First class trip. It's a long day but you get a good lot of photo ops at all the main sites. Tour guides were exceptional, very knowledgeable and seemed to be able to speak in 100 languages! Well worth doing if you don't mind a bit of travelling. Top notch!

The tour guide was informative and humorous, discussed sites on the bus, and gave us free time to explore on your own when you're actually there. The down side was that there was no sign on or at the bus as the booking confirmation stated there would be.

While visiting NYC, we took the Washington DC day trip. The trip to DC is four hours there, four hours in DC and 4 hours back to NYC. That sounds like it could have been a very rough day, but it wasn't. It was wonderful. We stopped half-way up and half-way back for breaks. The tour guides were EXCELLENT. We were on kind of an "international" trip with about 30 people, both Americans and Europeans. It was great. The guides could speak like 4 or 5 languages between them. Stopped and got out at all the key DC sites. The Capitol Building, Washington Monument, White House, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam, Korean and WWII Memorials, and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. We could not have asked for a better experience, fulfilled all our expected goals.

Wonderful trip. Guide was excellent, very informative without going into too much depth. Definitely recommend this trip.

The trip is definitely worth doing, and the tour guide was super. My only negative comment is that it would have been nicer if the coach was newer and more luxurious, considering it's a five hour ride each way! It was rather tired and old looking.

Washington seems to be a rather "boring" city - but the sites we visited during the four hours of our stay was worth the trip anyhow.

The Washington DC tour was very enjoyable and covered most things we wanted to see. Our only complaint was that we would have liked longer to explore the other museums nearby.

It is definitely a trip worth taking, especially if you have never been to DC. I would recommend the trip to anyone. We had an excellent tour guide, which always makes a trip more enjoyable.

Spending one week in NY in total the day trip to Washington definitely was a highlight of my holiday. The tour guide did a great job making the tour as interesting and enjoyable as possible, though the bus was very old-fashioned, air-conditioning not working properly, very narrow and uncomfortable seats and the engine made some very weird noises. We spent enough time at the White House and the monuments to take plenty of photos, though would have preferred to stay a little longer instead of spending 90 min at the Air and Space Museum. Although it was a little exhausting spending over 9 hours in that bus, we had a great time in Washington and would recommend that trip.

It was a really good tour, but one day is really not enough to see everything properly.
