Supreme Court building and our guided tour of the Monuments and Memorials with a trip down Musem Row began.

Barry was a delightful host, not only could he pedal, watch for traffic and keep up a running commentary about Washington DC, it's history and the sights we were passing. Stops were frequent to allow for pictures, he would point out features of interest and give us a bit of pertinent history. He had the ability to bring history lessons to life as well as helped us to make some decisions on what we would return to later in the week.

For something different and tailored to fit. Non-partisan Pedi-Cab is a great experience.

  To see all the non ticketed monuments in Washington DC on foot is a HUGE task and requires a lot of ground to be covered so we opted to try... read more the pedicab

I discussed our options via email with Robert who was so responsive and helpful that we felt extremely comfortable booking with them . Even right up to the day of the tour he was still assisting us - thank you Robert !

Our tour guide for the night was Barry. He was PHENOMENAL!!!! Not only did this guy manually ride us around for a very full 3 hours , might I mention this was not e-bike here, just leg power, he somehow managed to chat away and entertained and educated us the whole way round with interesting facts and discussion

And to top it all off he was also our photographer for the night. We have so many fantastic photos of our evening !

Barry went above and beyond for us and must have been exhausted after his ride but we would like to personally thank him for the most amazing evening . Thank you 🙏🏻

  This experience was far beyond my expectations. Robert was so flexible as to routes and which monuments and duration, even as the tour was in process! He was so... read more knowledgeable about the city and the sites, providing backstories and photos that enhanced the overall trip. The ride was smooth, even providing a canopy in the case of rain. I can tell you, this is the way to see the city, no long walks from one site to another with concerns about anyone wearing out. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped off where we needed. During the route, we could hop off and enjoy the site of our choice as long as we needed. You will not be disappointed.

  This was the best way to see DC for me as I have mobility issues and need a walker to walk any distance. I thought of renting a mobility scooter... read more instead but I would have seen far less with that. My guide (with initials DC) was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating and even brought a bunch of photographs showing the locations as they once were. I had been to DC years ago so we focused on the newer attractions such as the memorials to WWI, WWII, and the Korean and Vietnam wars. We were able to get very close to most of the attractions which I couldn’t with my car, even with a handicapped permit. I am very glad I chose this way of seeing DC.

  Our tour guide, Don Clark, was awesome! He demonstrated a wealth of knowledge pertaining to the history of the many institutions, monuments and sites. He was a perfect tour... read more guide and would highly recommend him.

  I hate admitting that I struggle with long walking adventures and when I saw these reviews, I knew this was the way to see DC! And I was right! Bob... read more - my guide- was so knowledgeable and I felt safe the whole time navigating city traffic with him!

And yes, getting up close is the true value of the tour. This is money well spent for the conversation, knowledge, efficiency and yes, pain free and fun experience! Thank you, Bob!

  This was the best part of our trip. I have a difficult time walking a long way...THIS WAS THE ANSWER! Our guide was wonderful I'm sure he told... read more us many things we would not have learned on our own or bus tour. You don't have to be limited in walking to take this pedicab...you will see so much and learn so much in a limited time.

  Best way to see Washington DC - I know taking bus tours in DC would still require a ton of walking, so I googled how to get around DC disabled and pedicab tours came up. I contacted... read more this company about a month before our trip. Robert was very nice and personable and booked our reservation. Didn’t require any cc deposit. He confirmed with us the day before and also gave us tour guide Kevin ph#. Kevin came on time direct to our hotel. He was very friendly and so well educated and we learned a lot! This is the only way to see DC without having to walk 10 miles! We got to see every monument and get out and walk to them when we wanted. Amazing tour and guy! I would highly recommend this company and ask for Kevin!!

  The BEST AND ONLY way to really see DC! - This is the BEST and Only way to see the area, especially if you have mobility impairments. We loved the tour and our guide! It is worth every penny! ... read more No trying to get on and off buses, no getting lost, no scheduling problems. Our guide knew when to see the White House before the area was restricted that day and put us in a great spot to watch Marine One and decoy copters bring the President in. So many details we never would have known about the city, memorials, and monuments. Absolutely the BEST

  Review

My husband and I have never been to Washington DC before and we were concerned because we heard that the city was “a walking city” and... read more we’re not good walkers. However, we had a wonderful time on our pedicab tour. Don was our friendly, very knowledgeable, flexible guide. He made it very personal for us and answered all our questions.

