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.

  This was the best experience my mother and I had in Washington DC. Barry was phenomenal. His knowledge of the area was stunning and the smaller nuances pointed out were... read more something we wouldn't have learned about otherwise. We originally planned a two hour trip and...More

  We had a great time on our tour. It was the highlight of our trip! The personal nature of the tour was awesome. 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!

  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!

  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.

  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!

  Robert was outstanding, professional, knowledgeable, super sweet, and accommodating with my mom's mobility challenges. I highly recommend this personalized tour.

  Worth every penny. Will use in future when showing family and friends around. I have never experienced DC in this way and I have shown many people around. It was... read more easy and we learned so much. They were kind and responsive. The day was perfect and full of memories. My mom is not very mobile and it gave her the experience I wanted for her. But I would use in future just to show anyone the city.

  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!

  Robert gave us a great tour! He took me and my teenage son for a great afternoon around DC despite some rain. We were dry and saw all the sights... read more plus some extras that only a true insider would know about. Robert was very accommodating about our schedule, he is a great communicator, easy to deal with and super knowledgeable and friendly! Don’t miss this tour …

  Robert was an exceptional guide for my parents who are in their 80s. He answered all their questions in addition to providing excellent narrative along the way. He was timely... read more and very professional yet friendly. They really enjoyed the tour. I highly recommend booking a tour with Robert!! …

  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.

  Had a wonderful tour. My tour guide Bob was very friendly and gave a wonderful tour. I would definitely reco

  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!

  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!

  Robert picked us up at our hotel and gave us a terrific tour of the mall area. The breadth and depth of his knowledge of history is exceptional and he... read more was able to tie that into the details of the monuments that a casual observer would have missed. There is no way we could have come close to this experience on our own. His tour was the highlight of our visit to the area and we are so glad we found him. …

  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!

  Do yourself a favor: take Nonpartisan Pedicab for touring. Robert picked us up at our hotel, we toured Georgetown up to the National Cathedral. You'll be amazed by... read more his knowledge of each country as we view their embassy. It is obvious that Robert has traveled extensively and retains much of what he has read or seen. Because I had a foot injury, we decided this mode of transport was the best way to travel. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you Robert. …

  Robert was fantastic! This is our second time touring with him. We really appreciated how responsive he was in setting up our evening tour, and how thorough he was... read more in taking us to all the monuments we wanted to see. It was also fantastic that he is bilingual and could speak to us in Spanish as well as English! We really recommend him to anyone who wants personal attention, great stories and anecdotes, and a thorough tour of the city! Thanks Robert! …

  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!

  Our time with Robert today was fabulous! Interesting, efficient, friendly, cheerful, and just plain FUN! He got us closer to the monuments and I got to see everything on... read more my list! At my own pace! Little tidbits about all sorts of history behind the monuments...More

  My husband and I ran into the Nonpartisan Pedicab by chance on a random trip to DC. After walking around for over an hour in DC, I was whooped. We... read more had no idea what was open or what we should see. It was a very hot day and being 5 months pregnant, I was ready to be done walking around.

• Lots of Historical Background Knowledge on each monument.
• Provided visuals to aid the tour.
• Very knowledgeable of the area.
• Friendly and flexible to customer needs.

Our tour was great, we were able to get out and see the monuments and then hop back on the pedicab. Our tour wrapped up just as the rain started and then a down pour happened. We highly appreciated being dropped off at our vehicle. We really didn’t remember where we parked, but he was able to find our car based on some landmarks I vaguely remembered.

Great help and a great tour. I highly recommend.

  Best Tour Ever! Robert & Steph were so great! They arrived early for our tour and were very accommodating for all of our needs, especially since my father is... read more a disabled Vietnam Veteran and has to use a cane for most mobility. They made sure...More

  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 appreciate Robert for the tour of the monuments! Having 4 kids, the tour wouldn’t have happened otherwise due to the heat. We were able to see every sight that... read more we wanted, get some great pics, and also gained some knowledge. Thanks!

  Booking was super easy. Pickup was very punctual. The entire tour was very informative and extremely enjoyable. Robert allowed us to experience the tour at our own pace. We definitely... read more recommend this tour.

  Traveled with elderly mom and small dog, best way to tour the city. Recommend for those traveling with small dogs and persons who have limited movements. Thank you... read more Robert for a memorable day, we will cherish it always.

  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.

  Wow what an amazing, relaxing, different way to see D.C. Our guide, Don Clark, was so knowledgeable, easy-going and clearly understood his guests in a way that made this an... read more exceptional experience. Thank you Don!

  Worth every penny. Will use in future when showing family and friends around. I have never experienced DC in this way and I have shown many people around.

  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.

  We had an unavoidable issue with the cab, but Barry went out of his way to remedy the situation and ensure that we had a great experience. Take the tour.... read more You won't be disappointed.More

  Private tour for Cherry Blossoms!!! Bob was amazing. Very knowledgeable and great at getting us to locations for the best pictures!!!

  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 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.

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!

Our guide Bob Strout was fantastic! We spent four wonderful days with him seeing the monuments and museums. He’s very knowledgeable and so much fun.
He took us right up to the monuments and pushed my wheelchair through the museums.

Please consider hiring them whether your disabled or not.
You can’t have a better experience than we did.

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.

He was very knowledgeable and really set the tour up to please my 8 year old son. He offered to watch the dog while we toured the monuments and even took many pictures of our family for us. I cannot say enough good things about our experience and how amazing this company was! Exceeded our expectations, highly recommend! …

  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!

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.

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.

  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

  We've have done other tours in DC. This was the best way to see the monuments. We spent 3 hours touring around the city at our own pace. We didn't... read more have to stop at some of the things we've seen in the past. We spent more time at some of the places that we wanted to spend time at. It was nice not to have to be on a schedule like the busses. You can make the tour what you want. Robert was great when I called and asked about the tours. We were able to figure out a place to meet to start the tour. Robert was very knowledgeable and had great pictures of what some of the areas looked like prior to things being built. We would definitely recommend this tour. We had two medium size adults and one smaller adult. We did fit into the pedicab but it was a tight fit. …

  Unfortunately, I am not one to often write a well-deserved review; however, my experience with Nonpartisan Pedicab leaves me no choice! 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!

  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 had such a great time! It truly was the best way for our family to experience everything that the national mall had to offer at our pace. We were... read more able to get right up to most monuments or do a short walk which was very appreciated by my grandfather and toddler. Our tour guide also gave us a great history lesson of the area and of the monuments that we found very interesting. I would recommend this tour to anyone and will most likely do it again on our next visit to the capital.

  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.

  We had a blast on our pedicab tour. We need the tour at night. Our 14 year old loves climbing in Edison monument. This is a must if you want... read more to see the monuments at night.

  We had a wonderful day exploring all of Washington up close and personal on the Pedicab with Bob as our driver. Bob was knowledgeable and gave us so many details... read more we didn’t know about everything from history and stories to Architecture of the magnificent monuments of DC. The tour was scenic and the cart was comfortable. I was traveling with my 86 and 87 year old parents and we would not have been able to see all of these sites so close without Bob’s help and the Pedicab. I would highly recommend this tour!

  This was an excellent outdoor way to hit lots of monuments and sights in a quick 2 hour tour. Much easier for my father who wasn’t keen to walk them... read more all. 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

  Amazing 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.

  I 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!!
