We had a very enjoyable, interesting and informative day in the company of Steve our tour guide. Pick up was stress free and as described and it was nice to settle in to the comfy bus (which had a toilet) with great views on a rainy New York morning. After several days of non stop walking around NY, we had been looking forward to be able to relax and allow someone else to take the reigns. Steve gave a lot of useful info and then gave us peace to enjoy the views through New Jersey until our first comfort and coffee stop at a service station in Wilmington, Delaware 2hrs into the 4hr trip to our destination (we loved the Cinnabon bun with pecans). I took the opportunity to buy fridge magnets. We stopped here again on the way back in the evening. Our first stop was at Arlington National Cemetery. The weather had improved and we had a lovely warm and sunny day ahead. There were toilets available there if needed. We visited the grave site of JFK etc al. Steve was very well informed and a font of knowledge. Next up was Washington DC. Views from the bus were great and included the pentagon. First stop was Jefferson Memorial (toilets and snack van available if you're quick) . Then the Lincoln memorial and memorials to Korean and Vietnam wars. Again toilets available. Lots of great photo opportunities at all the stops. I wish I'd watched Forrest Gump before I left as I kept thinking of him at the Mall! Steve somehow managed not to loose anyone. However we all had his mobile number to contact just in case which could be very useful if you get separated from the group. Finally we visited the Capitol Building and then the White House. The bus parked pretty close to all sites. It was amazing to do all this in a few hours without having to worry about logistics. Before the return to NY we stopped for food at Union Station. Just the usual fast food sort of outlets here in a food court. Then we made our way back, taking a slightly different route which was interesting and we could see Philadelphia off in the distance at one point. I think we got back to the starting point around 9.15-9.30 in the evening. It was a long day that didn't feel like it and was superbly managed by Steve. Thanks also to our drivers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this day bus trip to Washington DC and hopefully you will also have Steve informing and entertaining you.

Our guide Steve was very knowledgable, friendly and helpful throughout our tour of Washington. Plenty of time was allowed to look around and take photographs and to ask any questions. The last stop totally topped off the day and was magical.

We travel extensively, and have experienced the services of many tour guides. Alan our guide deserves notable mention, for his informative, thought provoking sharing of Washington and the historical and political sites we visited. He literally brought the sites to live with his anecdotes and personal experiences . was a remarkable trip to Washington.

As many things as you see on this tour, it is well worth the price. Our guide Allan was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed him giving history facts throughout our trip.

Jonathan_E

Perfect way to break up our NYC trip. Long day but so worth it! Allan was great - really knowledgeable and informative. The added surprise stop on the way home was incredible (I won't spoil it) and rounded off trip nicley.

Such an amazing trip, would definitely recommend. Alan was a brilliant guide, so informative, fun and wanted to make sure everyone got as much from the experience as they could. It's a long day so if anything I'd say there could have been some quieter periods on the tail ends of the day to allow rest/sleep but a very minor point and just a personal piece of feedback. Really great trip, worth every penny and the long day. Thanks again Alan, will look at your other tours when we next visit NYC for sure.

Mildred_B

Allan was an excellent guide and Carlos an excellent driver, thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Washington is a beautiful city.
