3.00It took a long time to load and unload people at the stops. The Arlington National Cemetery you are unable to see the major things without getting off and walking to the sites. And then you have to wait for the next shuttle (20 min or so). It took forever. We had several different drivers because of the process, with some beginning much better than others. The DC City tour (which was part of the same ticket) was good. Our last driver was awesome.

4.00Loved the trolley, roof to block sun, huge open windows for breeze, padded seats for comfort, drivers were very informative with narrated information vs other tours with taped recordings that you can’t hear
No thanks

3.00We chose this tour to do the cherry blossoms. They closed a few of the stops and didn't disclose this ahead of time. The bus drivers were all very nice but the people taking tickets at the start were aggressive. I wouldn't do this tour again.

1.00Once we jumped off at stop 3 we were told the next trolley will continue to take us to next stops. It took us back to union station. Due to the Pride Parade street shut down we kept getting taken back to union station. The drivers were amazing and friendly!!

5.00they should know what they want to see to know where to stop. 1 day is not enough, so do your homework.
Could have been better

3.00The wait time for the trolleys can be long. We had to walk about 1/4 mile to another stop as the one we wanted (1st one) was not available at the time. Then we waited for about 45 minutes to an hour for a trolley as 2 full ones stopped by. The planning by the part of the company itself was not sufficient