  Bob and Don were fantastic tour guides! Lots of background knowledge of DC which adds so much to the experience. Perfect for those with limited time to see the highlights... read more although it didn’t feel like a limited or rushed tour at all! Great for persons with limited mobility, too

  Overweight customers beware, make back up plans just in case your driver isn’t comfortable with the weight even if you planned ahead and provided your weight. Don’t be disappointed like... read more we were.

I wish the circumstances were different. I did extensive research and found some amazing favorable reviews for Nonpartisan Pedicab as the best for handicap and mobility issued folks to get around DC for great tours. I made the reservation with Robert a month before the scheduled trip. I made sure to let him know that we were “customers of size” and the driver would need to be comfortable hauling 2 persons with a combined weight of 600lbs plus 1 walker. He stated that would be no issue but would make note of it so the driver was aware. All aspects of the reservation and confirmation process were amazing. Robert was super communicative and very well informed.

We arrived at Federal Triangle metro station 30 mins prior to our agreed upon time for a twilight tour. Driver Bob came on time. As my 70 year old mobility challenged overweight mom was about to get on the pedicab, Bob immediately stated that this would not work. The weight was too much for him.

I called Robert and informed him and he stated that had never happened before but he’d try and find another driver. The closest driver who would be comfortable with the weight was 40 mins away. It was 55° with 8MPH winds and my 70 year old mother was not comfortable waiting for that long.

We got back on the metro line to head back to Arlington. As soon as we got on the line and was at the next stop, Robert called back saying someone was 5 minutes away. At that point my mother was too disappointed, on the subway, and just ready to get out of the cold.

I’m not sure what else we could have done differently. I was open about the weight, expressed the concern about being overweight and mobility challenged and Robert was confident and the reviews were fantastic. Looks like Bob just wasn’t feeling it. Thank goodness I didn’t pay anything upfront or provide card information.

The unfortunate thing is it was my 70 year old mothers first and only trip to DC and we were only here for 24 hours. The last part of our trip was this twilight pedicab tour. I wish Bob would have been vocal about not being comfortable about the weight and drive well during the day or even when I confirmed the trip 6 hours before that way I could have made other arrangements for a tour.

  Having never been to DC before this was a great way to see the city, memorials and landmarks. Our tour guide was Bob and he was very informative. He also... read more was enthusiastic which made it fun and educational. He also knew all the places to stop for the perfect photo shots Our four hour tour went by fast. We highly recommend Nonpartisan Pedicab. And when you book your tour ask for Bob. He’s the man!

  I highly recommend this pedicab tour, particularly if your time in the area is limited or if you are traveling with people who are mobility impaired. My elderly parents, sister,... read more and brother-in-law came for a visit and wanted to see the National Mall. There's no way my parents would have been able to walk around the National Mall, and getting on and off one of the tour buses would have been a challenge. They had no problem getting in and out of the pedicab. We had two pedicabs for five of us and were very comfortable. We got to see all the sites and Bob and Alex were amazing tour guides! They knew so many details and so much history. My family loved it, and I learned so much that I didn't know, even though I live in the area. Thanks for a great morning!

  We loved our tour! It's a perfect way to see all the monuments up close in just a few hours, especially for those with mobility issues. My 80 year old... read more grandmother was ecstatic, and we couldn't have done the 8+ mile trip on our own. Patrick was a great guide - he knew the backstories on all the monuments, added historical nuggets along the way, and was clearly experienced in getting around town. He was flexible with timing, length of tour, and was happy to pause when we wanted more time or to go up closer (some walking is required at most monuments, but with the cab you're able to save your energy for those parts). I recommend Patrick and Nonpartisan Pedicab to anyone who wants to see all the monuments up close with a knowledgeable guide in half a day!

