I brought my grandmother for her first trip to the US earlier the month, we were staying in NYC but she had long-desired visiting Washington DC and so we booked a hotel there for one night. Being that she is of limited mobility and uses a wheelchair, we searched online for accessible tours of the city and came across Nonpartisan Pedicab, which possesses perhaps the best set of online customer reviews I have ever witnessed. Our first commendation goes to Robert himself -- he is simply an amazing tour guide. He picked us up at 10am from our hotel (which was slightly out of the city centre) and made no issue of us being a few minutes late. We were made to feel instantly at ease with Robert, who attached my grandmothers wheelchair to his pedicab, who is an extremely affable individual and told us a bit about himself and took interest in us, before beginning the trip to the various monuments in DC. We were particularly struck by Robert's historical knowledge of the city, and ability to answer our questions on the sights in front of us as well as more general questions about the American political system. He brought a number of images of the sights we saw at various stages in their history, and the information we received about the city in years gone by surely exceeded that one would receive from an open-top tour bus or group cycle tour. We could pose our own individual questions, and take diversions en route as they suited us. Robert was more than happy to accommodate. Most striking, however, was the personal touches Robert gave to make sure my grandmother was comfortable. She did not get out of the pedicab and into the wheelchair at every stop; and when she didn't Robert ensured she was in shade on an otherwise very hot day, whilst I went and took pictures for her. At one point, he noticed her arm was burning in the sun and gave her some sunscreen he had packed with him. The tour was thoroughly enjoyable, extremely comfortable and remarkably informative and is the standout memory of our 10-day trip to the US. I cannot commend this man's services highly enough.

We recently had the absolute pleasure of taking a private tour with Robert from Nonpartisan Pedicab, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment the tour began, Robert impressed us with his depth of knowledge, passion for history, and engaging storytelling. He brought Washington, DC to life in a way we never could have imagined. Touring the monuments and memorials on our own would never have compared to the experience we had with Robert. He shared fascinating facts, behind-the-scenes stories, and thoughtful insights that gave each landmark new meaning. He tailored the tour to our pace and interests, making it feel personal, relaxed, and incredibly informative. And one of the best parts? Robert is incredibly dog-friendly! He treated our fur baby like part of the family, making sure she was comfortable and including her in the experience every step of the way. It meant the world to us as pet parents. Not only is Robert a walking encyclopedia of DC history, but he's also incredibly kind, professional, and fun to spend time with. This tour was the highlight of our trip and an experience we'll be talking about for years. you're considering seeing the nation's capital, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Robert at Nonpartisan Pedicab. He's simply awesome, and you won't regret it! read more

I worked in DC for over a decade and did very little of the tourist stuff, so my wife and I decided to come down to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms and spend a few days sightseeing. We're fortunate to live about a hour and a half away from this wonderful place. My wife is disabled and can only walk short distances and uses either a scooter or wheelchair to get around so finding a tour that can accommodate her is very difficult. Even though some of the tour busses have lifts, it's a major evolution to get her on and off the bus since she can't do the stairs. After researching online, I discovered Nonpartisan Pedicabs and this was the best tour ever. Robert our tour guide was absolutely amazing, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of DC. He could not have been more accommodating of my wife and helping her on and off the pedicab as we toured around and her travel wheelchair fit perfectly on the pedicab. We did a four hour tour around all of the monuments, tidal basin and up through the Smithsonian Museums to the capital and back down Pennsylvania Ave. to our hotel. If you know of anyone who has mobility issues, this is the tour to take. Even is you're able bodied, this tour is superior to anything else you can go on. When your in DC, please contact them, you won't be disappointed. read more

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 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! read more

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 a disabled Vietnam Veteran and has to use a cane for most mobility. They made sure to get us as close as possible to all the stops and if he couldn't walk, then they kept him company! As we walked the Vietnam Wall Memorial, Robert even left the pedicab and came to find my father to make sure he was OK and see if he needed anything! As far as the tour, it's worth every penny! Robert & Steph's knowledge of the monuments & historical places/points was top notch, even using pictures from those time periods to help illustrate the history of the different historical stops! We had no idea that the reflecting pool used to be a swamp, literally, lol! After researching other tour options and reading review, Nonpartisanship Pedicab tours is the best options. So if you want a personal experience that feels like it's catered to your every need, along with great conversations; Nonpartisanship Pedicab tours is the only tour you need to take! Thanks to Robert & Steph for this great experience! You guys went above & beyond to make the tour great! read more

