Cherry Blossom Bus advice

- Review from Viator
4.00Bus drivers excellent. The hand out maps misleading and inaccurate. The stops less than desirable. Recommend Big Bus vs. hop on off orange green buses. Big Bus had much better stops during cherry blossom fest.
Better instructions needed

2.00It was difficult to find the bus stops therefore we only ended up getting to ride one time the entire day. Not the best experience by far.
No Trollys

1.00I couldn’t find a trolley, therefore not qualified to rate. Would have said zero stars except I couldn’t advance ratings.

5.00Patty was a great guide for our bus ride to Lincoln Memorial. We then got off to do some walking and site seeing. Then caught a bus back to starting point. Would definitely recommend the tour and would use again on another trip.

4.00Once we were on the bus it was great. The drivers are funny, full of information and we enjoyed hopping on and off at sites we wanted to explore. I always recommend taking an on off bus in any new city. I had trouble with the app and was very frustrated at the beginning. It kept saying to start the bus at any stop but when I clicked it kept circling around to the same screens and I could find find a map of the stops. Then we were dropped at the capital but ended up on the wrong side. Again, no map to see where to get the bus. I had to call the center twice to find the right place. Please make a map available on the app.
Wonderful

Old Towne Trolley hop on / off tour
David S,Mar 24, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00The Old Towne Trolley was extremely informative. Was a fast way to tour the city and determine what you want to hop off and see. Guide had a wealth of knowledge that was interesting and gave back story to many of the cites and places that I had never heard about. Great way to see the major cites of the city. Easy to find and easy to navigate