  We had a fantastic moonlight monument tour with Fahad! We saw and learned so much during a 2.5 hour tour of all of the major monuments and some hidden gems.... read more Fahad was an encyclopedia of information and made the tour so much fun. It was such a unique way to see the monuments and memorials. My 14-year old had a blast and is still talking about everything she saw. Definitely the highlight of our entire trip!

You can visit DC with another tour but you will LOVE DC when you experience a pedicab tour with Fahad and Nonpartisan Pedicab. Thank you, Fahad for creating some wonderful family memories that will last a lifetime!

  My 91 year old mom was visiting me and had never been to DC. I texted with Robert, who suggested a very convenient pick-up spot. We had a 3... read more hour tour with Fahad. All I told him at the start was she has never been to DC and to please show whatever major monuments you can cover in 3 hours. We had lunch booked at noon.
Fahad’s tour was FANTASTIC. He was so knowledgeable, fun and considerate. It made such a difference being able to bike through some of the monuments and bike up very close to others where we could do a short walk to see the monument and view. He pointed out places with bathrooms and elevators along the way. He would even leave the seat up for us so that the seat didn’t get hot when we got back to the pedicab. Fahad pointed out the symbolism behind the design of the monuments and gave interesting mini-history lessons along the way.
This tour absolutely exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend this tour, especially for someone who cannot walk much. You will not regret booking a tour with nonpartisan pedicabs.

  This tour far exceeded our expectations. It was INCREDIBLE. Don was kind, and very informative. We learned along the way, at each stop....and... read more was perfectly timed. Never rushed, and never bored. We'd give six stars if possible. You won't regret hiring this company!

  Best decision I made today was to get this pedicab tour. I had my 60 year old aunt and 2 kids (6 and 2 years old). I knew we wouldn’t... read more be able to see much if we just walked especially with the heat so taking this pedicab tour was the best. We saw all the memorials and monuments that we wanted to see. We also had a very knowledgeable and kind tour guide in Read. It was overall a great 2 hours!

  This was absolutely the best tour my family has ever been on. We took my father (a Vietnam Veteran) on our own family version of Honor Flight. This... read more company provided us with the only way (in my opinion) to tour DC. They showed great respect to my father and gave us all priceless and lasting memories. Their attention to detail, accommodations, knowledge and friendliness are far above any other. Please, trust me when I say, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO TOUR DC!

  Do yourself a favor and book this pedicab tour! Our twilight mall tour is one my elementary school age daughter and I will always remember. Don't miss the opportunity to... read more relax, learn, be amazed and delighted. Our tour was right at 2 hours as requested, including West end monuments and tidal basin. Bob picked us up and dropped us off at our metro stations. If we did not have to get up early the next morning we would have asked to continue! We look forward to returning for another tour.

You will see many other types of tours (electric carts, Segways, bikes) this is by far the best mode. Bob our guide was so friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He knows the very best views and inside stories. We went at sunset and saw the monuments all lit up, stunningly gorgeous and not too crowded. Personalized tour, hop on and off if you want closer looks.

When booking Robert was fast and easy to confirm and ask questions.

Our nonpartisan pedicab tour experience represented the very best of vacation travel: easy, relaxing, engaging, fun,  something we will remember forever - and hope to do again. Thank you Bob and Nonpartisan pedicab!!! Your care is appreciated and makes a difference!

  Customizable, Unique, Educational, Delightful. Our leadership cohort of 14 came to DC for the program's capstone experience. Our schedule was tight, but Robert worked with us to ensure... read more we saw everything we wanted in the time we had. We used six pedicabs and each guide was terrific. Note: each pedicab guide is paid separately. As part of our program, at each one of the sites someone in our cohort presented on the history and significance of the memorial/monument. It was great to know that Robert and crew would fill in any blanks. We found getting around DC could be challenging in a tour bus...not so in a pedicab. We could get right up to the sites and just step out.

