This tour takes you to all the main sights to see as is advertised. The best part is there are many times to get off and get up close. Sally was our fantastic guide. Really knows and loves DC.

The bus is excellent, air conditioned well, nice leather seats, and very comfortable. Tour guide was friendly and offered insight. The driver was outstanding. We were able to go right on the front walk of the U.S. Capitol A few things to note, not all monuments listed were stopped at due to some closures and reconstruction. The White House is only seen from a great distance near the back lawn. In total we had 6 stops, not 10 as advertised. Also note that the tour does not return to drop you off where it started like it says in the description. We were just 7 blocks from the starting point and told we needed to take an Uber in order to get back or that we could take the bus to Foggy Bottom‘s and then have to take a metro home. Priority was given to passengers that insisted on being dropped off first in order to make an early flight. Prior to the trip beginning this was never discussed with us, we anticipated that they would simply follow the description on their Ad on Trip Advisor that they would return to the pick up location. This added an additional $35 to our trip of paying $98 for the tour plus and $40 in tips, total our evening was $173. So buyer beware they may leave you stranded at the Lincoln Memorial.
