Seemed like a long time...

4.00Seemed like a long time to wait for shuttles. One driver was unintelligible; talked so fast. But the rest was great.
Not bad, but not the best experience.

3.00It is a good way to get around and see more things in a shorter amount of time. However, the bus was 2 hours late picking us up, with no explanation until about an hour into our wait. Then, because we started late, we got to the Arlington Memorial Cemetery & we’re told we couldn’t take a tour there because it was too late. So we had to just turn around and leave. Very disappointing! That was our #1 stop we wanted to make sure we experienced.
Delayed with no communication and did not go to Arlington.

1.00The tour was delayed without any communication. Also, when we did get to check in, we were told we would not be going to Arlington National Cemetery. This was the main reason we booked this tour. The tour guide was great but I think at least a partial refund would be due.
Great opportunity to learn about DC!

5.00This was a great experience! You can jump on and off at any of the stops to see museums, memorials and the federal buildings. All that DC has to offer. You go through the restaurant lane. It’s amazing! Really enjoyed myself and would highly recommend to anyone who just wants to learn about DC and everything the city has to offer!!
Good

5.00The tour of the cemetery is very smooth. You are able toget on or off at various locations. You do need to get off and walk to see the tomb of the unknown soldier and Kennedys final resting place. That includes stairs and walking uphill and downhill.
It was informative tour

5.00We bought the ticket for the city and Arlington National Cemetery for 2 adults for USD151.40 (with discount USD21.50) - 2x Arlington Cemetery USD43 plus 2x City tour USD 129.90 (I think the price was a bit more than we expected) from the staff in front of Intercontinental Willard hotel from where the bus tour started. We finished the city tour at the Lincoln Memorial as from there was going shuttle bus to the cemetery. When we came back we decided to walk the Mall and see all memorials there. While we've been on the bus the driver who was also a guide was really good and he told us about the places we passed by.