  Took the Nonpartisan Pedi cab twilight tour of the monuments which lasted 2 hours. I was worried as we had already taken a tour of the monuments during the day,... read more so felt it would be repetitive. I was wrong. Seeing the monuments lit up is a completely different experience. Loved MLK at night. Loved Lincoln at night. It was cooler, less crowded when we got out to walk around, and we even were lucky enough to see a ton of fireflies which, coming from California, have never seen. Robert did a great job maneuvering around closed streets and made sure we saw everything on our list. Pick up/drop off was at our hotel which was also a bonus. We had 2 adults to a pedicab with 1 holding 2 adults and a 14 year old. I would recommend limiting to 2 if possible as it is quite comfortable. Glad we ended our time in DC on this spectacular note.

  Robert was the best part of our DC visit by far. His knowledge is immense and he ties the whole monument experience together. Dates..people and the thinking behind the... read more memorials made the tour more than just seeing them. He drove us right up close and allowed us all the time needed to take in the various stops along the way.
He imparted a lot of information about recent events both political and socialgovt. buildings and govt agencies were also pointed out along the way. I would recommend end this tour for people with limited ability to walk long distances..Robert was fantastic!

  The Vietnam Wall, Lincoln Memorial , Korea Memorial , World War 2, Martin Luther King , Ehite House and the Nurse Memorial

  What an outstanding time. Robert is very knowledgeable and ensured the tour was to my liking. Loved!

  This was our first time to DC and only had 1 day there. Robert was friendly and had great knowledge that he shared. There is def. no way... read more we could have seen all we did without his service. I highly recommend this service!!

  Pedicab was an AMAZING experience! SO worth the $plurge - we will remember it forever and have already begun sharing things we learned. Being able to view this grand place... read more in the open (WITHOUT having to Walk!) is a treat. Robert was so kind and informative! We learned so much about the area, architecture and architects and truly saw hidden gems we would not have experienced without having done this wonderful tour. We HIGHLY recommend!

  Roberts knowledge on the area and history were vast and comprehensive. Robert made the experience more interesting by bringing old photos before many of the monument were erected. Robert explained... read more so much history, it was just an incredible experience.

  It is impossible to say what we enjoyed the most about our experience. Robert was an expert historian and gave us interesting facts about each stop along the mall. ... read more He gave us enough time at each stop to absorb it. The experience was even more enjoyable without the Covid restrictions!

  This was certainly the highlight of our vacation. Bob, our guide, was very knowledgeable about USA history and that enhanced our tour immensely. My elderly Mom says it’s one of... read more her best memories, she was able to converse with Bob and felt very comfortable and safe. We also highly recommend the moonlight tour since the monuments at night are simply breathtaking.

  This is a great way to see all of the major monuments in a short amount of time. It saves a lot of walking time and distance, which is perfect... read more for family members who can’t walk far. Robert was fun and engaging.

  While this is a great way for anyone to see the sites of DC, for people with mobility issues, this is the ONLY way to go. My partner has... read more trouble walking for more than short distances and the scale of DC is such that if we walked to every site we wanted to see, we would have only seen a fraction. And while we could have used a tour bus, the constant on and off and walking from the bus to the sites would not have been much better.
With a pedicab, you get up close without having to leave our seat (but you can if you want to). Besides allowing you to see more and from closer up, you get a personalized tour to the specific things you want to see and can skip sites or stay as long as you wish at others. Bob, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and share many facts I had not heard about on previous tours.
This was definitely the highlight of our DC trip. We highly recommend it.

  May 5, 2022, Nonpartisan Pedicab Tour
Prior to visiting Washington DC, I scheduled a Nonpartisan Pedicab tour. Our tour started from our Hotel, The District by Hilton. We had no... read more plan of where we wanted to start. We had a discussion of which memorials we wanted to see. Robert our tour guide kept our desires in mind and our tour was underway. My wife and I quickly realized Robert is extremely knowledgeable of not only the monuments but also the history of Washington itself. We were able to stop and walk about each Memorial visited. Robert gave us a detailed narration concerning what we were about to visit. Our tour traveled the length of the National Mall ending at the White House. I highly recommend this tour as it proved to be informative by a very gifted guide. Thank You Robert for a fantastic day!! Our meal at The Old Ebbitt Grill was delicious.

