Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient. She guided us expertly through the crowds around each location. The blossoms were beautiful and we felt like we had enough time at each spot to take it all in. Thanks for a lovely time.

Diane_G

Guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was very manageable. The cherry blossoms had bloomed early so we’re not as spectacular but we were still able to see trees with blooms.

Robin_A

Our guide was lovely but young and inexperienced so when a bike needed to be fixed she was a little panicked. Also it was very busy and we should have been on bike lanes instead of weaving in and out of pedestrians. Dangerous.

Laurie_S

The cherry blossoms and other flowers were gorgeous! The bikes were a great way to see the monuments and scenery. Our guide Bianca was friendly, knowledgeable and organized!

Stephanie_J

Lots of walking the bike in this tour because pathways too busy. I wouldn’t recommend, I think walking would be better.

MelissaC5240

Be prepared and be patient to ride through the crowd. It is a cherry blossom viewing period, so big crowd is expected. If you don’t like the crowd, this tour is not for you. The tour guide was helpful, provided information for taking photos at important spots, and helped us throughout the ride. Overall I have enjoyed the ride and would recommend this tour to anyone who loves cycling while enjoying cherry blossoms at the same time.

Wendy_R

It was cold and rainy, but our guide did a great job navigating us around the puddles and monuments. It was a fun way to experience Washington's iconic cherry blossoms!

ELIZABETH_L

This tour should not have been an option during Cherry Blossom peak season. Biking the tidal basin is impossible with the massive crowds. The tour group was much too large (15+) for the guide to handle. She tried but she needed at least another person to help make sure the group was okay. We ended up losing two people in the tour…they ended up turning around and leaving. The tour was limited to the tidal basin. So if you wanted to see other known areas for cherry blossoms, it is not included. Maybe any other time of the year would have been okay. But not during cherry blossom season.

Nichole_E

It was too crowded to actually ride the bike and it felt unsafe- crowded with both people walking and our bike tour group had over 13 riders in it. It was also very cold and not being able to ride the bike, made it harder for us to warm up from the exercise. After 20 minutes of waddling with our bike between our legs, my daughter and I decided that we would not do the tour and returned our bikes. We were not given any refund.

With cherry blossoms come large crowds. You are shoulder to shoulder on the pathways, so you can imagine what biking through that feels like. A 10 am bike ride is a complete no-no. They should offer this to start at 7:30 or 8:00 am. That way you could enjoy the ride but not with throngs of people at 10 am. On top of that we had an inexperienced tour guide. Almost no content or descriptions were provided. She just kept biking on without looking back to see what was happening to the group. Many people dropped out of the ride along the way. On top of no descriptions, we also did not stop at key spots which would have resulted in great photos. All in all - either go super early on a bike to avoid crowds or walk. Biking at 10 am is dangerous with all the stopping and going and a tour guide who insists on biking through areas where signs clearly say you need to walk your bike.
