Great tour of DC. Loved the hop on hop off. We bought the two day pass and were able to use it for 48 hours. This was nice because we got a late start the first day. The audio was great.

Excellent experience! Drove straight to the parking at the Hilton National Mall (you can search and prepay) , walked a short block and hopped on. Great way to visit DC. Highly recommend!

I Recommend big bus hop on and hop off. It really saves a lot of walking to all the memorials and getting around DC. We had a good experience with this company.

Buses are few and far between. Viator tickets weren’t accepted by agent and had to repurchase on spot. Viator help unavailable. Not a ideal transaction.

WE travelled with this service 4 years ago and it was great. Many stops, good explanations and lots of routes. Now basically there is one route and its shorter than it was before. Busses are dirty and in need of repair

A safe & easy way to visit all the top sites in Washington DC. My only suggestion is that they replace some of the recorded music with information and stories about the sites. We drove by some pretty noteable landmarks to just music playing
