Teaching Moment! - This trip is really amazing!! Pack your snacks because the lunch spot will run out of the hot sandwiches leaving you to have to eat what’s left, cold salad and chips.

Washington DC - Fantastic - Great day with excellent guides. From start to finish fantastic experience, travelling through some wonderful places enroure. Arrival into Washington you are taken to each place on the intinary and tour guide remains with you at some locations due to timings but lots of free time to enjoy the great places visited. Highly recommend.

Washington day trip for the time poor - I had a great time on my day trip to Washington DC. It's a great way to see the capital from NYb when you're time poor. Warning that it's a very long day with lots of walking but you pack a lot in. Thanks for a great day!

Great full day trip - Great full day in Washington. Manny (sorry if spelt wrong) was a great guide. We saw so much and nothing was rushed. In a small group which was good. Really enjoyed the whole day.

Beautiful day - Visit from New York early around 6:30. 4h drive to Washington where we could see the emblematic places: Arlington Cemetery where we observed the grave of JFK and his family, then memorial with the huge statue of Abraham Lincoln, very impressive, view of the obelisk and small tour of the monuments of the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Next view of the White House (we can only access the far side because of damage works), aviation and space museum where we have 1h15 of free time. Finally visit in front of the capitol, very impressive then return to New York. Five hours drive back because of traffic on a Friday night. It was a beautiful day even if it passes very quickly.
