Big Bus Tours really is my 'usual' for the first 2 days in a place I haven't been before. DC of course the same thing. Wherever they exists, I go. So, bought my ticket from super friendly Lena and Jabari at the Lincoln Memorial and off we went. You'll be spending a lot of time on Constitution and Independence Ave but the tours do make detours into Chinatown, to Arlington (must see, leave the tourist pathways) So pretty much all the sights are covered. You'll get a quick overview. What you won't see up close sue to there being no public roads are the White House and Congress - make sure you book your tour tickets well in advance.

We booked for Thanksgiving and there was no mention of altered hours or tour being canceled, after booking and the day before our tour started we received noticed of altered times, and stops being unavailable until early afternoon. I would’ve appreciated notice prior to booking and we would’ve chosen a different date. Also the first departure time for water taxi at the wharf was wrong. The bus also didn’t pick up at the last time at stop 16 we had to walk far and ended up missing our sunset tour. We had a wheelchair and luckily our person was able to get up and step up into bus because it seemed like none of the wheelchair lifts were working.
