Jose and David provided a great tour of Washington D.C. for my family and I (Wife and two daughters, 15yrs and 12yrs) The coach journey was smooth, the coach had A.C. and a restroom, and the stops were reasonable and never felt rushed. Visited everything as advised and even had a nice surprise stop towards the end.
Great Tour

David, Mario and Carlos have given us a wonderful day in Washington. In addition to legendary sights, such as the White House, Lincoln Memorial, United States Marine Corps War Memorial, Capitol, Arlington National Cemetery with Kennedy's Tomb, where there were stops to visit and take photos, we also saw the Pentagon as we drove by and were always told exciting information about it. The bus was comfortable and air-conditioned, the breaks for toilets and food absolutely sufficient. In the end we even had a short stop in New Jersey to take photos in front of the night skyline. Which is a bit misleading when describing it on Trip Advisor: You don't have a 4 hour stay at the National Mall, you have 90 minutes. But was also right for us, as the distances to run would have been very far and we drove to everything by bus instead and then had 10-20 minutes there each. Overall, we were very satisfied and would do the tour exactly the same again.
Great day trip to Washington

It was a really nice experience to get from NYC to Washington and back in a day. The tour showes all the spots we wanted to see and we got additional info from our tour guide Juanita. She’s very funny and explains the history behind buildings and monuments. Our driver Mario made sure we got everywhere safely. I recommend everyone to take the same tour.
Do it!

Our bus trip from NYC to DC was a very full day. We were happy to visit all the US government institution buildings. Quite awe-inspiring. Our guide was very thorough and interesting. It was a very big group and would have probably been better if we were supplied with a wireless audio system in order to hear everything. We would recommend this tour.
