Traveler reviews
Great DC Bus Tour
Was very hot, so bring a sun hat. The tour provided plenty of water for everyone. We had a great time. A quick tour of several key experiences in DC, Spent about 20 min at each. Bus was very comfortable. Our guide, Sam, was very friendly and knowledgeable. A lunch on the Georgetown dock, and then a Potomac river cruise. A lot of fun.
Great Disappointment
I came especially to watch the Cherry Blossom and although they advertised it on the same day I was in Washington it ended when I was there I was in washington before and the only reason for being there was the Cherry Blossom
Just do it!
Just can’t beat it. See everything with a guide who is very knowledgeable. A must if you want to see a lot in a day!
Wonderful!

Great experience
It’s a high-level tour to see the major attractions. As you’re going to many attractions, you should not expect to spend a lot of time at each one, but that’s perfect so you know which ones to go back to your own leisure
