Great tour to get a look at the major parts of DC. We are here during the government shut down so many of our tours are cancelled. Greg gave us great historical tidbits along the way. We did the e-bike option and I highly recommend doing that as I think we got to see more as the faster path has uphill parts that you probably wouldn’t do on a regular bike. Overall so glad we did it and would do it again! Thanks Greg!
