We didnt have very much time in Washington on this visit but I knew that I wanted to see the monuments at night (read this was a MUST) and I must admit the monuments are very beautiful at night and should be on the "Must See" list of everyone. I will say that I wish I had time to research... More

The bus tour was canceled, and we were not warned. There was no indication at the bus stop. We had to go into Union Station to the booth to find out. No help with reimbursement. A totally unsatisfying experience. More

Unfortunately our Tourmobile broke down at the beginning of the tour. We were abandoned by our guide and left to fend for ourselves. There was total disregard for the passengers which included and elderly gentleman walking with a cane. We were not given any explanation on what had happended to the vehicle or what we should do to proceed. The... More

We picked this up at Arlington Cemetery because it is the only tourbus trolley that actually goes through the cemetery and stops at the major areas for viewing. The tomb of the unknown soldier and changing of the guard is very moving as well as the tour info being told to us as we went through the cemetery. I read... More

Save your money. I found out after I went on the very empty tour bus that some other companies charge a lot less and others give you a free twilight tour if you do the day tour. The twilight tour is a must see. The Capitol building and monuments at night are spectacular, but when you can get it for... More

Tourmobile charges $32 for an adult ticket. The good part is that you can use the ticket for two days, and it includes a multi-stop tour of Arlington Cemetery. The bad part is that the price is the same for both high season and low season, even though the buses run 45 minutes apart in low season (compared to only... More

Considering we had to wait for ten people to ride our guide Tamara was so entertaining. Never would I have thought she could be full of so much info and still keeps us laughing. It was obvious her and the driver Tanya are a great team. The monuments were sp beautiful she guided us through 2 and I have the... More

For the $32/adult, you get 2 consecutive days, plus Arlington National Cemetary. Some tour guides were better than others. Never were any of them rude. But Mel was the best & most entertaining of all. Yes, the 4/4:30 end time could have been later to coincide with attraction closing times. But all in all worth it. Can you walk/take the... More

This was perfect for our needs. Park at Arlington (cheapest paid parking in the city, some monuments have free parking but spaces are limited) and ride the tram from there. We went all the way round first time and came back the next day to spend time where we wanted. Avoid the crowds and summer heat (buses are open air)... More

tour guides yelled in microphones. One named Victoria yelled at passengers. She was rude and nasty. It was very slow. We missed sightseeing times as we were sitting on a bus. I would use the public bus and subway instead of these tour companies. More
