Great tour but....
Buki_O
, Jun 2022
Wonderful tour and time management. Sadly attractions that one would have loved to get the best view of, were restricted, thus, leaving one with no choice but to walk around as much as possible to get the best view from afar (note that this was not the fault of the tour guide nor tour company but a little headsup would've sufficed). PA system needs a little more tweak as it was hard to hear the guide from the back of the bus sometimes. But tour in general was awesome.

Seeing the Lincoln memorial and White House, something that I have wanted to do all of my life. The driver and tour guide were both superb and a credit to your company. The only slight drawback was the amount of time between eating food. We had breakfast at 7am and didn’t have an opportunity to eat again until 330pm, perhaps an earlier stop between Washington and Philadelphia might be a good idea. All in all a great day, thank you
Very Satisfied

The Optical Monument was the upmost point. I lost contact with the coach and the bus at the Lincoln Memorial. Had to return home on my own. Terrible experience. I don't recommend.
Response from Host , May 2022
Dear Amig@
We appreciate your comments and we are very sorry this situation has overshadowed your experience, it is very important to have phone and internet coverage, this in case of loss, you can contact us or locate us through google maps. Out of respect for the time of the other tourists who have arrived on time to the meeting point, we must continue with the experience.

Frustrating Day.......
chris_b
, Apr 2022
Was really looking forward to doing this full day tour but knew straight away how it was gonna go when people started pushing in and arguing about wanting to get on the coach first as they were in an Italian party,meant to leave at 5am yet was still there at 5.15 due to an over booking meaning there wasn't enough seats.As the tour started it was pretty clear that the Italian group at the front of the coach spoke no English as they were shouting and moaning at the Tour guide woman who then had to do really long explanations in Italian that just seem to take over the whole tour leaving everyone else feeling left out.Add that to the fact the same group were coming back late all the time dispite being told we'd go without them if they weren't back on time,caused us to have less time at certain attractions which was frustrating.Then they started a loud sing a long which personally I had no problem with but after about the 6th song being played loudly on one of there phones one of the passengers further down on the bus snapped and came down having a go at them,made things feel a little bit awkward.Eating at the same services both times didn't help as there wasn't much choice there,I thought we were gonna eat in Wahington or Philly....obviously not...again the time allowed to eat both times was short ...It was a long hard day and the 3 of us and the people around us honestly couldn't wait for it to be over...

Janet our tour guide was very helpful. Every step of the way she was there to help everyone. She also shared the interesting historical facts in each of the important sites we visited including the history of each states we pass by the bus.
Horrible. do not book with them
Jirair_A
, Jan 2022
horrible. i wish i could give them negative stars. these people took us in the storme and they were unprepared. they didnt even have shavels to clear the snow. no snow tires, no snow chains. we got trapped in the storm for 4 hours and they didnt even give us water. we were all hungry and thirsty for 15 hours. and our tour lady act like she didnt even care. then she fourced her plan on us to continue. and then she just disappears,keeping all of us in the cold for 45 minutes. oh not to mention that she lost one of the tourist and she was doing a stand up comedy about it and laughing. then it was dark and cold that she wanted to take us to Philly that we started arguying with her to take us back to NY. and she did take us to NY and we missed Philly due to her being unorgenized. they knew the storm was coming and washington is closed so they should have cancelled the trip or be more prepared. our tour lady was not communicating with us. we didnt know what the next step is. these people have no idea what customer service is. horrible people bad management. i hope they go out of business soon cuz they are playing with peoples lives. and now they wouldnt refund me for the service not provided. please keep your money or book with a different companies. they are not amigos they are malamigos. avoid this like the plague.

