Exceptional - A super efficient Service, Eduardo who was the one who guided us already in the destination, the one in the module did not give an exceptional Service, the frequency of buses very good, they are not slow to pass, everything was very good, a very special mention for Eduardo

The bus conductor Delonte was the most amazing interaction I had that entire day. - The tour that I had was beyond a great experience, also the tour driver was very informative with announcements and directions. That was definitely a 10 out of 10 tour. me and my family will be visiting again next year.

A great night tour in DC - I had a great time during off time at a conference taking a big bus night tour of Washington DC on a beautiful Sunday night! We left from outside Union Station. Our driver Delonte was very informative. He was also a very safe driver and was helpful especially when my earphones were not working and he came upstairs and helped me out! Delonte was great at communicating to the tour people.

Nice experience - We enjoyed the ride and the views and I think the cost was reasonable. I think the view from the open air bus is the best view.

It was an enjoyable experience - Our tour was delayed, not sure why. It was a pleasant time but two issues kept cropping up 1) the audio wasn't all that great. I couldn't hear it most of the trip. 2) the tree limbs need to be trimmed on the trip. I was hit by them a couple times. Photo ops were hindered in many places because of the trees.

Hard Pass - Our evening monument trip only allowed you to exit at the Lincoln Memorial for 20 minutes or so. The commentary was a TERRIBLE recording with very little historical info, an outdated music track & lousy jokes. Did get several good pics of some of the monuments, but most were far away.
