DC has so much rich history, we love visiting DC. We were there just recently a couple of weeks ago, taking in the views - it never gets old. Thanks again for the support, we really appreciate it!
Another wonderful tour guys! Our fave's would be the amazing library, the botanical garden and the white house. Would love to visit this place when we visit USA someday.

We feel so lucky to live close to DC! We recently went to Washington, DC and visited all of the places MLK went to for the March on Washington. But we’ve never explored the city on bike! This looks like fun!
Its really a great way to see DC. So jealous that you live so close to DC, we love visiting Washington DC, so many things to see there. Thanks for watching! We also did a video on Washington DC's best bike rides.
@@scottsdaletravelchick Yes! There is so much to see and do in DC! We love it!
That was amazing

Hi Tenley,
Thank you so much for ur nice comment.
Please keep watching us - Munich and Galapagos videos are coming up next!
What an amazing vlog! You are providing us a lot of information. ❤️ This video is very enjoyable. I learned a lot from you! I’ve been to Washington DC once when I went with my daughter for her field trip but didn’t get the chance to go around that much. Thank you for the tour!
Hi Lynley,
Thank you so much for the kind comments. Makes our hard work on producing videos like these worth it when we get comments like yours!
Keep ‘em coming, please! 😁
@@scottsdaletravelchick no problem. I really appreciate this video! It’s presented very well 😇
Fun fact about the FDR memorial, he actually has two memorials. The other is behind the national archives
Wonderful tour
Always traveling in you guys 😅
Hello my friend 😉👋🏻
Nature was very beautiful🤩
Washington is very beautiful, I had a lot of fun❤🙏🏻❤
Thanks for visiting
This is a great video STC! But just curious, are there bike racks outside of the locations that you can go inside of?
Hi there Fletcher.
All the bikes (especially non city bikes) have locks w them. So, you can simply lock them up in any out of the way place.
For the larger museums, etc, they will have dedicated bike racks.
15:31 two of my faves
Here’s also a fun thing that I like to do when I’m in DC, find all the hidden references to the Bible that you can the city is literally follow. For instance there’s actually a carving of Moses on the back of the supreme court building
Awesome guide! Do you happen to have a link to the Google bike route you show in the video?
I checked w my husband & he just did it himself focused on the key places to visit along the route.
THANK YOU,,,,,,,NICE AND EXPLAINED VIDEO!! WHERE DID YOU GET THIS ORANGE BIKE?HOW MUCH COST A DAY? PLEASE
Hi There
The orange bikes are from the Canopy Hotel (see our review). All canopy hotels offer bikes like these free of charge.
Wonderful tour. Personally, I found the mood and larger than life-size figures of the Korean War Memorial quite moving.
Hi DK TK. Thank you for the nice feedback.
Check out our Statue of Liberty tour for something else that’s ‘larger than life’!
Liked & shared. Please tell me which metro parking is the closest to the end of your mapped trail? Thank you.
Hi there.
You can search transit map on google to see all the stations. Closest on the West side is Smithsonian station and on the East side is Capital South.
Thanks! Very informative 👍
How do you park your bikes when you want to visit museums? Do rental store provide bike locks? 🙏
Hi Elizabeth.
Yes, any rental bikes would include locks and the city bike system has various kiosk locations around the area to relock up your bike. Then you can ‘check it out’ again once you’re ready to go.
@@scottsdaletravelchick thanks for your help!
Hi, I found your video very informative. We are actually going to Washington this June, I was just wondering where do you park the bike when you want to visit all those memorials? Any inputs would be appreciated. Thanks
They have bike racks in front of the museums & monuments
A lot of people use the city bikes to get around as well. Enjoy your time on DC
If you enjoy biking we did a separate videos on biking DC called Washington DC’s Best Bike Rides on our channel.
I missed a reference to the Constitution Garden, otherwise a very nice, informative video.
Warm greetings from Germany
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 🙏
Very nice vlog! Where do you park the bike if you decided to go inside the building?
Lots of bike racks everywhere
We rented bikes from hotel which came with bike locks.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I have a question which you might've answered it in the video and I didn't notice it. I am curious how/where do you park your bike when you are going into museums or buildings?
Hi Awn
I expect most rental bikes, either from a hotel or rental shop, include a bike lock. There are bike racks around or you can really just lock them anywhere they are out of the way.
For the DC bike rental, you should lock them back up at a nearby kiosk (they have an app w real time map of all locations).
@@scottsdaletravelchick thank you
❤
Me and my husband will go to DC this Coming weekend. Where did you rent the bike?
Our bikes came from our hotel but if your hotel does not offer bikes, you can use the DC bike share system or Bike & Roll rental company - as noted in the video.
@@scottsdaletravelchick thank you so much. You’re Vlogs helps a lot.
What do you do with the bikes when you go in the museums? Did you have to lock it up somewhere?
We stayed at the canopy hotel & they gave us bike locks. Kinda nice the hotel offers free bikes. We did a hotel review on that as well on our channel
Lots of bike racks nearby to lock up your bike
@@scottsdaletravelchick Thank you so much for the information! Looks like I might have to invest in some bike locks for our upcoming trip.
Where can I rent bikes if traveling with kids?
Is the trolley also a good idea? And you did not mention WW1 memorial? Is there one for the civil war?
Is the Capital still fenced off?
No, not any more.
When was video taken?
Some in Nov 2020 and some in June 2021.
11:12 wouldn't be surprised
Do you have a place to park and secure the bike you rent while going inside the buildings? I'm afraid it will be stolen!
There are quite a few bike racks along the mall area & the bikes we used we got from the hotel & they supplied a bike lock
Do any of the capitol rental bikes include child seats by chance?
Hi Toni
I don’t think so. 😕
Not roit was an incertion!
Did you know the Capitol’s entire infrastructure is getting redone because of the racists on Jan 6?
That was such a sad time for our country. We were there the year before and got to ride bikes up to the capital steps and this time felt like it was a prison with all the fencing around it. So Sad!!! Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it.
Pretty irresponsible to recommend NOT visiting the holocaust museum. Life is full of depressing things, but if we avoid learning about them we’re doomed to repeat them. A warning about the holocaust museum would be appropriate, but recommending avoiding it is inappropriate.
