I was really looking forward to this tour and was very disappointed. The trolley is not comfortable and the sound system was weak. We were given 30 minutes to view Lincoln's Memorial, The Korean War Memorial and the Viet Nam wall. That simply is not enough time. I was also disappointed that the WWII memorial was not on the tour. You do not stop at the Jefferson Memorial but have 15 minutes at the Iwo Jima statute. It did not make sense to me. All in all it was not a good experience.

To begin with I would say that this is the most disorganized tour entity I've ever experienced. Don't waste your money on it. You can walk faster to most points. The first day we turned our voucher at #1 stop, waited 15 minutes trolley never showed up. Walked to #2 stop( White House) after that never saw another trolley all day. Second day Got tow rides from #6 stop to Jefferson /Licoln memorial. Hardley woth the $118 I paid

The drivers were fabulous! They were knowledgeable and entertaining. However, the trolley stops were not clearly marked and as it grew later in the day it become a longer wait for a trolley. One stop by the Jefferson Memorial, after walking quite a distance to the stop, we waited over 30 minutes, just to have a trolley stop that had no room for us. This happened again by the Museum of Natural History.

This was a nice way to visit many (though not all) of the major monuments and memorials, and the persepctive experienced at night was quite memorable. Would have preferred nixxing the FDR Memorial in favor of the Jefferson, and maybe getting out to view the White House rather than just drive by. But all in all, tour was worth it. Sitting on the left or right of the trolley didn't really seem to matter in re: which side had the better views, contrary to reviews we'd read before the trip. Our guide Darin was very good - his restaurant recommendations were spot on!

Outstanding tour! Tour guide, Bill Thomas was exceptional: friendly, well informed and articulate. The memorials we saw sparkled in the darkness and the three stops during wish we had time to get out of the bus and spend time were inspiring. We walked around 1. FDR and MLK, Jr. memorial, 2. Lincoln, World War II and Viet Nam memorials and 3. Iwo Jima statue. From the bus we saw and learned the history of Arlington Cemetery (the Lees,
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the eternal light flickering at JFK's gravesite), Jefferson Memorial and other historic areas.
It was an awesome and educational night and
I recommend it with enthusiasm.

It was a greta tour. Our tour guide, Bill, was very knowledgable about the area. We stopped at the Iwo Jima memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial. Fun and informative at the same time!!!

We waited at Union Station while full buses arrived. We had to walk from the Jefferson Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial because of a traffic accident. The bus is good way to see all of the monuments in one day.

Wish it had not been raining! But it was still outstanding. The only thing - we didn't get to take pictures of the Jefferson Monument and some other things because we drove right by them quickly - could have been to stay on schedule. Our guide was INCREDIBLE! His stories and friendliness just made the tour extra special! Thank you. Thank you beautiful Washington. We'll do this again!
Review by PENELOPE T, Antigua and Barbuda, July 2008

There were just not enough trolley buses for the number of people. The first transport came along after 45 minutes and was only a shuttle where the driver said they were sick and couldn't talk much. The next stop took 3 buses to come by before one had room, it too was only a shuttle and only went as far as the Jefferson Memorial where we had to get off. Waited again for several buses until a shuttle came by with room. At our last hop off stop we were able to get the last 2 seats on the bus up with the driver and we did not even attempt to see any other sites as it was not worth risking not having transport back to Union Station for our Amtrak out. For the amount of money spent on the tour we would have been better off getting a taxi to each location. Very disappointed and would not recommend it. I went to the ticket counter when we got back to Union Station in order to request a full refund as per the satisfaction guarantee promise, but the counter was empty and closed so this was a double disappointment.
