5.00This trip to DC worked out very well for us . The trip was not a very rushed one . We got to see the basic attraction s just enough to get the feel of DC . Thou the hotel we stayed was very decent , but was abt 40 mins out of the down town . Our tour guide was very sweet but as the crowd was mainly Chinese she spoke more in mandarin . Over all it was a decent experience .

3.00The tour contents and tour guide are excellent ( Mr. Rong Zheng). But about 45 people out of 55 are Chinese and it should be altered. Their behavior and attitude such as speaking loudly in the bus, smoking everywhere, etc. were very annoying. Moreover, the guide had to speak in English and Chinese. It was a half service as a non Chinese speaker. If other tours are the same, I will not sign up anymore. The program and the guide are awesome.
Nice trip
