This was an amazing day!! It was a very very long day and very rushed to fit everything in but was well worth the effort. The Arlington Cemetery was high on my priority list and I wished we could have spent more time there. I would definitely recommend this tour. We saw so much and the tour guide really knew her history! Her knowledge of all the places we visited was amazing. My only complaint was the continual warnings of being left behind if we were late for our meeting times!!

Highly recommended tour!!

Tour is good but when boarding the bus and you are disable make sure you ask for front seats...sign is there but very small. We did not see it and when we did I told the tour guide...even he was taking 2 disabled seats. Tour company should look into this because it sure is an offense when a normal person is taking disabled seats and the disable has to seat way back.

First off , I am delighted we went to Washington and saw all the fascinating places of interest . That said ,it was an extremely long day . We were at the meeting place before the requested time of 6.15 am for a departure time of 6.30. However we were kept waiting until 6.45 by a delayed group which in turn meant we got delayed by an accident en route.
Our tour guide , Laura was extremely efficient and knowledgeable but we found her manner quite abrasive and she seemed very tense on the way to Washington. We were not happy at being pressured into leaving our bags on the bus at Arlington Cemetery. a few people were very stressed at the idea and Laura was very unsympathetic. One woman decided not to leave the bus.
Terrance , the driver was not in a good mood and as we arrived back on the bus he did not hide the fact that he was having a loud argument on the phone with someone. He also lost his way twice upon arrival in Washington.The last straw was as we approached NY, Laura made a lengthy speech in English and Spanish requesting a tip and even suggested an appropriate amount. We took many tours while in NY and nobody ever directly asked for a tip.
My polite husband got out his money and as he left thanked Terrence who growled leave it on the seat with the other heap of money .
The final matter was the bus itself , clearly rented from some other company and not suitable for the length of the journey. The seats were cramped and uncomfortable.Laura made another speech about what we could and could not do in the toilet at the back of the bus which meant everyone was too embarrassed to use it.
Washington was beautiful but I would not use that company again.
