Good, but not all pickups were 20 minutes apart. We gave up on the Lincoln Memorial Vietnam stop after 40 minutes.

Hello Lorna, thanks for leaving your feedback. We're sorry that the wait times impacted your trip; as we tend to operate in big cities, occasionally traffic can let us down. We recommend using the Live Tracking feature on our app to help plan your route on the day. We hope to see you on a Big Bus Tour again soon! Alice @ Big Bus Tours

Unorganized mess in the beginning, as they had a meeting about how to maneuver the city. Overbooked and standing room only one of our late buses that missed a stop to end the tour (missed going by the WH to go back to Union Station) which want blocked bc other buses went there. But it hit the highlights, so points for that.

Excellent way to see Washington DC. Staff, Devaughn who was stationed at the White House stop was excellent. He was super friendly and kept giving us updates on where and when the next bus was arriving as there was a slight delay. Definitely an asset to the Big Bus group in DC.
