It's your standard Big Bus Hop on Hop off tour, one round takes approximately 90 minutes and takes you past may of the must see sights. The commentary is prerecorded and available in several languages. At US$ 54 for the one day Classic ticket I thought it was quite expensive (the current GBĀ£ exchange rate to the US$ isn't helping). I did one round without getting off and later joined for a ride from the National Mall to the Lincoln Memorial. TBH I later found the Metro Circulator, a public bus which runs much of the route (without any commentary) throughout the day, so perhaps an option for a self guided tour if amed with a guide book šŸ¤« There's an app with a "live bus tracker", but when I was using this to catch the next bus after visiting the Air and Space Museum it showed some bus icons moving - but the next bus that arrived at my stop hadn't shown on the app so could easily have been missed. That was disappointing. If you're pushing this feature please ensure it works! One plus with the BigBus was the staff, they were great.

Visit by Italian Friends for whom it was a 1st time visit to Wash. DC. Visitor bus tour provided the perfect guide in their own language.

German narration on earphones kept stopping mid sentence, often switched to English by itself. Also, not loud enough when sitting upstairs, as the bus vibrates all the time. Some Staff was nice, others not so much. My elderly auntie with a cane needed the bus entry to be lowered. Only one nice driver did this. Other drivers had to be asked.
