We had a 50/50 experience with Big Bus. On a rainy morning, it was a great way to get around as we were on a bus where we could open a window slightly for fresh air. By afternoon, the sun came out, the humidity increased as did the crowds. The service became more unreliable, slower and we were on a bus that did not allow windows to open and a/c not turned on. It was very uncomfortable. We chose not to go to the roof to avoid sun exposure. We instead chose to get off and walk so that we could at least be in a breeze. Unfortunately, we ended up on buses that were running the routes backwards, for example, stop 6 to stop 5 when we wanted to go to stop 7. Maybe we should have asked the driver each time, but we were using the app and assumed the stops would be done in numerical order.
The narration was great, easily understood and in a variety of languages. However, we did not feel that we got our money's worth.

Thank you for the review. When you leave stop 5, you have to swing around the memorial to get to Arlington Cemetery at stop 6. Upon leaving Arlington in order to get to stop 7, you have to pass stop 5 again. It makes sense that this could be confusing for the first time. We have also addressed the window issue you have described.
