3.00It started a little too late. It was also inconvenient to keep hopping off and on the bus to take photos. The best part was listening to the tour guide who was very knowledgeable and shared very interesting facts. He was very intelligent and funny.
Too crowded

3.00Way too crowded, in fact it was difficult to hear what the guide was saying from the back of the bus. Not worth it, although some of the sights were nice

4.00Aside from the “tacky” presentation at the Gaylord at National Harbor, it was a tour we enjoyed. Derrick, our guide, was knowledgeable and entertaining, and Tanya, our driver, did a great job.
