Steve, our tour guide, was great. He was funny and very knowledgeable without being stuffy or flip. He gave very quick tidbits of history and facts to keep us interested. He also advised us on how to get around once we left the bus. Jonathan, the driver, was very good. I felt very safe and Jonathan navigated the streets quite deftly.

In concept meant to be a good service. In reality it is at best 2* in terms of user friendly experience. The main issue with the bus is how unreliable the timings are. Often well more more than a 40 minutes (usually longer) wait that the stipulated time on the timetable. What’s the point of a time-table?! Especially awful since it’s baking heat and uncovered at most of their bus stops. Secondly the bus is not configured smartly. The downstairs areas have windows that have a dotted window decal which is so pointless that you can’t see outside clearly, which defeats purpose of a bus tour. The top level under cover front section has good view but is baking hot as the front window is fixed so there is no breeze or air circulation. The buses stop running around 4.30/ 5pm which is quite early for Summer and only starts after 9am. Very poor value for money - this is not an inexpensive tour and does not live up to the cost or promise. I do not recommend it.

Good Evening, Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.I will alert management of the decals matter. Also, here in D.C we experience a heavy abundance of traffic which fluctuate are frequencies. We would like to follow the timetable however sometimes it can be difficult to arrive spot on. For our users convenience we do provide a bus tracker on our app and website. I do sincerely apologize that we could not live up to your expectations. Regards, Autumn

I would love to commend the Guy Willis, for going the extra mile to ensure that we receive our full benefit of our tour he gave a u brief but detailed description of our brochure to ensure that we would enjoy our day in his City even though I had brought my tickets from whoever, he even took his time by jumping on the bus with us and going over our tickets so that my family and i would not miss a beat and overall I loved my tour experience and would recommend it to the world.
