00:09This tour is very recommended for those travelers from N.Y.
00:13It is convenient that can visit a new state with very knowledgeable tour guide, there is a quick stop in
00:19Delaware where guests can buy some snacks and enjoy the ride to Washington.
00:23The best part of this tour is when you can be able to visit the top tourist spot in just
00:28one day.
00:30This might look expensive but it's all worth it.
00:33If you drive or take the train the cost might be the same.
00:37This is very convenient with bus waiting for you, bringing you to the top tourist spots.
00:43Tour guides are highly knowledgeable of the history of the place.
00:47Your security will also be assured with this tour.
00:51Yuta was a knowledgeable guide speaking both English and German.
00:55Everything ran on time and tour delivered as advertised.
00:59Great day trip from New York if you're short on time.
01:03Sufficient stops for food and toilet breaks.
01:06We'd recommend doing the tour.
01:09Highly recommended for those who has limited time in New York but want to visit Washington, D.C.
01:15Very informative tour guide who can speak English and one more language, Japanese, German, Spanish etc.
01:23Although it takes 4 hours to go, and another 4 hours to come back, the bus is comfortable enough for
01:29a good nap.
01:30Time spent in each spot is adequate, except for the museum plus lunch as it took some time to queue
01:36up to get inside, however it's still acceptable provided it's a date trip only.
01:42Since we were the only ones in the group who signed up for the Chinese tour, and we happened to
01:47have a tour guide, Benjamin, who could speak Chinese, it felt like we had personal service.
01:53The overall introduction was excellent.
01:56Although there were some initial awkward moments with Chinese grammar, he consciously adjusted as he went along, making it easy
02:04to understand.
02:05He also recommended many attractions, explained tipping etiquette, provided insights into the local history and culture, and suggested New York
02:14restaurants.
02:14He even helped us take photos.
02:18This tour is definitely a great choice for traveling with elders, highly recommended.
02:23The only drawback was that it coincided with the visit of the President of Ukraine, so the area around the
02:29White House was heavily secured.
02:31We could only see it from a distance, and it took us a while to find several spots to get
02:36even that distant view.
02:38I heard it would be a rush trip before and now I totally agreed.
02:43But it's extremely worthy to go as it's so great to see the landmarks in Washington.
02:49The tour was very efficient and our guide was very insightful and helpful.
02:53We found our way to the bus right away and got dropped off safely too.
02:59Overall it was a great experience.
03:02You do spend 4.5 hours in this trip traveling just one way.
03:07Hence you get very limited time exploring the place.
03:10The lunch stop too is combined with the museum sightseeing.
03:14Hence the sightseeing was a bit rushed.
03:17The tour guide Carlos was very good and did an awesome job of talking about places and its histories.
03:24No food or refreshments were served which I thought was a bummer.
03:27They did cover all places in the limited time that was available.
03:32Better to have one guide to explain and translate to other languages to respect for foreign tourists alternately rather than
03:39they talk together one time with different languages to explain.
03:43This is a bit annoying.