  Our evening tour with Robert was the highlight of a great trip to DC with our little ones (5 & 7). We booked a (same day) tour to see... read more the monuments at night. The tour far exceeded our expectations and ended up being our favorite part of the entire trip. Our kids had so much fun that they wanted to book another tour with Robert, but we ran out of time. We really enjoyed hearing the stories and the history behind the monuments and landmarks that we saw. Robert was super friendly, knowledgeable and patient, even when our kids were asking silly questions. We had a lot of fun and would highly recommend the tour with Robert.

  Robert was wonderful. I enjoyed the level of knowledge and how great it was to travel around the monuments with such an experienced guide. Loved all the tips and having... read more our own personal photographer to take our family photos. I really appreciated the ability to customize the tour based on our specific interests. Worth every penny! Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

  We had a great time on our tour with Robert! Lots of great sights, combined with Robert’s knowledge, made for a perfect evening outing. Kids really enjoyed as... read more well! Good communication and on time.

  Wonderful experience! Worked out perfectly for us. We actually were there to see the cherry blossoms and got to see way more than I would have able to... read more see by walking. He also took us to places I wouldn't have known to look. Robert was VERY easy to talk to - and that's saying a lot since I'm not very good a socializing. It was definitely worth the money to get a totally personalized experience rather than a canned speech from a bus tour. And we were right there in the midst of it the whole time. Can't recommend it enough. Oh yeah, Robert was also very helpful about changing our tour start time at the last minute when he found out rain would be coming in that afternoon. And when the rain did arrive right at the end, the little canopy did a great job of keeping us mostly dry.

  Robert was extremely helpful from the day I called to set the tour. I told him that I wanted my Dad to experience a specialized tour but recently its... read more been hard for him to walk long strides. He answered all of my questions and gave us a very special experience. My Dad, who loves history said that this was one of the best experiences of his life. The two of them had special dialogue and went over memorable events at the different monuments. I would 100% recommend and I will definitely look forward to working with Robert again. Thank you again for a great experience.

  Customized and personalized exactly to your wishes in touring the main sights of Washington, DC! Don't hesitant to book!! Worth the cost... absolutely!!!!
Robert was an excellent tour... read more guide for my daughter, son-in- law and granddaughter. They were visiting from SC, so this was the perfect gift to them. Robert was so accommodating along with being the perfect guide with a wealth of information. My husband and I look forward to booking a tour for ourselves. Thank you, Robert!!!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Nonpartisan Pedicabs in early April 2022. Robert and Bob took us on a tour of the monuments and memorials of the National Mall on... read more one day, and then Pennsylvania Avenue and Capitol Hill the next day. They were extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, courteous, and fun! Robert knew just where to capture some beautiful family photos and both had significant insight into the area. It was wonderful for my children and my older parents to be able to get off their feet and just enjoy the surroundings. We saw much more than we would have been able to had we done it any other way. Robert was also very accommodating with the weather forecast, being willing to reschedule for more optimal weather. He was very willing to answer any questions I had about DC and gave advice on what to see and how to get there. In my opinion Nonpartisan Pedicabs is the ultimate way to tour DC, and we were very happy to be able to enjoy their tours. Thank you Robert and Bob!

  This is the second time we grandparents have celebrated the big #10 with a grandchild using NPPC. Again we had a blast. A late afternoon tour of the... read more mall and we even saw some cherry blossoms. Don was the perfect guide. So knowledgeable! Our 10 yo loved that he was a HS History teacher! We all learned a lot! Thanks again!

  Wow. A dream of an experience. First of all, being unfamiliar with the city, the owner not only got back to me within minutes of my inquiry, but... read more also had tons of suggestions of where to park, or metro from, or eat. They were extremely flexible with our pick up location and we even shifted it the day of, I was able to text our guide, Read, to update him. We had two younger kids with us and it was comfy with one kid on a lap and one in the middle, and so so much fun. Read is a seasoned biker, guide, historian and resident and knew everything we asked him. He kept us on time and let us know about bathroom stops along the way. We went in the evening of the height of Cherry Blossom blooms and peak spring break traffic and he navigated the crowds so well, and we had plenty of time at each of the monuments, and a really fun wheeeeee downhill toward the end of the tour. My son was in heaven and kept saying how awesome it was and how lucky he felt. Read even took us back to our Metro station at the end. Would 100% do it again and recommend to anyone, mobility issues, young kids, or just a treat that gets you away from busy traffic and lets you glide under the trees. We already discussed coming back in the fall to see things in a different way. Gold stars all around.

