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.

The Hop on Hop Off tour worked well. The drivers provided additional information about the sites which was useful. The shuttle in Arlington was especially helpful. Our only issues were communications about when the service stopped for the day (conflicting explanations), and about the pricing for adding an additional day (not clear).

Many stops easy access on and off sometimes you have to wait for quite a while in between pick ups. All drivers were very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining what we were seeing.

Might be a bit windy with open windows, so take an extra layer. On the other hand, the open windows made our experience fun!

Every stop is a drop off and you have to wait 20 minutes for another trolley. It’s a little confusing in the ad. It reads as if you stop for pictures and then move on in the same trolley.