Worst experience ever
Dina_Z
, Jan 2022
Worst trip ever! The tour guide told us about a snowstorm that was coming to Washington DC. Instead of canceling the trip we started driving off to Washington. At 07 we stopped for breakfast and then continued the trip. 1 hour away from Washington we were stuck in the storm for almost 4 hours. Then we quickly got to take pictures of the Congress building. Keep in mind that our guide spoke English in an accent that none of us understood. She barely told us anything about where we were going or the history of the buildings we were promised to visit. After we took our pictures she left behind one passenger cause "it was suspicious if the bus kept driving around the Congress and the police would come". So the poor guy was left in the snow all alone.
We quickly rushed to the White house. The streets were closed and we got to take pictures from a long distance. Then when we got to the Lincon building she literally dropped us off and took off with her driver and left us in the cold for 45 minutes! No tour guide about the building or showing us where everything was. She drove off and we all were left in the cold freezing and confused. Then it was time for something to eat. We haven't had anything to eat for 9 hours now.
They keep driving and driving and telling us that we'll stop and go to McDonald's before driving to Philadelphia. We pass a lot of drive thrus and restaurants but she refuse to let the passengers go eating because "everything is closed". She claimed that she called all the restaurants beforehand and that every store was closed. When I confronted her about it she told me that all the roads were closed but we could cleary see cars driving off to the sections she told us were closed.
After 3 hours (now 12 hours without food) they stop at a "food court". Here they had a Dunkin Donuts shop and a store where you could buy potato chips and sandwiches with tuna. They probably have a deal here cause we saw the guide get free food.
Now we're getting back to the bus and she show us a picture on her phone where it said that Philadelphia had 3 inch snow. She told us that we couldn't go there but that we could get a refund.
Me and my sister sat behind her in the bus and we saw that she texted her manager that we weren't going to Philly because of the snow. The manager answered that the other busses already got to Philly and that the roads were open and then she answered that it was the passenger that didn't want to go there! Since she told us about the refund I didn't take time to argue with her.
We started driving at 05 am and were back at 11 pm in New York. Now she has the nerve to demand gratitudes!
I contacted Viator about a refund. I only want 50% of my money back since she did get us to Washington even though the experience was awful. But now Viator won't give me my money back claiming that we didn't go to Philly because of the snowstorm. The snowstorm ended at 5 pm! The roads were clean! The other busses got there but somehow we couldn't. And the manager try to blame it on the snow but we saw the guide text her manager claiming that the passengers didn't want to go. A scam! She even told us that we could get a refund and now they won't give me my money back!
So please reconsider using this service! And don't go on this tour! You will be left behind in a city far away in the snow.

Thank you for your opinion and we are sorry for this inconvenience. We are investigating the case, be sure to be attentive to the information provided by your agency, remember that they are the ones who made the charge, and only they can proceed to some kind of refund, prior to an investigation.

Tour was mostly in Spanish with minimal English translation
Julie_H
, Dec 2021
Carlos the tour guide was very nice and had a great upbeat attitude trying to make sure everyone felt included but there was an incident with the bus driver Elvis where he yelled at me to get off the bus. I’m disabled & had an accident where I injured my leg 2 days before the trip. I tried to cancel the activity but no one answered the phone. My other issue is that there was only 3 of us that spoke English & everyone else was from a Spanish speaking country so the entire day everything was being explained in Spanish. It was very clear that we weren’t getting the same info when he would talk in Spanish for 5 minutes and English 30 seconds. This happened all day. They should’ve listed on the site this would be a bilingual tour! It says it’s in English but that is false advertising. I would never have booked this tour if I knew it would be primarily in Spanish all day.

Awesome tour guide, great sites. Comfortable bus. Quick trip time. The Capitol building had an official memorial service, so we couldn't view it up close, but it was still great from behind the barricades
Great Experience

We had a great time! It was so good to get on the bus and explore two different cities. The commentator was great and driver as well. Both very sweet people. I would most definitely do it again.

Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia was an outstanding experience. Ms. Janette was a great tour host and Mr. Elvis was a great driver.
It would be nice to schedule a tour to the White House.

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
