Change Tour Name to reflect real tour - Recommend changing the name of this tour. Due to barricades, unable to see sites promised and driver 45 minutes late. Saw other sites in DC. The bus driver did his best under the circumstances.

Inauguration Preview Tour - It was a fun experience and the tour guide did the best they could. We just didn’t get to see much because of the inauguration preparations.

Political tour - We got to see a lot of things, but you dont have a whole lot of time and each stop. So you will want to either do a hop on hop off tour on another day or take an a uber to the places where you want to spend mord time. Our tour guide was very political about what is going on in today, rather than talking about the actual history. We finally had to ask him to please stop talking about politics and just tell us what every president does. And you dont get any water on this tour.

Poorly advertised tour. - Just a tour bus with multiple stops. This was advertised as a presidential inauguration preview tour. Thought we would be told about what presidents start, stop and do. Nothing was mentioned about the inauguration.

NEVER EVER SCHEDULE this tour DAY before an Inauguration!!! - This tour should NEVER be scheduled the day before an Inauguration!!! Due, to streets closed our driver was at least 40 minutes late! After boarding tour bus, we were informed that the tour would NOT be able to travel by several sights, re:White House, Capital, etc!
Most DISAPPOINTING! After waiting in traffic over 30 minutes to get back to drop-off, majority of tour ended up getting off tour bus and walking three blocks to metro.
This tour was definitely not worth our time or money!

I realize it was the day before the inauguration and many streets were closed. However, I feel the tour company should have shared this with the people booked on the tour and let them determine if they wanted a refund. This was definitely a waste of 120 dollars.</p>
