      Embarrassingly awful
      Firstly, the bus to pick us up was late. Everyone was confused, and wondering if we were at the right location. This tour mentions they have an English/Spanish speaking tour guide, but it was a native Spanish, and very limited English speaker. The members of the group that did not speak Spanish were completely left out. The bus was extremely uncomfortable. Make sure to bring A LOT of blankets and pillows (as if it's not an inconvenience to carry all of this when traveling). We were told we would arrive in the morning to a place where we can "freshen up", which was really a McDonald's, and I don't know how much "freshening up" you can do there. When we were leaving the bus breaks down and we were stranded in the middle of nowhere while we wait for another person that's hours away to bring another bus. Due to the very long delay we asked to be accommodated and dropped off elsewhere (because others were doing the same). The guide simply ignored me and only paid attention to the woman that was demanding to be dropped off in New Jersey. To sum it up, the staff didn't speak English and was incredibly rude, and the bus was in such bad conditions it broke down in the middle of the highway. Don't travel with Interviajes: horrible, unorganized and ghetto.

      Great tour to Washington
      Great tour. We had the Washington day trip from NY. It was a great experience. The guide was very informative and we had a great time.

      Bad experience with booking of New York to Washington day tour with Interviajes.
      I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with the service I received from your agency regarding my recent travel booking. This trip was highly anticipated and meticulously planned, with all necessary arrangements made well in advance. However, to my utter dismay, I received a notification at the last minute informing me that my reservation had been canceled due to overbooking. This unexpected cancellation has caused significant inconvenience and distress, disrupting my travel plans and leading to both personal and financial repercussions. I understand that overbooking can occasionally occur, but I believe it is the responsibility of the travel agency to manage bookings efficiently and communicate promptly to avoid such last-minute disruptions. In this case, the notice provided was not only untimely but also left me with limited alternatives and additional expenses.

      Excellent day. Close to the action.
      They get you really close to all the attractions but there is a surprise on the way back to NYC. A view of the city to die for. Save some battery life on your phone/camera!

      Washington DC day tour
      Lucas was a very knowledgeable guide, he provided funny and interesting facts throughout the tour. He was always very concerned that all members of the group were accounted for, definitely recommend this tour for any first timer to Washington DC

      Great city to visit.
      Easy to get around and so many famous landmarks to visit. The reality was better than expected and the city wasn’t as frenetic as expected. I found the cafes and restaurants very limited and many had shut or closed down. Subway worked well and made travel simple but it was very tired and in major need to major overhaul. The highlight was the Hudson River Park on sunny Saturday morning with thousands out enjoying the views and magnificent piers all renovated and landscaped.

      Great experience with a great team
      Great experience, Emily did a very good job. It is a long trip but the bus is very comfortable and leaving late at night was a good idea as we were one of the first there so could take a really nice photos. We also managed to come back around 8pm but this was Tuesday so maybe less traffic. Two drivers which swap every few hours so it feels safe. I recommend this trip.

      Don't Waste Your Time
      Guide had a relatively thick accent, and was difficult to understand at times, especially when he mispronounced words. He also gave a lot of misinformation - the most egregious of which was his assertion that one does not own real estate in America but only the buildings located on the real estate (!!) with all the real estate being owned by the government. He also seemed driven to perpetuate the belief that New York City is absolutely rife with crime and murders; mocked the Hasidic Jews for their dietary restrictions, their strict sexual morality, (claiming that they are extremely powerful, own almost all the banks in America, blaming them for the fact that Mel Gibson's career exploded when his anti-Semitic rant caused him to become toxic several years ago, asserting that married Hasidic women wear wigs because they have shaved off all of their hair, etc). .

      A quick yet effective way to know Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn.
      Short for so much to see yet complete. Ask for Sandra, an amazing guide that tell you much more about NYC than the ride it self.

    I was guided by the opinions that many people left, but I was disappointed.
    The guide Lucas is friendly as everyone points out, but the tour consists of traveling and being on the bus a lot and doing little or no exploring of Washington. The worst thing was that at the end it was time to have lunch and enjoy the space museum and they told us that it was closed for renovations. When I checked the museum's website it was fully open. Therefore, they lied to us and took us somewhere else to have lunch, which I'm sure they have some agreement with some food place there, otherwise, it doesn't explain why they took away the most attractive thing in Washington DC, such as the space museum and the air.

    Lucia sentimos mucho que la excursion no alla llenado tus expectativas, la excursion se realiza tal cual se describe en el itinerario. Se hacen paradas para caminar por los monumetos y en otras se da tiempo libre para que caminen libremente. Ten presente que conocer una ciudad en un dia es imposoble pero abarcamos lo mas importante y embrematico. El museodel Aire y el Espacio de momento se encuentra en remodelacion la mayor parte, solo esta habilitada para visitar una tercera arte y por ello se debe hacer una reservacion previa para poder ingresar. El guia puede hacer sugerencias para aprovechar mas el tiempo pero siempre los clientes estan en libertad de opinar. Un saludo,

    We are a couple from Barcelona and we did the tour with Lucas. If the tour to Washington is already TOP in itself, imagine it with Lucas, what a phenomenon, a great guy who will make you have a great time at all times and always with a touch of... TASTYUUUUUURA!!!

    The tour was very interesting, I highlight the attention of Guide Carlos who informed us extensively about the places we visited, being very clear and pleasant in his comments, he was accompanied by Sandra from Interviajes and Captain Mario driving the ship! Thank you all very much for your cordiality! I recommend the Tour

    Very good trip, the guide Lucas is a spectacle, super fun, he explains and teaches you everything wonderfully, very good advice. Very friendly, he offers to take photos so that everything turns out perfect.
    A marvel!
    He recommended where to eat during the tour and the shops, with big brands and prices, and also what to do during the stay and how to get around NY.
    Highly, highly recommended without a doubt, also very enlivened with its songs and music.

    Everything was perfect, we did two excursions, Washington and contrasts. In both cases, both Martín and Francisco were phenomenal guides and drivers. They are a torrent of information and, although it takes much more time, they offered us a good dose of data.
    Totally recommended.

    It was a nice trip to see the highlights of DC! My daughter and husband have never been and this trip caught the most plus the driver made it a point to stop for quick photo ops when possible that were neat!! Really enjoyed it and appreciated the guide suggestions on where to take the best pics. No time wasted which was nice because it was HOT out!

    Today, August 22, we took this excursion. It's been fantastic. The guide Lucas gave us a wonderful excursion. And with a lot of knowledge about history.

    Pura Uva, the driver was a professional. There have been no problems during the journey. A charming man and very kind.

    Thank you Lucas for making us spend an unforgettable day. Whenever I talk about Whasinttong, I will remember how special you made the excursion for us.
    What we have laughed at.

    Keep it up. I wish you both Lucas and Pura Uva all the best. Thanks for everything !!!

    Very good tour. We repeated with Lucas after doing the contrasts tour with him. Lucas makes it very entertaining, I even feel so many hours on the bus.
    And Don Enrique, the driver, very friendly and efficient.
    Highly recommended to see Washington DC in one day!
