Have never been to the east coast before so was really excited for this tour. Would have given higher rating because we loved seeing New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Arlington Cemetery in Virginia, and the stops in Washington, Dc., but did not enjoy the tour guide. She made the tour a bit rough. Our trip began in New York at 6:30 AM. Our tour guide was very blunt and very strict. She said minimal talking and no cell phone use because it was early and people need their quiet time and sleep. She made us feel like we were children at times because of her constant scolding. She even scolded the drivers. She said absolutely no food or beverages on the bus .It's 4 hours to Washington DC with a stop in Delaware for a small break. There was a driver change in Delaware, who she immediately scolded because she felt he didn't board the bus in a timely manner. When we began the walking part of the tour at Arlington Cemetery, she walked so fast that the older tourists had a hard time keeping up with her. Everything was so rushed that you really couldn't fully enjoy the stops. We barely had any time at Arlington, which was sad to me. While at the White House she didn't allow anyone to go into a gift shop to get a memento. She said it was imperative that we keep on a strict schedule. When leaving the White House site, one couple that was from Cuba where she was born were taking photos and she totally embarrassed them when they boarded because she mentioned they were two minutes late. When they got on the bus she said Welcome to Havana, he retorted I don't think so. She didn't allow us to stop at the Vietnam Memorial wall, we walked right past it. I told her a cousin was killed in Vietnam and I really wanted to see his name and get a picture of the wall, she said if I did that I wouldn't have enough time to see the Lincoln Memorial. She started walking away and we lost sight of her so we didn't know where to find the bus. So, I bypassed the memorial wall and went to the Lincoln Memorial. Luckily when we got to the Lincoln Memorial I recognized a couple from our bus and they told us where the bus was going to be parked. We barely had time to walk past the Korean memorial because she said we had to get to the Capital Mall. She was pretty boisterous about her feelings towards our government and our President. It was 100 uncalled for. We had two hours at the Capital Mall, which was nice. When we got back on the bus she was eating a hamburger!!! She then told us to be sure to get some food and beverages when we stop in Delaware on our way back to New York. So, I guess we're allowed to have food on the bus now!!!! She sat most of the time and really didn't tell us much about the states we were travelling through. When we stopped in Delaware she was angry because a passenger was late getting on the bus, she told his companion that he better start calling him and to get off the bus and look for him. The companion said he was taking pictures. When he got on the bus she immediately raised her voice at him and told him he was 3 minutes late and he needed to abide by the rules because now it was going to be his fault that we're late getting back to New York. She was pretty pushy when we arrived in New York when it came time to tip her. We enjoyed seeing the states we drove through and the stops. Just wish it hadn't been so rushed and the tour guide would've been someone who actually liked her job and wasn't so rude to the passengers.
