Driver skipped by us at 9 something. It was 10:30 by the time they had to circle back. This was our second day, to finish up on some sites, but was disappointing! We wanted to be out of DC early, but that was off the table after the mixup. We paid extra to come back today.

Easy to purchase tickets, easy on and off stops, and very informative drivers. I learned more about the city from the drivers than in history class! Highly recommend!
Great Way to see DC?

The trolly passed right by us without stopping twice at a pick up point. We ended up walking over 8 miles on the tour. It does not drop off by the attraction just in the vicinity. For the air & space museum it dropped off at the exit and we had to walk around the building to the entrance. No drop off at the Washington Monument. You will be doing quite a bit of walking in DC
Easy on and off

This on off trolly is a great way to see key points. The only thing I would do differently is do any museum on a different day. It takes up a lot of the time and the trolly only runs from 9 to 5:30. We also could not get to the stop at 9 because our gps was taking us to roads that were blocked off. So we had a late start. Not knowing the area made it hard to maneuver until we were actually on the bus. Great trip though.
Poor visibility and narration

We boarded the trolley at Union Station. The views and narration were great, until we were hit by a bus. We then needed to wait for a replacement trolley. Unfortunately, the new trolley had plastic window shades that were so scratched you couldn’t see anything. The narrator’s voice was garbled so we couldn’t understand a word. We got off at stop 4 and wasted $197. Would not receive mend.
