The bus driver was 15 minutes late, 1/4 through the tour the sound stopped working so no description of where we were or what we were seeing and the driver skipped our ONLY stop at the Lincoln Memorial. I need a refund!

It was good. It would be nice if staff could encourage singles to double up in seats so others could have opp to sit with their party outside. We ended up inside due to singles ‘hogging’ two seats. Overall good but you can’t see everything from inside 😖

It was terrible bus drive. First they made us sit on a bus. Then asked to change the bus. The seat we got was the worst. Didn’t get to see anything properly. Would never recommend this to anyone.
Good night time outing

Really enjoyed seeing DC and the monuments lit up at night. Gave a different view of things for sure. Guide was knowledgeable and informative. I’d recommend this tour and would do it again.
