Disappointed

Buses were not every 30 minutes. . We waited over an hour for a bus to pick us up. . Bus stop not clearly marked . Disappointed with the drivers/ narrators. Taken hop on hop off in many cities and have had excellent experiences. DC was the exception.

Great overview of the city and sites to help planning the rest of your visit. Can't spend too much time at any one unless you just ride the rest of the time.
