It’s a little hard to hear the narration, but it’s a nice overview of some of the major sites in DC.

This is a good option for getting around the mall and tourist areas if you're traveling with anyone with limited ability to walk long distances. We were lucky to get some nice weather and sat up top in the open air. The last stop on the loop was conveniently one block from our hotel. Unfortunately, it doesn't run past 5:00 pm, so it's not an option to use getting to and from restaurants for dinner.
