The Old Town Trolley Tour...

5.00The Old Town Trolley Tour guides/drivers were excellent and funny to listen to. 👍🏼😊 Even though I paid for two to tour the Arlington National Cemetery, we didn’t have enough time to complete the 21 stop tour, because we wouldn’t have enough time to return to Union Station to catch our return Amtrak train to Newport News VA.
Don't waste your money!

1.00This was the worst tour I have ever taken. Paid for 21 stops only got 4 and was stranded, in the rain, at the Lincoln Memorial pick up stop for our return to the visitors center in downtown DC. Had to finally call after waiting an hour, and at 1st was told there were no more trolleys running since it was after 5 even though we were at the location around 4:10 and was told by the Arlington Tour bus driver that the last pickup was at 4:40. The operator at the local tour office at 1st said we have to find our own way back and I went off on her, sorry not sorry. She finally put me on hold and came back and said they were sending another trolley then hung up on me!! When we finally got back to our hotel I called the # for TrolleyTours.com since they guarentee a 100% customer satisfaction or you can get a full refund. When I called and told them of our horrible experience and wanted a refund they told me since I booked through a 3rd party, Viator, they have to refund me and transferred me to them. And now after telling our experience for the 2nd time I am now trying to deal with Viator, who seems to be reluctant, to get my refund. This was the worst experience and I will NEVER use TrolleyTours or Viator for any future tours.
Not as expected

2.00There was an event and only 4 of the 15 stops were available. I have requested a refund but they are still reviewing. Not much to review! Stops were not available!
More than 1/2 the stops we could not get to

3.00We bought tickets on line. When we got there more than 1/2 the stops were not accessible. Washington had closed roads for a protest. There was no refund for the missing stops. Buyer beware.
Avoid parade days

2.00Check to see if their are parades or street closures. We didn't know that we would only see 3 of the 21 stops until we got on the trolley
