Picked the worst day to use the trolley with much traffic. The stars are for the drivers whom were amiable and knowledgeable.
While the route encompassed the right spots, the wait for the trolley was longer than anticipated. While there were extenuating circumstance, there was a parade on the day we went, still did not expect the waiting time.
We waited for the trolley for over an hour two different times during the course of a seven hour day. That was not okay.
FANTASTIC-Our first driver was GREAT, sorry I have forgotten his name but he picked us up
between 11 and 12 that morning, but both drivers were very informative and friendly! I have already recommended your services.
The three drivers we had were knowledgeable and funny. There were not enough seats available on the trolley stop at the Lincoln Memorial.
Good way to get some info
Great trip that covered all the major sites. Some of the drop off points were quite a walk from the major attractions and unfortunately the wether wasn't good so we didn't end up hopping off very much! The drivers were very informative, but some of the trolleys were in need of repair and the windows wouldn't shut and we ended up very cold and wet!
My first tour guide / bus driver was not very informative. She drove very fast and made ridiculous jokes. She kept ringing the bell when no one laughed; this gave me a headache. I was very relieved by the second driver who was very informative. I felt misinformed by the clerk at the ticket stand when I was checking in; he said the trolley would stop at each site for a few minutes, allowing for pictures then I could determine if I wanted to stay or go. Overall it was not bad but to get the most out of it you need to start pretty early in the day, as well as get good informative drivers.
This was a wonderful way to get around the downtown DC area. I was traveling alone and did not have a car, so I greatly appreciated the transportation and the ongoing information shared by the drivers. After two days of using the trolley, I had learned lots--thanks!
good
Trying to find the right place to start this adventure was the greatest challenge. The folks in D.C. were very helpful, but the directions were not the best. The place to be at "stop 4" was very confusing, and we actually got on the wrong bus to finally get to union station to get on the right trolley. Did lots of walking, so another stop near the Bureau of E and P, between 7 and 8 would be helpful.
My guide was Uncle Dave and he was GREAT!!!!!!
We had a very good experience. The drivers were informative and pleasant.
Thank You. I saw Washington, like I've never seen it before,easy to get around and just very nice. Suggestion: Maybe add The New Shuttle with a bus service @ Dulles Airport, I'd pay extra for it,..Using Metro, "ok" but direct service would be alot better,...,.., IE a day trip *Never the less, helpful and excellent service!

The first trolley we started out on had a driver named Michael. He was great, nice speaker.
The only issue we had and I know it was a very busy weekend in DC was when we got off at FDR/MARTIN LUTHER KING Memorials. We saw the orange trolley coming so we stood up where there were no busses and the driver waved us to go down a ways. After getting there only to be told there were no seats. He could have said that earlier. the driver coming back we could hardly hear him speaking. All in all it was a great option to get around and see the sites. Would recomemend it to others and will use your services again. Thank you, Teresa
