Our driver, Hollywood was fantastic. He was so informative and funny. We had a chance to get off the bus and see some of the sights up close. He allowed enough time without it being too much waiting for folks.

Where to start!!!! Great way to view with the windows rolled up but now sure you would see much it it’s raining. Our driver Smiley was very funny and VERY knowledgeable. He had so many funny stories to share. Would recommend this trolley trip.

A little chilly but the trolley passengers compromised on keeping vinyl shades up or down. MIKE, our guide and driver, was beyond knowledgeable about the buildings and monuments. Kept us current on status of closure or partial closure of the sites. They are also able to accommodate a scooter for those with mobility needs. A little dark at night. Bring a small flashlight or light up your phone on some areas. It’s very pretty lit up at night!

Fee was appropriate. Check in was easy. The tour was “a lot” about what every building we saw was rather than a general statement about “these are the office buildings for the representatives”. The city is so nice at night. The stops were appropriate in location and duration.

What a great way to see all of the monuments lit up at night! Our guide, Smiley, was informative, fun, and upbeat! 3 hour tour was well worth the price!

We toured the city, and I learned of monuments and other buildings that I had never heard of! We actually got out of the trolley at 3 stops. Buckeye shared a lot of information and was a great guide.

Seeing the monuments at night was a beautiful experience. We loved learning from Kia the Banker. My only criticism was seeing FDR monument and Vietnam wall memorial in the dark was kind of pointless and perhaps dangerous. Both locations were very poorly lit with some uneven ground. This isn’t the fault of the bus driver but something to consider for future tours. I don’t know if those places are supposed to have lighting and it just wasn’t on due to govt shutdown
