Its a great way to see DC, just keep in mind you can do maybe 2 museums right in a day if you start early. But such a wonderful way of seeing the city!

It is really fun to get with friends and see the city listening to the recordings on top of the touristic bus. The employees were professionals and treated each customer in a pleasant way. Thanks for making our day memorable. We received a great suggestion due to some time constraints and it was worthed.
