Day trip from New York City to Washington D.C. - This day trip from New York City to Washington D.C. was very well organized. Departure was conveniently located in central Manhattan, and the itinerary included all the major attractions, such as the White House, the Capitol, and the Lincoln Memorial. The timing for each stop was well planned, allowing us to enjoy the sights without feeling rushed. Our Italian-speaking guide was knowledgeable, professional, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for those who want to explore the U.S. capital in just one day from NYC.

- The views were amazing, we took. Lot of photos. Our tour guide Melina was amazing. She made everything look so easy. We covered so much in a day and yet it did not feel like we were rushing.

Great trip! - Great trip! Ben, our guide, was super helpful and nice. The driver too! Everything was planned to detail and we loved that! Plenty of time for pictures and snacks. Keep in mind to have a jacket with you, the AC was going extremely strong, we switched between hot weather outside, sweat and freezing cold in the bus and we got a little bit sick. But overall a very nice experience!

A day in D.C. - Good itinerary to discover the main D. C. Monuments. The Air and Space museum is beautiful. I would recommend this trip to a friend.

A tour not to recommend without restrictions. - The last attraction was regrettable! It was supposed to be a stop for lunch and a Museum to visit. Completely crowded for lunch, badly served (even a simple espresso was not available), and a decadent, extremely modest museum. The guide (Japanese-english) was not a sympathetic, accessible person. Besides, in this too hot season long or hursh walks should not be the unique option (the group had several elderly people).
