This is a great way to get a glimpse of DC if you want to squeeze a day out of your trip to NY. The tour met at 6:30 AM at Time Square. It's about a 4-hour drive to DC, each way. Once we got into DC, we were brought to several sites for a brief (anywhere between 10-30 minutes) tour of each attraction. The lunch was about 1:45 hours and we were dropped off near the Air and Space museum. Frankly, I thought the tour was great. I thought our tour guide was OK -- not exactly warming and welcoming but this may be a NY cultural thing. Nothing bad but I've been on a lot of tours where the guides are either warm, inviting, welcoming, funny, interesting, and all of the above. Our guide didn't really have any of that. The tour bus driver appeared rude to me... but again, that's me and it may be a cultural thing Either way, I still provided each of them a generous tip because it was a VERY LONG day for all of us. We started at 6:30 am and by the time we were dropped off, it was close to 9 pm. Anyone who works these long hours to take care and to entertain us deserves something.
