Loved the on and off feature of the tour around DC. Able to see all the hot spots, and have the ability to enjoy the day at my own pace. Definitely worth the price! More

So glad my husband booked this tour for us and our older teens. Everyone enjoyed the 3 hour tour after a long day of walking. The breeze was blowing through the open windows and our guide was filling us in on all the history behind the city and buildings as we came to them. Passed close by several monuments (stopped...

this was one of our kids and our favorites in DC. We were exhausted after walking all day, so for someone to drive us around and tell us about the city and the sites was wonderful More

My friend and I only had two and a half days in DC and didn't know how we'd see all we had on our list. We spent the first day mastering the Metro (which isn't hard), trying to get into the city (it was a Saturday) and seeing one museum. We quickly realized that we were not going to make... More

Feedback on tour guide: Ellie During my recent two-day visit to DC, rode Old Towne Trolleys often. All of the guides were great, but Ellie stood out to me because I learned more from her than all of the others. I believe this is because she has been in DC all of her life, so knew things none of the... More

A great way to get around the city. Regular buses which were never full. But what impressed us most was the knowledge of the drivers, wow they knew so much and we learned different things from different drivers in the same area. Safety is paramount to the drivers and whenever anyone new joined the bus they always reminded us all... More

We selected Old Town Trolley tours after reading reviews on this company and others (some recommended by friends) and finding it most convenient for our one day (quicky excursion) from Baltimore harbor. We arrived at Union Station (a sight to see in itself) with rain just starting about noon, and later than we had hoped to arrive. None the less,... More

We used Old Town Trolley to explore Washington, DC during our first visit. The guides were knowledgeable, articulate and congenial. The trolley offers an easy way to see the major sights. The Monuments By Moonlight Tour should not be missed. You can book your tickets on line and save time and money. More

We took this tour our first evening in D.C. It was a wonderful way to relax in the evening and get a layout of the town. The monuments have a different feel in the evening. Our tour guide was very personable and new a lot about D.C. they you don't get with other tours. The cost was reasonable. I definitely... More

I am so glad that I chose Old Towne Trolley Tours while recently visiting Washington DC. The drivers are very knowledgeable and humorous, which makes it a lot of fun. I started the tour a bit late so I didn't get off on any of the stops but still really enjoyed it. I would definitely use this company again the... More
