Can you pick me up from Metro or at my Hotel?
Yes and Yes. We simply need to coordinate time and location. I can pick you up anywhere within city limits, but downtown works best.
Can you pick me up from the airport?
No, but there is a Metro Rail stop that picks up at Reagan National. I can pick you up after you cross the river into D.C. If you land at Dulles, simply take a taxi/shuttle to get to D.C. If you land at BWI, simply take a taxi or an Amtrak train to Union Station. We can rendez-vous then
Is there a weight limit?
If the total passenger weight is over 500lbs, we simply go slower.
What if it is cold outside?
With a cover over your head and a blanket over your legs, most people stay toasty. We can always stop for a warm beverage, or I can bring a thermos filled with your pick of libation!
How is this different from the other pedicab companies?
I lead every tour and customize each ride with your needs in mind. Unlike others, I own my own pedicab, I own this business, I have a permit issued by the National Park Service, and I am a licensed tour guide in Washington, D.C.
Can you make reservations and/or recommendations for dining?
Yes! I not only can make recommendations, but I can also make reservations for you and drop you off.
I want to give a tour as a gift, how do I do that?
Simply fill out a Reservations request and specify which tour and the dates desired. Provide some specifics in the comments field and I will respond to you ASAP. For payment I can email you an electronic invoice to pay via credit card.
Can I hire your services for a whole day?
Absolutely! We can work out a pick-up/drop-off schedule or whatever you have in mind. There is always plenty to do and see in D.C.!
