    Great opportunity to view Washington DC at your own pace. You can take the tour and stay on the bus. Or get of at any or all of the stops.

    Don’t go during Cherry Blossom. The streets are so crowded with tourists in cars and buses that you can wait longer on the bus than walking.

    Get the 3 day tour, it is worth the extra money. The Air Conditioners were not working, horribly hot, or windy and rainy on the top open area. The bus drivers and the support personnel were great!
