A headache maker

1.00If you’re looking to enjoy the city without getting a migraine this is not your place. Driver didn’t stop talking not even a minute. The volume was so high that I couldn’t even talk to my wife sit beside me. I understand the necessity of the driver trying to earn a tip but she ruined the experience and the rest of the day because of the headache. Definitely not recommended. Also the stops are not the best either and took an eternity to wait for the bus. Do yourself a favor and uber from one point to another. If you are three or more you will also save money.

5.00So glad we booked this tour! All the stuff you want to see. Duke, our tour guide, was absolutely the best and most knowledgable tour guide we’ve ever experienced! If you want to experience Washington DC, but do not have several days to do so, I highly recommend this tour! Be sure to ask for Duke!

4.00The bus has various stops around the city to view and visit all the main attractions. I started at Union Station and got there early to catch the first bus. The conductor on the bus Bernie gave some really insightful and helpful advice on how to set up the day to ensure you maximised the day to see all the things you wanted. Great advice was received to ensure Arlington was given the maximum amount of time to see. The buses run regularly and all live commentary. I did have driver completely miss me on a stop, but you can spend extra time at a stop, as there is always things to see and the next driver will grab you in approximately 20 minutes. Each conductor gives different additional information so there is always something different if you do the loop multiple times. The conductors are amazing for giving people additional information on the best time for some attractions. Always pointed out photo opportunities. Can get multiple day tickets. Great bunch of drivers. Ryan was also really insightful with handy tips on the attractions.
Great tour…wonderful guide, Birdie.
