Great experience especially for first timers to Washington DC. The tour guide was also very knowledgeable, giving us a brief history of the USA.

Really enjoyable day trip - would definitely recommend doing it. Margo was a terrific tour guide, really knowledgeable and friendly. Plenty of sights fitted into the trip, and a very comfortable bus journey to and from Washington. GREAT value for money!

A long day travelling but worth it to see some historic sites.

The trip with the bus was very long, but it was a great day - the weather was perfect and we saw everything, whats important in Washington.
Reviewed by: Anonymous, Austria, January 2010
The trip was a very long day; we had very little time at the attractions and it might to have been better to drop one visit to give more time at the others. The coach was old and cramped but the guide was cheerful and knew his history. You really need at least a whole day in DC to see all the museums.
