Reviews

The tour is a good way to see various highlights of Washington DC without having to walk.

James R., United States, 10-2008

Highly recommend this company's service. Safety was always emphasized throughout the tour while riding the bus. I was riding with a 3 1/2 yr. old and it kept her interest. She went to sleep about an hour into the tour but I think it was due to all that fresh air she was getting while riding on top of the bus.

Naomi M., United States, 08-2008

Since it was summer in Washington DC, we sat below in the air conditioned section, but while we were comfortable, it was difficult to see the attractions -- suggest sitting on top deck, weather permitting, would be better for visability.

Myra C., United States, 08-2008

Tour bus was very helpful - kept us off the roads in Washington DC - that was priceless!!

Carrie G., United States, 07-2008

A good way to see the city.

William C., United States, 07-2008

The tour covers all highlights for Washington DC.

Sandra H., United States, 07-2008

This tour is good if you want to just ride the bus and see the city. The tour information is on a recording so sometimes you just tune it out. In the summer time, it is extremely hot to sit upstairs. Overall it was an average tour. The downside to this tour is that it is difficult to find the stops for the bus if you didn't get on at the location where you last got off the bus. I looked on line and on the brochure to find the cross streets where the bus would stop and it's not very clear. For example, it would just say National Archives etc. It does not tell you it's on an avenue two blocks from the Archives. Furthermore, due to DC traffic, the bus is not on time. It was half and hour late at the National Cathedral and 15 minutes early at the Capitol Building. Another downside is that you have to ride the whole loop to get to the next destination you want to see. You have to ride through the several stops which can be up to 40 minutes in and out of traffic lights.

Dori S., United States, 07-2008

The buses go to all the major sights in DC. We really got to know the city and see a lot of sights without driving in the wicked traffic! The buses were clean and the lower level was air conditioned!! Great for July. We would definitely use this tour group again. Great deal!

Shanna S., United States, 07-2008

I would highly recommend.

Jill L., United States, 07-2008

Everyone was very nice and professional. Tours are awesome and very informative and the buses are brand new with air conditioning which I found was not offered with other company tours. The price is also the best. People prefer the upper deck and while in DC watch out for the trees which need to be cut because they will hit you in the face. The city should cut these down. Overall, I rate this THE BEST TOUR IN TOWN.

Teresa G., United States, 07-2008

Hop on hop off is an easy way to get a quick lay of the land so you can set an itinerary for the rest of your visit, our experience was cut very short by fourth of July activities in D.C. due to security. This was beyond the control of the operator no doubt, however they failed to advertise this to anyone who purchased a tour for that day. Also beware of the top level seats, many tree branches stick out into the street right at head height, listen to the warnings if your sitting on the curb side.

Erik P., United States, 07-2008

Would only recommend it if people had lots and lots of time.

Tammie D., United States, 07-2008

I really enjoyed this tour.

Steven P., United States, 07-2008

I was just in DC for one day so this gave me a great way to see the main tourist attractions in a short time. It was a good way to go and I will do it again.

Cherry K., United States, 06-2008

This was a good tour

Karen G., United States, 06-2008

It was great.Didn't have to drive our car at all in D.C.. All the sites that were on the list were very important to see.The tour was two days long,enough time to see everything.

Lee B., United States, 06-2008

The pick up points on the map were unclear, causing us to miss several pick up points because the picture of the bus on the map showed an area, not a specific address. It's wasn't until day 2 that another customer, told us to look for the signs on the street.

Kasee K., United States, 06-2008

Mores buses please!

RENEE D., United States, 06-2008

the recorded tour wasn't working the first time we rode the bus, the guide did a personal tour which was incredible. I can't remember his name but he was from Mexico originally. He was extremely knowledgeable and funny.

ginger d., United States, 06-2008

It was a great tour discovering the whole area. The bus was clean.

Tamas F., United States, 06-2008

great p/u and drop off area's. very helpful & friendly staff.

Judith L., United States, 06-2008

Overall very good general tour.

Cheryl D., United States, 05-2008

well planned/developed

Michael P., United States, 03-2008

Was very well set up and usable

Virgil S., United States, 03-2008

A great tour that takes you to see the important landmarks.

Adrianne G., United States, 02-2008

Ticketing personnel were neither friendly or a great deal of help, but the drivers and guides were very helpful and pleasant. The online itinerary should reflect the correct stops and the correct available number of stops currently being made.

Julie B., United States, 11-2007

The tour in Washington DC fills a void (less walking, above ground) to see sights that the Metro rail system does not. It's a great niche that we will plan to utilize again.

Brian S., United States, 10-2007

Your web site should have a clearer instruction of how to park at Union Station. There is only one small "parking" sign at is very hard to see. You should say to go across the front of Union Station and then turn on ramp at far end by glass building section to get to parking. We were not the only customers who had to circle Union Station more than once to figure this out. Simply saying to park at Union Station is NOT complete enough. Otherwise, the tour was great. Maybe you could have 2 routes - one the full 25 stops and a shorter route that just stays in Washington route 1 to 6 and then 20 to 25 so that people do not have to take the full long loop each time.

Susanne M., United States, 10-2007

This was a fun tour overall.

Diana D., United States, 08-2007

If you are spending a couple of days in Washington, then this tour is a great way to get round and see all the sites. Shopping in Greenwich Village was excellent. Unfortunately our hotel was a fair walk to the nearest pick up point.

Chris E., United Kingdom, 08-2007

WE ALL HAD ALOT OF FUN, AND WE LOVED THE OPEN TOP BUS.

heather c., United States, 07-2007

Excellent introduction for we foreigners to your city

Andrew P., Australia, 06-2007

I was very pleased with the tour and the ease of getting on and of the bus whenever I needed.