  Celebrating mother’s 94th birthday during peak cherry blossom week. This was the perfect gift for parents to enjoy DC without the stress of crowds and mobility issues. Robert met... read more us in a convenient location for drop off and pick up and where we could park. He provided a personal tour of monuments and tidal basin. They loved it! Thank you.

  We had so much fun! Learned several new things, even though we've done monument tours before through other avenues. The pedicab was really comfy and we had a great time.... read more Our toddlers loved being out in the open. It was cold that day, but with blankets (provided by our driver), we had a blast! We had total control over the length of our tour, when we could get on/off, etc. Fahad was our guide and he had wonderful insights that we've never heard before despite frequent visits to DC. Highly recommend!

  We booked this tour to see the monuments in the evening lit up. Kevin was our tour guide and was amazing and knowledgeable. We planned the evening with... read more Kevin picking us up at our dinner location with drop off at our hotel. The communication with both Robert (the owner) and Kevin was amazing-very responsive. Kevin was at designated spot right on time. It worked out perfectly. This was a top notch tour and I would not hesitate to book again. It was the highlight of our trip to DC

  My mother is 71 and a survivor of a traumatic car accident from 2008. She has a lot of mobility issues as a long term result of the accident. She... read more is also a very proud American and has never visited our Nation’s Capital. My son is a sophomore at Catholic University in DC and his grandmother has never been well enough to visit. Her overall condition has improved, and I made our plans for the trip up. I really wanted her to get a DC tour, somehow, and started to research how someone handicapped could see the city. I stumbled upon Nonpartisan Pedicab and decided to give it a try. Boy, am I happy I did! I explained to Robert what I was looking for, and he set us up with the perfect tour! Bob was our guide and he was amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly, kind and engaging! In our two hours, we saw so much of the city and learned things we never even knew we needed to know!! My mother NEVER would have been able to see the landmarks and monuments up close like she did had we not booked this tour. It was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone that has mobility challenges, and honestly, to any able-bodied individuals as well. This tour was well worth the money. Best of all, my mother was the happiest I’ve seen her in a long time!

  This service was PERFECT for my 84-year-old father to finally experience Washington DC. There is absolutely no way he could have walked to all of the wonderful sites. ... read more Robert and his team are very accommodating, kind, and work really hard to provide a very personal experience. We had Don as our driver - a former history teacher - who provided lots of insight and really brought the history to life. My father and I loved every moment of it! This was money well spent and can't recommend them enough! Thank you Robert and Don for giving me such wonderful memories with my dad.

  What an amazing tour! Two couples, two pedi cabs. Read and Fahad (ask for them! The former a journalist by trade, the latter a defense department employee by day) knew... read more their history and Washington trivia. It was safe, and helped those of us of a certain age to get around quickly and easily. Doing it in the evening and watching the lights come on and illuminate our nation's capital was a real treat. It was worth every penny. I can't recommend this enough.

  Limited mobility members in your family group? This is the best way to see the National Mall! My grandpa and I fly from Seattle to visit my sister,... read more brother in law, and two kids under two. There was no way we could walk it. Kevin and Bob were outstanding guides and excellent bikers! While those two had the work out of a lifetime, we sat two adults to each cab and a kid each. Thankfully, one of the cabs had a top cover (this was incredibly helpful for the newborn). If you want top cover on your cab, definitely ask Robert when you are setting up your tours!

We were able to stop and taking pictures, go to the restroom, grab snacks, readjusted a crying child. This was so much better than trying to get all of us on a bus. We also were able to get so much closer with the cab than being in a vehicle or tour bus.

Price is pricey, yes, and it was worth it. When I'm on vacation, I don't want to hassle with the small stuff. Nonpartisan Pedicab took care of it and brought so much knowledge to the table! Loved this adventure!

