My son and I took a recent trip to DC for him to see the sights for the first time. He’s 11 and loved the pedicabs in our trip to... read more NYC a few years ago, so when I saw these tours in DC, it was a no brainer.
I booked a tour of monuments at night for our first night there and this is by far my favorite memory of the trip. It was a PERFECT way for us to start our trip and my only regret is that I didn’t reserve another ride on our last night there. The monuments are beautiful as the sun is setting ... you’re able to see everything on the list without the exhaustion of walking ... and our guide Bob was amazing and extremely knowledgeable in all sorts of interesting facts.
If there is only one thing you can do in DC, this is it! More

Our guides were... read more very personable and knowledgeable and gave us insights about the area and monuments that we’d never heard before. The ability to ride right up to the monuments allowed us to see more in less time. This was an educational, fun, and unique way to see DC. Both my wife and I along with our two teenage boys loved it! I also recommended this tour to a co-worker when she visited DC several months later and she came back just raving about how it was the highlight of their trip as well. I highly recommend this tour!

Did the evening monument tour. Would absolutely do this again. Responsive, punctual , professional and personable. A real winner!
7/22/2019granta614Amazing experience and service! My mom had always wanted to tour the mall but she can’t walk far due to hip problems. If you’ve been to the DC mall you... read more know how big the area is. NonPartisanPedicab was 100% the way to go. Our tour guide, Read, picked us up directly in front of the parking garage we found and took us on a 2 hour tour of the mall. It was obvious that Read has been doing this a long time and loves his job. Extremely knowledgeable, he will give you all the history you want. He also knows where everything is so if you need to stop for a bathroom break or grab a bite, Read knows all the best locations. I can’t imagine there’s a better way to tour DC. We cut our trip short due to boat tour reservations but we will use NonPartisanPedicab again and for a longer trip. I recommend it 100% for your next tour of DC.

The combination of easy access to all the national monuments, coupled with Rob's extensive knowledge of history, made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and a "must-do" for anyone visiting the city. He truly goes above and beyond.

Access to each monument is essential to get the full picture of what they are trying to achieve as explained by Robert. He is knowledgeable, witty and humorous. The 2 hours flashed by with a constant stream of information and banter from Robert. We started in the city centre and did a loop out as far as the Lincoln Memorial stopping at 4 others in the 2 hours. There was enough time to walk in / around each area .
Only suggestion from my father was that Robert could have a small mic / speaker system when near any areas of traffic. My dad couldn’t always catch what was being explained.
Otherwise it’s fantastic and we were deposited back at our hotel bang on time for dinner. Thanks

I live a few hours out of the... read more DC area and wanted to take my mother to Washington for a special 80th birthday experience. The highlight of our trip was going to be the Nonpartisan Pedicab tour. My son lives in the area and this seemed like a perfect way for her to enjoy a comfortable tour of the memorials and not be in a car (walking was not an option). Barry from Nonpartisan helped me with all of the trip details. We were staying for a weekend and he not only organized the tour with a GREAT deal of patience but also helped with suggestions about where to stay, where to park, dining near the tour, etc.
Due to the many changes that I kept making, Barry even prepaid for garage parking as I was having problems logging onto the site. My mom never did get to take the tour. She felt ill the day we were scheduled and we ended up driving home. As i explained all of this to Barry, he was incredibly compassionate and understanding. There was no charge for the tour, however, the reason I was so impressed was not the ease at which he let us cancel last minute. It was because of the time and care that he extended to ensure a very special experience. I'm sorry that we didn't get to meet Barry and sorry that we didn't get to experience the tour. I am also incredibly impressed by the experience that I had trying to!!! Thank you Barry and thank you Nonpartisan Pedicab. You are top notch!

4/24/2019Irenie19I was looking for a tour that would accommodate my 81 year old mother who had major heart surgery a year ago. We were passing through DC on our way... read more to a wedding in Virginia and I wanted to show my kids the sights. My mom did not want to go to DC whatsoever and even said she’s been there 5 times why are we going?! I promised to make it painless for her and Robert delivered!
I admit i contacted other companies but Robert was the most responsive. He was very personable even by email. I was reluctant to take a night tour but that’s what worked with our schedule. So glad we did it was gorgeous! Robert picked us up from The Hamilton restaurant. We got two pedicabs for the 5 of us and Barry was also friendly. They worked so hard and I did not realize how stinking hot it is in DC even with the sun setting. There is no way we could have managed walking around. Teenage kids a cranky grandma—was not happening. Robert was such a hit. I didn’t realize he spoke spanish or chinese btw!! When my mom couldn’t walk up the Lincoln memorial he sat with her and asked her questions about herself to keep her busy so the kids, my hubby and I could roam about freely. Priceless!! I really could go on and on. I also noticed that the people on the trolley tours looked at us and waved at us often like we were the attraction! lol The kids on the bus sometimes gave us the saddest looks as they whizzed past us and the sights like they wish they were us.
I mention my mom because we are home now and she said to me I had the best time in DC the tour she absolutely loved it and it was her favorite part of her trip. Like I said she did not want to go to D.C. having been there countless times before but she said this tour was the highlight of any of her times there! My kids too loved every minute. These guys are worth every penny. Tour with them picky senior and teenagers approved!!
