It was terrible bus drive. First they made us sit on a bus. Then asked to change the bus. The seat we got was the worst. Didn’t get to see anything properly. Would never recommend this to anyone.

Bus left without us. We arrived at 6:40 for a night tour that was supposed to leave at 7. We arrived to the bus, where the parked driver said that the other bus had left without us. We didn’t get to attend the tour. Hopefully we will get a refund.

This was an impromptu tour. I decided on giving a chance as I was visiting in Arlington and the Washington DC area by myself while awaiting a next day flight out of Ronald Reagan Airport. I am disabled with limited mobility but i really wanted an opportunity to see with my own eyes many of the historical monuments and sites of significant American Pride. As a night tour is basically drive by touring it got me a close as able to see these remarkable American Marvels. The 15 minute stop at the Lincoln Memorial/ Washington Monument was absolutely breathtaking. Due to my disability the walk from the bus to the point of interest was a bit more difficult than I should have done on my own. But this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me so I pushed my capabilities in order to see these amazing sites with my own eyes. I paid the price with a couple days of leg and spine pain from pushing a bit too much. But I have no regrets. Doing this tour gave me such a feeling if personal and independent accomplishment. I’m so glad I did not allow my disability the opportunity of witnessing these beautiful monuments honoring Great American Leaders.