  I never write reviews. Literally never. However, after our experience last night, I am compelled to do so.

I brought my very two enthusiastic and precocious daughters (ages 5.5... read more and 7) for their very first visit DC. I lived here for 6 years about 10 or so years ago and recalled that the first time I ever saw the monuments at night was pretty magical. Wanting to give my daughters that same perspective, I searched for a private night tour that wasn’t in a car but also wasn’t on foot (they’d be too tired that late past their normal bedtime) or a Segway (just not a great plan for a 5.5 and 7 year old), would keep them engaged, be age appropriate, and allow us to freedom to stay out longer or wrap up earlier based on how tired they were feeling. Not an easy thing to find.

I found Nonpartisan Pedicab and filled out the form online. Within minutes (literally) Robert wrote me back. We ended up texting and I told him exactly what I was looking for. He said “I know just the right guide for you!” And immediately put me in touch with Barry. I even had to rebook the tour for another day last minute and both Robert and Barry were so cool and accommodating.

From the minute we met up with Barry, he had my girls attention. He was engaging, hilarious, ridiculously smart and knowledgeable, accommodating, super kind and thoughtful (brought each of my kids a little gift! Seriously.)

He took us to see the usual gamut of monuments but punctuated those with unique stories and obscure facts. He also took us to the off the beaten path monuments that even I had never heard of after living here for 6 years.

Oh, and, he did all of that while PULLING A PEDICAB with the girls and me. He even made sure the girls were warm enough (he had a blanket and offered up his own jacket) and had water. AND he took all these candid photos of the girls and me all night long and offered to send me a link. How insanely thoughtful is that?

We were with him from 730pm until about 1030pm and let me just say that not once did my kids say they were bored or tired, not once did they complain, and not once did they get grumpy.

I’ve been on countless tours in countless citiessome have been just meh and some have been beyond incredibleso when I tell you that Barry was the BEST TOUR GUIDE I’ve had the privilege of meeting, you can be assured that I’ve got some pretty damn high tour guide standards.

Just book with Barry. Or listen to Robert’s recommendation. Seriously. They’re so awesome. My kids haven’t stopped talking about Barry all day.

Thank you guys! We could not possibly have loved this experience more. You made this really special for my girls and for me. Can’t wait for our next tour with you.

She... read more is also a very proud American and has never visited our Nation’s Capital. My son is a sophomore at Catholic University in DC and his grandmother has never been well enough to visit. Her overall condition has improved, and I made our plans for the trip up. I really wanted her to get a DC tour, somehow, and started to research how someone handicapped could see the city. I stumbled upon Nonpartisan Pedicab and decided to give it a try. Boy, am I happy I did! I explained to Robert what I was looking for, and he set us up with the perfect tour! Bob was our guide and he was amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly, kind and engaging! In our two hours, we saw so much of the city and learned things we never even knew we needed to know!! My mother NEVER would have been able to see the landmarks and monuments up close like she did had we not booked this tour. It was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone that has mobility challenges, and honestly, to any able-bodied individuals as well. This tour was well worth the money. Best of all, my mother was the happiest I’ve seen her in a long time!

  Limited mobility members in your family group? This is the best way to see the National Mall! My grandpa and I fly from Seattle to visit my sister,... read more brother in law, and two kids under two. There was no way we could walk it. Kevin and Bob were outstanding guides and excellent bikers! While those two had the work out of a lifetime, we sat two adults to each cab and a kid each. Thankfully, one of the cabs had a top cover (this was incredibly helpful for the newborn). If you want top cover on your cab, definitely ask Robert when you are setting up your tours! We were able to stop and taking pictures, go to the restroom, grab snacks, readjusted a crying child. This was so much better than trying to get all of us on a bus. We also were able to get so much closer with the cab than being in a vehicle or tour bus. Price is pricey, yes, and it was worth it. When I'm on vacation, I don't want to hassle with the small stuff. Nonpartisan Pedicab took care of it and brought so much knowledge to the table! Loved this adventure!

