What I did not like most of all is that we have too go from one corner of the city to the other to eat. We really did not have guide, he was just a bus driver.

Interesting. If you like war memorials, you will enjoy this tour a lot. We went in late March and there were long queues everywhere, I'd hate to be there during the summer holidays!

The trip to Mt Vernon was very nice as was the view of old Alexandria. I did not care to much for the Embassy Row tour, since it was nothing more than a rapid roll past and most of the buildings looked the same. Arlington was great. The whole trip started off badly because we were told it would leave at 8:30, was given a brochure when we picked up the tickets that said 8:30, only to find that the times had been changed. Once we got on the bus somewhere down the line, we were treated to an almost non-stop political assault by the driver. The driver is entitled to his political views, but I didn't pay money to hear them. He unfortunately has no idea of what my political views are, but I unfortunately had to listen to his. He should drive and leave the political commentary.

Too much time at Washington's house and cemetery. Tour could finish sooner and not have so much dead time.

We had a good day but the company was a little bit commercially minded, it lacked personal touch. Also you had to queue for a long time.

It was very difficult to understand our guide; at times it seemed he was just mumbling to himself. I was concerned about this because my father is hard of hearing, and we did pay a pretty penny for this trip. I was under the impression that all the monuments that we visited would be alloted a 45 minute visit. We spent 3 hours at Mt. Vernon, which could have been seen in less than 2 hours. We drove around town as the guide told us house prices, we ate lunch at a very dirty buffet. At Arlington Cemetery, we had to leave halfway through the changing of the guard because we were warned that we would be left behind if we stayed any longer. Finally, when we arrived at the Vietnam Memorial, the reason for the ENTIRE trip, we were alloted 40 minutes. That is a 4 mile circuit of things to see with 40 minutes to do so. Finally, at the end of our trip, after our 4 mile sprint around the Lincoln Memorial, my boyfriend explained to our guide how frustrated he was that we did not have more time at one of the THE most important stops of the entire tour.