This was the highlight of our trip! Robert was so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to my family. The 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids) were all able to comfortably ride in the pedicab and see Washington DC on the Monuments and Memorials tour during the Cherry Blossom! He shared a lot of his knowledge and history of the monuments and memorials as well as DC in general. We were able to hop on and off when we wanted to and do the tour at our own pace. Robert was also very flexible and accommodating on where to pick us up (Smithsonian Metro Station) to start the tour and drop us off (Ford's Theatre) to end the tour. He also went above and beyond and picked us up tickets to Ford's Theatre since we unfamiliar with the area and weren't able to go get them ourselves first thing in the morning as they're distributed on a first come basis. When the tour ended, the kids didn't want to get off the pedicab. Also, Barry was very nice and helpful when I called to inquire about the pedicab tour. I had many questions and he very nicely and patiently answered all of them. Again, definitely the highlight of our trip to DC, and I'd highly recommend Robert and Nonpartisan Pedicab. read more

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 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! read more

This was better than I could have hoped for. This tour company was a last minute find for myself and my son. While I was visiting my son in DC, I really wanted to make the most of my last half day with him. Robert's customer service was exceptional. He took the time to explain everything and organize our tour to maximize the time we had available and to stay within our budget. Our tour guide, Fahad, was so incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable. He has such a thorough understanding of the city, how it was designed and he offered truly interesting facts about every memorial, building and monument we visited. He was so nice to our little dog, Paco, and he had such great rapport with my 19 year old son. So much so that I learned a thing, MY SON IS A HISTORY BUFF! I had no idea. In spending just two hours with Fahad, I saw a passion for American history in my son that I didn't know existed. Thank you for that, Fahad. We can't wait to visit again! read more

Robert rocks! His tour was by far the best DC experience of our vacation! Robert's tour was fun, accommodating, and he is very knowledgeable of all the memorials, monuments, the White House, museums, and other DC federal buildings we toured. There were 3 of us adults on our tour with Robert, along with my sister's wheelchair. He took care of everything! I loved that we could get on and off the tour at any point of interest we wanted. Robert even helped my mom look up a friend's father who died overseas in WW11 in a database at the memorial that I didn't even know existed. My mother is 88 and would have not been able to walk and see and do all that we accomplished with Robert. Neither my sister or mom had been to DC before and were beyond thrilled to see it all up close and personal! I appreciate more than words can express Robert's kindness shown to us and his enthusiasm for his job and the history and knowledge he shared with us! read more

From start to finish, Robert was a gem. I traveled to DC with my two elderly parents, who have mobility issues, so pedi-cab was a logical choice for them to see the monuments and sights of DC. Robert called and texted a confirmation. At the last minute, we had an addition to our group. He arranged a second pedi-cab for us with two-days notice. It looked like rain, and I was worried but these seasoned tour guides were prepared with canopies and covers, so we didn't miss out. Alex and Robert were knowledgeable and professional. There were some route closures because of Memorial Day festivities, so the tour ran a little long. Robert and Alex both said there would be no additional charge! If you want a wonderful, up-close tour book with the Nonpartisan Pedicab! Excellent service from start to finish. Thanks Robert and Alex, you made our visit feel special and personalized. I'll recommend you to everyone. read more

Robert was a fantastic tour guide! He's incredibly friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. My husband and I had only one full day to spend in DC so we took the morning and early afternoon for museums and then did an afternoon tour. Robert stops by each one so you can hop off as you please. We walked around the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials along the way and just stopped by the rest. Total time for us was right at two hours, and it was a busy Saturday, lots of traffic. He not only shares facts and history of the monuments, he can tell you what each building is as you pass them on the mall, and he can answer other DC questions you may have. The greatest part is we didn't just get pictures to check off our list, we truly enjoyed what we learned which made our trip so much more memorable. Robert was willing to meet us and drop us off wherever was convenient for us. Definitely recommend. Thanks, Robert!! read more

