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.

The guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. I loved looking at all of the statutes. I learned things I did not know

Well, when you get the information it says check-in is at Union Station so it made us think that we had to drive our car and check in there before we could use the ticket found out later that we didn't have to do that so we wasted money on the first day so we did drive to Arlington Cemetery though and got to use the pass so it wasn't a complete loss

Best thing we did while in DC Great experience and awesome drivers We loved Joe Moe and learned a lot about the Capitol City and landmarks, plus Joe was funny and entertaining, and was knowledgeable about the area. Would recommend hop on hop off bus tours to anyone looking to explore the city.

We had the great pleasure of meeting your staff member, Kamari, at the metro stop. He took us directly to the trolley stop. The tour was great and we appreciated the knowledge of the drivers, and Kamari.

David was our guide. He was awesome! When he cried during Taps, it was apparent he loves his job! This was so touching!

The stops were not clearly marked. But our trolley drivers were very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting and worth taking. We missed the first few hours of the tour because of the unclear markings.
