Brilliant way to see the main sights of Washington DC and Philadelphia. The guide was excellent and provided tonnes of information regarding each location on the tour. A must-do if you're planning a trip to NYC and have a day to spare!

This is a full day tour and rather long but doable and worth the trip. We traveled through six states within twelve hours to see the major DC monuments and two in Philadelphia too. The bus was comfortable, roomy and full but the temp control was either too hot or too cool. There probably should have been a mask mandate due to all the coughing and sneezing onboard (my son did get COVID). Also there should be an age limit for who can attend, no toddlers due to the long amount of time on the bus. Not appropriate or considerate of other guests to have a crying child on the bus.

We attended the trip in October as a family (2 adult children and parents) and had a really great time! We were able to visit the main tourist attractions in one day. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to at least get a good impression of the cities! We would also like to thank our tour guide Alice! She was so sweet, friendly and humorous! She also made the trip unforgettable for us!
Greatings to Alice from the „elegant family“ ?

The trip was great, visiting the main attractions in Washington and Philly, with good amounts of time at the different locations. Carlos the guide was great, with lots of information in both English and Spanish, and a good sense of humour, and we felt safe with the way the bus was driven

Despite we expected a long trip, we spent 90% of the trip on the bus. In Washington we had very short time to visit the Museum and to watch the monuments but, we wasted more than one hour visiting different war-memorials which were not of our interest, especially when you have very limited time.
Same story for Philadelphia, visited in a big rush, despite it is a city very attractive. The main visit in Philadelphia was the "Rocky-Stairs", which is good for fans but definitely not the most beautiful monument of the city.
