1.00This was a disaster so disappointed. I will never do this again. I bought a 2 day hop on hop off bus with tickets to the arc and the river cruise. No mention. Of July 14th being a holiday so everything was closed. Had to try and do everything in 1 day and didn't have time to do the arc or river cruise. Will ask for some money back
A comprehensive informative tour
