I wanted to visit Washington and I thought this was great, a long journey but was aware of that, the tour pickup was easy to find, the tour guide and transport were on time. Steve our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable and gave lots of information, there was a lot going on around the Whitehouse due to the upcoming presidential inauguration day however Steve and the driver managed to get us close enough to get a photo. We got to see everything included as advertised and an amazing view of the night city skyline on the way back into New York We had a restroom stop on the way there and back, where we could get a drink, the bus was comfortable enough would have been better with a little more leg room due to distance travelled. So glad I did this

**"Overpriced Tour with Poor Planning and Misleading Promises"** The tour from New York to Washington was overly long and overpriced, with no water provided during the journey. Most of the stops were at free-entry parks, making the tour feel like poor value for money. Despite the package mentioning a visit to the White House, it was never included in the itinerary, which was highly disappointing. It also felt like the tour was designed to prioritize stops where they earn commissions, as we were taken to the same food court twice—once for breakfast at 8 PM and again for dinner at 4 PM. For anyone considering this trip, it’s better to take the train and explore the attractions at your own pace for a more enjoyable and cost-effective experience.

Sorry you didn't enjoy this tour. This is a 500 mile one day tour with 3 rest stops. Lunch is at Union Station at 2pm. All sites in Washington are part of the National Park with free admission. The White House stop is a photo op. No groups tour inside. Please let us know your guide's name to confirm if you went with our company.
