Although the concept of the big bus tour is great, it was not reliable and the buses were not running on time, at every stop we were waiting more than half an hour, sometimes over an hour in the freezing cold and missing out on valuable sightseeing time. We really enjoyed Washington and the rich history but the cold wait times made the day more difficult than it should have been.

Ask where the next bus will be when you get off. Buses didn’t seen to have a specific spit to stop and if u are not in the exact spot, the bus doesn’t wait but a second
