Great tour to see the important sights of Washington. Most people don’t visit Washington specifically for a holiday so doing a day tour of all the highlights was perfect. It was a long day and a little tiring at times but fun and a great way to see all the sights in a day from New York. We loved it. The tour guide was friendly and warm, the coach was comfortable and we really enjoyed it all.

the bus air conditioning system was so bad that it was so miserable doing the the long 5hour drive back plus the traffic getting out of DC... and they should just include the gratuities right away with the tour package since they impose 15 to 20 bucks to everyone at the end of the trip...doesnt matter if your in a group it has to be individual tipping...
