The Washington DC Sightseeing Flex Pass: Capital Savings

You don't really need the pass as you can do it walking and additional attractions the vast majority are free unless you want a tour. Shopping the pass and getting on the bus once comes out as q used the ticket and you can not claim but used it at the attractions when calling to claim you are told q can not make a refund because q took the bus and explained that only once and by punching the ticket is meant q total use which was not so since the attractions q supposedly includes you can do it for free well unsatisfied ahhh and the insurance q is paid impose it on you in the system I do not buy those types of passes again better see the influencers q explain you better.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY! If you're looking for a pass where you're actually able to choose each of the items that you want to do without issue in Washington DC, this isn't it. It looks great from the outset, until you realize that for the night monument tour, you have to arrive the morning of in person in order to be added to the tour and can only be added if there's room. However, anyone buying the bike monument tour online through the company can request it anytime in advance ONLINE. We were there for 7 days and EVERY DAY it was SOLD OUT. The Washington Monument, a classic visiting place, except that it also sells out, closes for potential storms, slight mist, possibility of wind, etc. Each time we tried to go, it also was not available. So all in all, we were able to use 3 of the items given, however, this did not in fact save us any money. We still spent over what those would have cost for our family of 5. Reviews have also listed numerous things that were included with their pass that are no longer included or were not included the summer of '24. Make sure you check their website BEFORE you buy to make sure it makes financial sense for you and anyone you're going with.

Let me save you some money. We took the 4 sights explorer card. First, we left our baggage at the station for a fee to make the evening bike tour. BUT the address in the description was not updated and we were rushing through the whole city for nothing. The bike tour happens ONLY if other tourists booked it directly with the company. So, next day there was no evening tour, neither morning Capitol Hills. Thus, we could hardly use all the number of paid experiences. Then BigBus which is included in any pass: the equipment was defect, so the sound quality was awful. We took the water taxi till Georgetown, just to make a bit more of our pass. Inside the boat there is no fresh air, outside - it's impossible to hear any guide, and you don't get earphones for that. Then we finally got one bike tour. If you do it, call their office to find them, it was still challenging. BUT the stuff was unfriendly, they didn't check our bikes and helmets, coz were in hurry to start the tour with other tourists. Thus, I had the wrong helmet size, while my husband's bike breaks were broken. In the evening, we thought to go to the Artechouse exhibition that is included, again, just to use the pass. BUT it works only a few days a week. And it was closed. Next morning, we headed to Arlington for the tour. The location link was sent to the wrong meeting point. The company and the tour guide in particular were doing it for the first time. The description said it had to be a one hour tour, so everyone in the group planned accordingly. We had train tickets booked. However, the tour was supposed to be 2,5 h instead, and we had to live early and saw very little. Here we are, still didn't use our passes and extremely disappointed with the experience. Total waste of money.
