5.00I ’d start at the earliest available time to ensure to see every stop and take full advantage of the hop-on, hop-off feature. My main priority would be to hop off at Ford’s Theatre, as I missed it previously and consider it a must-see.
Great experience

4.00Viator I would give a 1 star rating. After purchasing tickets and downloading app. There was no link to find stops, no address for stops, no information about a signage for stops. We lost almost an hour in time because we could not find the stop near the Lincoln memorial. We used that as our starting point. Website and app. Need to be updated
