1.00There was a No Kings protest that day so the trolley could not go down some of the tour routes, the roads were closed. They honored our tickets and offered us to come back another time so we will be doing that. As for Viator, when we were aware of the rally happening, I did contact the Viator company to see if we could change our date (not cancel) and they said since it was not within the 24-hour window they would not, so thankful for the actual company, Old town trolley, honored our pass for another visit. Viator needs to take notes on customer satisfaction, going forward I will not purchase from viator again, you can easily get tour bus tickets when you get there, and the staff on the old town trolly were amazing, they want their customers to have the best experience

5.00See if you get Josaiah as your driver. He is excellent. Took real good care of everyone. Was very patient with everyone including unrelenting DC traffic.
Would ride it again.

5.00The trolley is the best way to see DC because you’re not out in the sun like the double decker buses, but you do have a clear view through the open sides. The drivers were very knowledgeable and entertaining. We stopped at the Smithsonian and were able to hop on the next bus without a long wait. The stops are clearly marked and stop at pretty much every interesting spot. I saw some people get on the bus without their luggage and it was not a problem. I will definitely take this tour again and highly recommend it.it was worth the price.
Excellent bird’s eye view of DC.
