Every spring, Washington, DC's Tidal Basin fills with a sea of pink and white blossoms, and the Cherry Blossoms Bike Tour in Washington, DC is built around that exact moment. Running only during the National Cherry Blossom Festival from mid-March through mid-April, this guided 2-hour ride loops around the Tidal Basin, passing the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, and Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial along the way.

The pace stays easy and family-friendly, with a licensed guide narrating the history of the festival and stopping for photo opportunities at the best blossom views. Since the tour runs on a strict seasonal calendar, availability is limited to the exact weeks the blossoms are expected to peak, weather permitting.
