Traveler reviews
Philadelphia was just a...
Philadelphia was only a short stop of 30 min. We could have saved that. But was program so intended. So no criticism. D.C., we've seen a lot. It was worth it. Hotezimmer was fine, too. Breakfast was the last thing. Tour guide Jackson was nice and explained a lot.
Pass on this tour
I do not recommend this trip. We were on a 55-passenger bus and were the only two English-speaking people. Our guide was nice and did his best to communicate to everyone. The bus driver kept getting lost, we only had 10-15 minutes when we stopped at attractions and if you needed to use the bathroom, you really had no time to see anything. The first day, we didn't even stop to eat until evening. The hotel was 45 minutes from DC so we wasted time coming and going. The second day we spent 2 hours in DC. We left at 1 and didn't get back to New York until 10:30! Our bus had seen better days as well. They kept the bathroom locked, so thankfully we didn't need to use it. I recommend taking Amtrak into DC and creating your agenda. Live and Learn!

Value for money
This trip to DC worked out very well for us . The trip was not a very rushed one . We got to see the basic attraction s just enough to get the feel of DC . Thou the hotel we stayed was very decent , but was abt 40 mins out of the down town . Our tour guide was very sweet but as the crowd was mainly Chinese she spoke more in mandarin . Over all it was a decent experience .
DC exploration
Vicky our tour guide was great at accommodating us as we were the only English speaking guest on her tour.
