Frommer's Favorite Experiences in Washington, D. Go by Old Town Trolley, by bike via a Bike and Roll excursion, or by boat aboard a Potomac Riverboat Company cruise; all three operations offer narrated day and nighttime tours. Or head the other direction, following the combination of street, sidewalk, and pathway that encircles the Tidal Basin and leads to the 3. For a really epic ride, follow the pathway past the Lincoln Memorial, cross the Arlington Memorial Bridge to the trail on the other side, and pedal the 19 miles to Mount Vernon.
