Adventure DC Tricycle Tours gives once-in-a-lifetime private tours of Washington DC, transporting your family on tricycle for a completely customized tour, which is both entertaining and educating. You and your family will see all the Washington DC Monuments & Memorials, the White House as well as the Capitol at your own pace, with no bus-filled crowding or walking — and no waiting. 

Pick up: We can pick up anywhere on the National Mall, metro stops, most nearby hotels and restaurants. Depending on where we pick up, there is a bit of a trade-off between how close the pick up point is to the National Mall and how much time being transported before reaching the main attractions.

Start time: Although the tour can occur any time on your trip, we recommend scheduling your tour toward the start of your visit, if possible. Our tour gives a great overview which can prove quite useful as you explore the other areas in Washington. We can discuss hidden / less-well-known museums, recommendations on the best places to eat, amazing places to see which are not downtown. As to the start time of the tour, this is a matter of personal preference. We can start when you like, but routinely we start 10 am (or after breakfast), 2 pm (or after lunch) and 7 pm (or after dinner). We are a completely customized service, and we can accommodate your scheduling needs.

Tour Length: We recommend allocating between two (2) to four (4) hours. In most cases you will want to make stops to see the memorials, and the pedal time and narration of the complete loop around the National Mall, including the Tidal Basin, takes a tricycle about 1.25 to 1.5 hours.

Monuments and Memorials Tour: Our most popular tour is the Monuments and Memorials tour. We have done that tour 100+ different ways, depending on our guest's wishes. This is a tour of the entire National Mall on tricycle and includes the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, FDR Memorial, MLK Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean, Vietnam and WWII War Memorials, and the White House, as well as other memorials.  

Twilight / Night Tours: We conduct night tours, which usually include all the amazing lit-up sights (our favorites at night are The White House, World War II, Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt and the Capitol). This is the same tour as the Monuments & Memorials tour, but at night. 

Length and Pricing: Based on our experience we recommend the Full Tour for most families and groups. On a tricycle, 3.25 hours is usually enough time to really get a solid viewing of all the major monuments and memorials (including the White House and the Capitol) on the National Mall in Washington DC. The pedal time alone takes a tricycle about 1.5 hours, and most guests usually will want to make stops to see the memorials, take photos and look a little closer.

The current pricing is as follows (Pricing is per cab, for multiple people, not per person):

Narration: We give a narrated tour with detailed explanations of everything we pass. Sometimes our tours are limited to the area West of the Washington Monument (Memorials and the White House). Other times it also includes the Capitol and an overview of the museums that are East of the Washington Monument, and perhaps a ride along Pennsylvania Avenue, the Presidential Inauguration route. 

Mobility-Impaired Friendly: We're the best tour option for most people who have mobility issues, whether permanently or temporarily impaired. Our cabs can get people close, and we're experienced with many of the concerns people with mobility issues face. We know the challenge associated with individual monuments and memorials, and how to address those issues for our guests.

Capacity: Our cabs can fit up to three adults. Two small children usually fit in the space where one adult would sit. We can do tours of up to 90 individuals at the same time, with proper notice.

Inclement Weather: In addition to the ability to adjust tour times to fit the weather, we have an optional canopy, and even a more extensive 'bubble' that can protect guests from rain or elements. When the bubble is up, it gets quite toasty inside the cab, even when it's raining or snowing outside.

Cancellation: Currently we have no penalty for cancelling or postponing a tour. We like to be as flexible as we can for guests. So please be reassured that if you book a tour, you can cancel without consequence if need be.

Pets: We love dogs! Not only are we dog friendly — with dogs welcomed into our cabs — we actually (with your approval) stay with / pet / walk / water dogs while you check out non-dog friendly memorials (The Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial is dog friendly though)! Service dogs and dogs (total weight) under 70 lbs ride at no additional cost.

Length and Pricing: Based on our experience we recommend the Full Tour for most families and groups.