My husband and I had 2 days in D.C. and wanted to see everything we could in the best possible way! I am a full time wheelchair user and was frustrated with the accessible tours advertised on the internet - UNTIL I found Nonpartisan Pedicab! Alex met us at Union Station - my chair fit perfectly - and off we went on the most enjoyable and educational 3 1/2 tour of the monuments, memorials, museums and office buildings about the National Mall! We learned so much - we saw so much - we got out when we wanted to get a little closer and even time, Alex unloaded/loaded my chair and provided the best narrative as he pedaled - he wasn't even breathing heavy as he navigated the hills and turns through the streets of D.C. This is the ONLY way to see D.C. and I will be recommending Nonpartisan Pedicab to everyone I know who will be visiting the in Washington D.C. Thanks Alex for the great time! read more

I had decided last minute to try to get a pedicab tour of DC with my family (including our dog!). I woke up in the morning and called Nonpartisan Pedicab since they had great reviews on the internet. Robert answered and helped walk me thru rates and options for the tours. We only had a short time frame for the tour and wanted to start within 2 hours. Robert jumped right on finding us a tour guide and called us back timely. He found us a guide and set up a place we would be able to park our car and meet our guide. Our guide Barry was right on time and super friendly. 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! read more

Robert provided exceptional service. From his response time in getting back to me when I made my reservation. He accommodated me an my Mother who is 77yrs old on very short notice (the day before) I was concerned she wouldn't be able to get up in the PediCab due to her mobility issues. He assured me he could accommodate her and he did. He arrived at our meet up location early and secured parking for us. With professional, and very friendly service. Robert's knowledge and history regarding Not just the Monuments and Memorials, but all about Washington DC made our experience much more than we expected.March 27, 2021 was the perfect day to see the Cherry Blossoms. I try to go every year, but this was by far was the best year ever because I got to share it with Mom who can't do the walking, and Robert who enhanced our experience 100fold. I highly recommend NONPARTISAN PEDICAB!!!! read more

My 88 and 89-year old grandparents were visiting from Oklahoma and Robert's pedicab tour was the perfect way for them to experience D.C.'s highlights. My spouse and I rented Capital Bikeshare bikes and were able to easily follow along behind and listen to the historical tidbits Robert shared. His tour doesn't overwhelm you with historical facts, but provides lesser-known stories that are informative and entertaining. Most of the information was new to us too, even as locals! Robert was also a good photographer to boot, offering to take photos and doing quick edits on the iPhone to enhance the quality. Finally, and most importantly, he was flexible, kind and patient with my grandparents, which I appreciated. In closing, we highly recommend Nonpartisan Pedicab for anyone with mobility issues or for folks who prefer a less physically-demanding way to do sight-seeing in D.C. read more

My family had an amazing time on our monuments tour with Robert. This was by far the best thing we did on our trip. It was so nice to have the personal attention of a private tour guide and be able to pick what your family wants to do. The four of us (myself, my husband and our 8- and 6-year-olds) fit very comfortably in the pedicab and the slower ride (vs a large tour bus) was great to really be able to take in all of the sights and the environment. Robert was incredibly knowledgeable and provided interesting historical facts along the way. He customized the tour to make it more child-friendly for our family which was great. Our children can't stop talking about how much they loved it! They even remember a lot of the historical information he gave us! When we come back to DC, we'll definitely do another tour with Robert! read more

This is more of a thank you letter than a review. I want to thank Robert for the amazing tour of DC. His knowledge, insight, and accompanying visual aids added depth and interest to my tour. I was able to take my time at each stop without the worry of "when the bus will be back and is it the accessible bus". His kindness and helpfulness, really going above and beyond, made this trip so very memorable. I doubt I could have managed to aid my friend with her mobility (my own being iffy at best) without his help. He claims not to be a photographer but his pics of us at the monuments are really some of the best that I have ever seen. Great pictures are a bonus on any trip. Robert gave me one of the best experiences this seasoned traveler has ever had. Besides traveling by pedicab is fun! read more

While planning our first trip to DC, my adult son and I each selected several activities that we wanted to experience. The evening monument tour with Robert was on both of our lists, and we're so glad that we happened on reviews that prompted us to book. Honestly, it was one of the best experiences either one of us has ever had. Robert was thoughtful, accommodating, extremely knowledgable about DC, and truly just a nice person. He helped us plan, altered our meeting location when we got lost behind DC fences, and answered all of our questions. We spent the remainder of our trip reflecting back on what we had learned from Robert. Don't even think about a bus tour, a bike tour, a jeep tour, a walking tour or a Segway tour, treat yourself to a tour you'll never forget! read 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 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! read more
