The tour was surprisingly good - we went to many places and the guide gave useful info. It is a good mixture of sitting in the bus and walking around the monuments - so many of them are outside and require good 15 to 30 min to see. Only issue was that he guide had a very heavy accent and it was hard to understand him. Also, the starting point that is marked on the maps is wrong - bus leaves from the city bus station which is some 30 min away from downtown. Check that! Also, it is best to print out the ticket. In our case, they did a compromise and let us forward us the confirmation but it was on the border. Otherwise, great route, good info, and really enjoyable. At night all of the monuments are lit up in just gorgeous colors so it creates amazing atmosphere.

Was going to use Circulator, but found out BigBus stopped outside our hotel. It was so hot (90 degrees) so we opted for tickets. We were well pleased with the pick up punctuality compared to our experience in Philly. We used the tracking app and it was pretty accurate. Stop info was enough to give us an idea of what each attraction offered. Particularly we enjoyed the live tour guide (can't remember her name) but she was super knowledgeable and had many close ties to the area. My 14 year old grandson was so impressed with her knowledge he was thinking he would like to be a guide. He loves history and geography.

Dewayne was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He knew details about things that weren't on our tour and made our experience both fun and very informative. Kris was a great driver and very pleasant. The day of our tour, at 12:30 pm the heat index was 106 degrees, but there was plenty of bottled water available to keep us hydrated and the bus was always nice and cool. I don't think I could have asked for a better tour for my daughter's and my first Washington D.C. trip. Will definitely us this tour service for our next trip to D.C.

We used the Washington Hop-On, Hop-Off bus to see as many attractions as possible. We got the 2 day pass and used the first day to prioritize the various monuments and museums we wanted to see. We used the second day to budget our time in seeing all of the attractions we wanted to see and we were already familiar with the bus schedule. The narration provided on most of the routes was also informative and helpful.

The bus was supposed to pick us up from our hotel but they had to send a Lyft vehicle instead which was a little awkward/uncomfortable as we've not traveled that way before. After getting to the meeting place we weren't quite sure which corner to stand on but all in all we met others who were taking the same tour and we all ultimately ended up in the right spot, recognizing the vans
