This is a great way to learn about the city. Great history. We love these types of tours because we get a lot of them. We do it for a day, the entire trip and then on the second round we get off and on. Do the Arlington National Cemetery. Paying for it in advance also gets you on the tram within the cemetery. Do the cemetery first!!!

Great tour, excellent and knowledgeable driver! She was comical and accommodating. She knew just where to stop to provide excellent photo ops! She's a keeper!

There is no pickup at the DC ward, yet it is still on the map, and the trolly goes right by. Once we got that figured out the rest of the route was great.

Drivers had a wealth of information. Very friendly and considerate. Would definitely do another tour, maybe Nashville.

DC is not a very walkable sightseeing city so Hop on/Hop off worked perfectly for us. Drivers had very good running commentaries along the way. Despite the Schumer Shutdown, we saw many of the sites we had planned on. The Arlington Cemetery loop is a “must see” add on

See if you get Josaiah as your driver. He is excellent. Took real good care of everyone. Was very patient with everyone including unrelenting DC traffic.

The trolley is the best way to see DC because you’re not out in the sun like the double decker buses, but you do have a clear view through the open sides. The drivers were very knowledgeable and entertaining. We stopped at the Smithsonian and were able to hop on the next bus without a long wait. The stops are clearly marked and stop at pretty much every interesting spot. I saw some people get on the bus without their luggage and it was not a problem. I will definitely take this tour again and highly recommend it.it was worth the price.

The trip gave us an excellent bird’s eye view of DC. And our driver, Birdie, gave us a clear and interesting overview that enabled us to select our stops of interest.
