Great bike trail from D.C. to Mt. Vernon-well laid out and easy to follow the trail. Super relaxing to ride and is virtually flat. Bikes were in good shape and I cycle a lot on my own time. We picked up the bikes in Old Town Alexandria and headed out on our own from there. The bike hand off probably could have gone better-there was no repair kit and we had to ask to adjust the seats and ask for a tool. I asked what if we have a flat and the staff person gave me a cell phone number to call. The whole trip is almost all by the Potomac River and you can see Osprey nests and Osprey in the trees. There are not a lot of people on the trail either some runners and just 1-2 cyclists for the trip. We got to Mt. Vernon and toured and then had lunch at the Inn. I had been to Mt. Vernon before so we mainly walked the gardens. The Inn lunch was delicious and similar fare to the time period at Mt. Vernon. We took an Uber back and the bike company has the option to pick up the bikes at Mt. Vernon

We had a wonderful time and would recommend this! The bikes were in great shape and communication was great with the bike shop. The bicycle path was mostly flat and manageable for inexperienced riders. Took us about 2 hours to go the 10 miles (one-way) because we stopped a lot for photos. Very safe and lovely views of Potomac River!

From the beautiful, historic town of Alexandria, following level terrain along the Potomac river with some wooded sections with modest hills. This was a ride that we were able to do, even though my wife and I are aged 70, with histories of knee and hip surgeries, and our granddaughters ages 8 and 12. Ending with a tour of the home of George Washington and visit to the tomb of the first President and his wife. At the tomb, because of my military service, I was asked to read Washington's prayer to the nation and lead the visitors in the Pledge of Allegiance. Our granddaughters were asked to lay a wreath. Finally, slow boat ride back to Alexandria within steps of our car. A fantastic trip.
