Washington DC Morning or Night-Time Express Sightseeing Monuments Tour

This tour was disappointing. I had done something similar a few years ago so I had an idea of what it should be and was excited to share the experience with my husband and friend. This basically ended up being a "drive by" of most monuments. If we did stop, you had 10 minutes. We heard a lot about the trees blocking the view because that's 80%of what we got - views from inside the bus (windows weren't even clean). Driver didn't even leave the bus when we did stop. A dangerous drive. An "exchange" between the driver and park patrol due to the drivers reckless driving. The driver loves the horn! What a way to take the joy and excitement out of the tour. The driver was also very unfriendly! My husband loves everyone. Not this driver. He was very rude, ignored questions from the passengers, and just plain unpleasant. The ticket said water included. Nope. The driver rudely said there was no water and that we were misled by "a third party" vendor. He told one passenger to go ask for water from another unrelated bus. He told another one to go to the water fountain. I could go on but I won't. I would never recommend this company and I would reconsider having this trip on your site.

I was really excited about this tour to explore all the iconic monuments in DC. However, upon boarding the bus, I was disappointed to find out that there was no water available despite it being mentioned on my ticket. The driver's unfriendly demeanor didn't help either. When I inquired about the water, he dismissively directed me to another bus. It was disheartening to receive such a response, especially considering the price of the ticket. Throughout the tour, the driver continued to disappoint. He ignored questions, drove recklessly, and even attracted attention from a police officer for his behavior. The lack of safety measures and the uncomfortably hot conditions inside the bus made the experience even worse. His rudeness towards passengers was the final straw for me, and I seriously considered leaving the tour halfway through. Overall, I cannot recommend this tour to anyone. The unprofessionalism and disregard for passenger comfort exhibited by the driver made it a disappointing and potentially unsafe experience.

We booked the tour through Viator but the guide had no record of my husband and I so we had to send over a copy of our tickets to someone on the phone which was not a great way to start. Enjoyed seeing the sights at night. We got very close to the White House which was really cool. The city is quite beautiful at night. Our guide could have been better, I always prefer tours where the guide is not just pointing out sights but telling some history and stories to engage you. Our guide was focused on making sure we knew were we were around the city providing street names and directions, also helpful but not my preference. The other thing that was annoying was that he kept telling us we were behind schedule. I am not sure how that happened as it was a 730pm tour and there were no tickets to get into sites.
