It was awesome to see all of the stuff along the route. We tried to board on stop 15....not aware that the stop was not in service... we waited for 45 minutes then walked to another stop. The driver said said it was cancelled for the day. This should have been noted on the site.

Ticketing was very easy. Boarding the bus was also easy. We left the driving up to Nick, our bus driver.

Ticketing was fine. Busses were irregular. Waited forever at Airand Space. Did have one excellent driver. Helpful and friendly who picked me up at stop 13 yesterday around 11 am.

Well worth the price. Got us around to some main landmarks and saved miles of extra walking. Ordered on line the night before and met at a spot near our hotel.

It was great. The buses didn't run all that often given it was winter and the cruise was not available which was a shame.

Ebenezer at the check in was outstanding. He was helpful with a few people in our group who had some ticket issues. The bus driver was also sweet -- and we saw him drive so carefully even when others around him were not and he avoided a major collision due to his quick thinking and awareness. I can't say enough about the staff! Thank you!

It's convenient to hop on and off of course but we especially loved our cruise on the Potomac from DC to Georgetown where we were staying. it was lovely and moved at a perfectly slowish pace, very calming.

The bus made it easy to get to the points of interest saving time and energy. Especially nice if you've never been to DC. The mall is much longer than one would think. We were able to see the White House from the bus. The view from street level is hampered by many fences and barriers.

You can see the highlights of the city and visit them afterwards. Be careful how long it takes to get back to your starting point, as we had to walk back because the driver had finished his shift. Too bad it spoiled the experience a bit.

It would have been much better to have a live guide. The audio didn't identify many of the buildings and it was difficult to understand at times. Our bus broke down but our driver was very nice and helpful.

Easy process checking in. Everyone was friendly and courteous. The Red Loop covered all of the monuments and important buildings tourist want to see, and the price was reasonable.
