Waited over an hour and the bus never showed up. What a waste of $100! I only took the bus one stop. Unreliable service and puts a damper on your trip if you’re on a schedule.

it was a great tour we were only in Washington for a short time so this was a great way to see the city and it went to all the stops that we wanted to see. With it coming every 30 mins it was enough time to see everything on the map at least once.

The bus is ok on a nice day, but the top level is open and the windows below have heavy screening built into the glass so you can’t see very well at all. The arrival times are pretty random. The “Tour guide” is just a recording that you listen to, so no questions. Sometimes we weren’t sure which building was being described.

Hi Andrea_B, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We're really sorry to hear that while the view from the bottom floor was fantastic, the commentary didn't quite hit the mark for you. We've made the switch to a recorded commentary system featuring expert insights instead of live guides. This change helps us provide a more consistent and high-quality experience for everyone. We're always working on enhancing the commentary to ensure you have the best experience possible. We look forward to welcoming you back on our buses, and we're confident your next experience will be much better!
