Washington DC Day Trip - I really enjoyed visiting the Arlington Cemetery, Washington DC, and Lincoln Memorial. The tour guide did a great job, but I wished people would walk slower. My 64 yr old legs had a tough time keeping up.

Memorable - Informative, entertaining and a wonderful experience. The tour guide Carlos knew the history of the areas we visited. I applaud the driver George who drove us from New York City to Washington DC and back safely. The lady who worked with Carlos was very efficient and made sure we were all on the bus. This trip is suitable for able bodied persons and I think an overnight option is something to consider as I needed more time in the museum. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it and was wondering what other places do you have on your agenda.

Washington DC in one day from New York - Superb day exploring the monuments, cultural and historical sites of this beautiful city. A short additional stay would not be superfluous to visit the nooks and crannies of the American capital.

Very nice excursion from New York - Very nice excursion from New York! A busy day with a visit to Washington's main monuments: White House, Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, etc. Our guide Dominique was very friendly, with interesting anecdotes and a personal touch that made the tour lively and enjoyable. I highly recommend this excursion to discover the American capital in one day!

Super day trip - Since we spend several days in NYC, we thought it would be nice to see something else. DC is perfect for a day trip and with this tour you can visit all the major sights within a few hours. The guides & the driver are super nice and well prepared, the day is well thought out & planned. We were allowed to leave our bags on the bus as the bus was either locked or guarded by the driver. I particularly liked the fact that we were assigned a German guide, (we actually thought it was only offered in English.) Melina has always given us tips on where to see and photograph something extra from the bus and she has told many things that we have not yet known. Thank you very much

Excellent tour - All key sites are visited and is well organized. Our tour guide Oki was excellent and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour. There is a stop half way there for a toilet break and food and a stop on the way back

The best day to learn American history - It was a good tour, with a Japanese female guide who was attentive and well cared for, and who could follow me with peace of mind. He also taught me about American history.

Day Tours in Washington - The tour was intense but improveable, we did.the fast but fair tour of all the most important stops of this place, we could be guided further inside the.tappa to the natural history museum But all in all departure from New York at 6.45am with 4 hours of abundant bus, stop x breakfast after 2 hours of departure, and then tour start. End of tour at about 16. Return to New York in about 4.50 hours.
