Cherry Blossom Bike Tour

Highlights / General details

Our Cherry Blossom Bike Tour is a fantastic way to get up close and personal to these famous blossoms. Donated by Japan, the Cherry Blossom trees have graced the Tidal Basin and Potomac Waterfront for over 100 years. This casual bike ride around the blossoms will give you a great look at this yearly spectacle as well as the incredible history behind the trees and all the wonderful monuments and sites they surround. Tidal Basin The epicenter of Cherry Blossom heaven! Over 100 years ago, the Japanese donated dozens of Cherry Blossom Trees as a symbol of peace. Hear about how they arrived as well as the crazy history of this unique basin in DC. Jefferson Memorial The Iconic Monument at the edge of the Tidal Basin is flanked by Cherry Blossoms. Its construction was quite controversial because of the valuable trees that surround it today. Potomac Waterfront These shorelines have been dotted with Cherry Trees for years and this stretch of biking can make for some of the most beautiful riding anywhere. Lincoln Memorial A temple built on the edge of the Potomac River dedicated to the 16th President. It has been at the center of the Civil Rights movement for nearly a century.

Policies Please Note: We will always do everything in our power to ensure you have an amazing experience on our tours year-round. On this tour, three things we can't control are the weather, the crowds, and the blooming of the Cherry Blossoms. Our tours are scheduled during the National Cherry Blossom Festival, so there will likely be many visitors in the areas near the Blossoms. However, we will do our best to avoid the largest crowds and we will even venture off the bikes in certain areas to get up-close and personal. Also, please note that basic bike riding skills are a must even though this is a casual bike ride.
