We love doing the hop on... - We love doing the hop on hop off trolley. I think you need to have more trolleys picking up . Especially at the end of the day. Had to wait because one was full and the next one took a long time to get there. More than 15 minutes.I know the traffic is bad which is why you need more trolleys.

Good option - Good service but there was a worse variation of narration between drivers and wait times were a little longer than we expected.

Joyful experience - Very good experience, knowledgable friendly tour guides. Easy access to all the attractions. The day got long though, it was the week after the 4th of July, waiting times were long and the trolley busses full. At the end we got caught in a rainstorm due to waiting long for a trolley bus.

I would have been happier with the walking tour. - The drivers of the trolleys was brilliant, but the route was not. The stops where to close to each other so checking out the sites made passing stops by walking way easier than go back to the stop to continue. This made us only use the trolley between three stops effectively. Taking an extra bus at stop 10 to get to Arlington is ridiculous and a waste of time, since you still have to go on the Arlington specific trolley anyway. In summary: I’m not sure it’s worth the $61 if you’re able to walk yourself. Buy an Arlington ticket and get the walking tour.

Wasted a lot of valuable time we could have used sightseeing… - We were extremely disappointed in your tours. Most buses were filled to the max with no seats available, and we had to continually “wait” for the next bus at most of the stops. We wasted a lot of time just waiting for the next bus. It made the day very unpleasant. You should have a limit to how many tickets you sell if you don’t have enough buses available to accommodate everyone. This happened more than once.

Waste of money - The company overbooks the passes to the shuttle. On the day we went, thousands of people from the same group had tickets as well. There were never seats on the bus so you ended up waiting for two to three other buses to come so you could get on and go to next stop. The use of this shuttle system caused more anxiety than anything. The only good thing that came out of it is that me met Birdy, best driver and tour guide there is. I would strongly not recommend this company. Biggest waste of money!!!!!

After asking multiple workers at thee Arlington cemetery and getting different answers and waiting around for an hour. We left and drove ourselves. Threw away $135 for nothing! Never use this again. What a waste of time and money!
