• It was okay, but I wouldn't buy a ticket again.

  The buses were clean and I liked the tour that you could listen to if you had jack headphones. What I didn't like was waiting at a stop and looking on the app to see how long it would be before the next bus would arrive and see the time go from 7 minutes to 50-60 minutes without them having ever gone by. Eventually I just walked where I needed to go because I had no idea if the bus was ever going to come. When I was on the bus I was nervous about getting off to see the sites because again, I didn't know when the next bus was actually going to show up I didn't want to be stuck by the Jefferson Memorial and waiting for the next bus for an hour to get me back around the basin. It made it really hard to plan my day and I ended up using the bus only a couple times on a three day pass. I also went on the sunset tour and was really not impressed. I would suggest other options as this one stopped briefly at the Iwo Jima statue and the Lincoln Memorial for about 10 minutes. Otherwise there was no stopping on the trip. You just had to take pictures and hope they weren't all blurry.

• Guides and bus excursions were great!

  Ms Gale was fantastic tour guide on the night tour. Christina was very good and knowledgeable on the Arlington tour! We learned a lot from both and thought it really added to the Big Bus Tour experience to have the guided tours. I already highly recommended to my family and highly recommend one of the tour options with guides (and without). We will and have used BB in other cities too. Very convenient and professional!

  We did the Arlington Walking tour, our guide was Allen McCabe and it was excellent! Allen was friendly, knowledgeable, full of interesting facts, and even had answers for our questions! It was lots of walking, but he went at a nice relaxed pace and the group was a good size. We highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get an a good overview tour of Arlington!

  We chose the 72 hour hop-on package with Night and Arlington included. We felt that this was a good value and would recommend it. Our walking tour of Arlington with Josh was 5 stars. Our night tour was also 5 stars. Our driver allowed us a chance to enter the Lincoln memorial after dark which was a treat. The only issue was the bus timings were often not spaced out. I did notice that sometimes they would pause to get back on schedule.

  Josh was so informative! I thoroughly enjoyed his tour. I could have walked the cemetery with him all day. I feel like he knows every inch of it. We had a great conversation about an unknown soldier that I was able to attend his burial in St. Louis.

• Bus not air conditioned in AUGUST?!

  If you're looking for hot, crowded and uncomfortable tours in the nation's capital, then this company is for you! Four of us purchased the DC/Arlington tour in August 2025. Temperature was 95 degrees but we figured we'd be on an air conditioned bus. Of the four buses, two had NO air conditioning, one had AC that sort of worked, and one was completely non-airconditioned. Initially there were not a lot of people on board, which made the ride tolerable. However, by the afternoon the routes were crowded. Our bus going back to the hotel was standing room only, despite signs saying that all passengers must be seated. We went upstairs to the top of the bus, which was a little better when the bus was in motion. When stopped in traffic, though, it was stifling. Eventually we gave up, got off and took an Uber back to our hotel. I was disappointed because one of our friends had never been to DC. i suggested the hop on hop off tour to give him a good overview of the city. What a mistake :(

• Great driving Delonte!

  We loved our driver Delonte he was very kind, helpful, and patient with everyone. Also very knowledgeable he was able to answer any questions we had. It was my understanding Delonte was a new driver but he performed better than a seasoned driver excellent job!