  I had decided last minute to try to get a pedicab tour of DC with my family (including our dog!). I woke up in the morning and called Nonpartisan Pedicab... read more since they had great reviews on the internet. Robert answered and helped walk me thru rates and options for the tours. We only had a short time frame for the tour and wanted to start within 2 hours. Robert jumped right on finding us a tour guide and called us back timely.

  Robert is really nice and very knowledgeable about Washington. We had a really great tour. Best decision I made.

  My favorite part of the tour was seeing all the monuments up close it was so awesome. Robert and Kevin our tour guides were so patient. They knew all about... read more the monuments and memorials they were fantastic. When we come back to visit we will surely use them again. Thanks guys!

  This was better than I could have hoped for. This tour company was a last minute find for myself and my son. While I was visiting my son in DC,... read more I really wanted to make the most of my last half day with him. Robert's customer service was exceptional. He took the time to explain everything and organize our tour to maximize the time we had available and to stay within our budget. Our tour guide, Fahad, was so incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable. He has such a thorough understanding of the city, how it was designed and he offered truly interesting facts about every memorial, building and monument we visited. He was so nice to our little dog, Paco, and he had such great rapport with my 19 year old son. So much so that I learned a thing, MY SON IS A HISTORY BUFF! I had no idea. In spending just two hours with Fahad, I saw a passion for American history in my son that I didn't know existed. Thank you for that, Fahad. We can't wait to visit again!

  The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and super friendly. My family said he this was hands down one of the best experiences they have had.

  I purchased a three-hour morning ride for my 78-year old mother and me. I thought this was a great activity to distance us from others during Covid-19 (no cramming on... read more tour buses) and for a somewhat disabled walker. We hit gold with Robert. In fact, we hired him for another 1.5 hour evening ride because he was so fabulous.

Robert was very prompt - he was about 15 minutes early for both pickups. He was highly flexible and came outside his normal area to get us at our hotel for the first pickup (wharf). At the start of the tour, he offered a clean, warm blanket if we were chilly and discussed whether we wanted the umbrella on the pedicab folded up or out. Throughout the tour, he was personable, professional, conversational, and full of great DC monument/building stories and trivia. But most importantly, he was a comfortable and peaceful person which was contagious for my mom and me on what could have been a stressful day (she was in DC for a medical appointment). He put us at ease and we escaped stress during our time with him, comfortably and quietly strolling along the beauty of the basin. Robert suggested an early tour to beat crowds. He suggested 8am, we went with 9am. If I did it over I would go earlier as it did start getting busier towards the noon hour. And mornings on the basin are just fabulous.

Our tour took us by a number of buildings, Congress, and all the monuments. Our night tour took us back to the pools and monuments, and added the White House, but a bit quicker since we had already stopped and talked about each in the morning. Robert was very flexible with how much time we spent at each place and encouraged me to leave my mom with him, safely, while I ventured to the top of the Lincoln at night.

The pedicab is comfortable for two unless you are tiny people. Robert is smaller but so strong - he pulled us around and had energy left. We are not small women. He was masked the entire time and we felt very safe in all manners. Communication setting up the tour was excellent and he was highly flexible with the tentativeness of our night tour. Payment was easy as he takes cash, Venmo, PayPal, and I think credit cards. The tour was significantly higher than a bus tour but the personalization, quietness, un-rushed experience, and relaxation of the stroll was 100% worth it. I tipped him 20% and felt he earned every bit of it.

Robert owns his pedicab and is a sole proprietor. I would highly recommend him. He has an embassy row tour that we will do next time we are in town. The experience was so fabulous, I’d do it again.

  While planning our first trip to DC, my adult son and I each selected a few activities that we wanted to experience. The evening monument tour with Robert was on... read more both of our lists. Honestly, it was just one of the best experiences either one of us has ever had. Robert was thoughtful, accommodating, extremely knowledgable about DC, and truly just a nice person. He helped us plan, altered our meeting location when we got lost behind DC fences, and answered all of our questions. We spent the remainder of our trip reflecting back to what we had learned from Robert. Don’t even think about a bus tour, a bike tour, a walking tour or a Segway tour. Treat yourself to a personalized tour that you’ll never forget!
