Piotr i Konstancja - We had the pleasure of joining a one-day trip from New York to Washington, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. Our guides, Jose and Dawid, were professional, knowledgeable, and made the journey both comfortable and enjoyable. Once in Washington, we were welcomed by a fantastic local guide who definitely deserves special recognition for his engaging and informative commentary. A particularly moving moment was meeting a Vietnam War veteran at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He generously shared his personal story, which deeply touched us and added a powerful, human dimension to the visit. The tour was very well organized, safe, and thoughtfully planned. As visitors from Poland, we were especially proud to hear about Tadeusz Kościuszko — a Polish hero remembered and honored in the United States. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for such a meaningful experience!

Great day trip to DC from NYC - Jose and David provided a great tour of Washington D.C. for my family and I (Wife and two daughters, 15yrs and 12yrs) The coach journey was smooth, the coach had A.C. and a restroom, and the stops were reasonable and never felt rushed. Visited everything as advised and even had a nice surprise stop towards the end.

Great day tour that is absolutely worth it! - David, Mario and Carlos have given us a wonderful day in Washington. In addition to legendary sights, such as the White House, Lincoln Memorial, United States Marine Corps War Memorial, Capitol, Arlington National Cemetery with Kennedy's Tomb, where there were stops to visit and take photos, we also saw the Pentagon as we drove by and were always told exciting information about it. The bus was comfortable and air-conditioned, the breaks for toilets and food absolutely sufficient. In the end we even had a short stop in New Jersey to take photos in front of the night skyline. Which is a bit misleading when describing it on Trip Advisor: You don't have a 4 hour stay at the National Mall, you have 90 minutes. But was also right for us, as the distances to run would have been very far and we drove to everything by bus instead and then had 10-20 minutes there each. Overall, we were very satisfied and would do the tour exactly the same again.
