The last bus that left at 3;30 p.m. did not go out to Arlington Cemetery. So we didn't get there! Since it was so late in the day we did not have time to stop at any of the sights. However, we did drive by and see each site, so that was nice. If you cannot start in early morning and go all day, this is not for you.

Our driver (mike)was so knowledgeable about the history both past and present. He packs a whole lot in that tour. Would highly recommend.

It was nice and the drivers we had were all great. The only problem we had was we got left at Arlington Cemetery. The trolley was there but no driver and we had to wait for another driver. Fortunately the driver we had took us right to the welcome center. We were in a parking garage right by the welcome center.

Great to use especially on a hot day. The drivers were knowledgeable with some humor thrown in. If you plan to use the Hop On Hop Off bus I recommend you get the two day pass as the bus stops running after 4:00 pm. Also, go to Arlington cemetery early in the tour since you will take a shuttle at the Korean memorial to get there and you will miss the HOHO bus when it stops running.

It was difficult to find parking nearby. The employees were very helpful. Some bus driver tour guides were better than others.
