this tour is very recommended for those travellers from NY. it is convenient that can visit a new state with very knowleageble tour guide, there is a quick stop in delaware where guest can buy some snacks and enjoy the ride to washington. the best part of this tour is when you can be able to visit the top tourist spot in just one day.

This might look expensive but it’s all worth it. If you drive or take the train the cost might be the same. This is very convenient with bus waiting for you, bringing you to the top tourist spots. Tour guides are highly knowledgeable of the history of the place. Your security will also be assured with this tour.

Jutta was a knowledgeable guide speaking both English & German. Everything ran on time & tour delivered as advertised. Great day trip from New York if you’re short on time. Sufficient stops for food & toilet breaks. We’d recommend doing the tour.

Review for: Join-in tour

Highly recommended for those who has limited time in New York but want to visit Washington DC! Very informative tour guide who can speak English and one more language (Japanese, German, Spanish etc). Although it takes 4 hours to go, and another 4 hours to come back, the bus is comfortable enough for a good nap. Time spent in each spot is adequate, except for the museum+lunch as it took some time to queue up to get inside; however its still acceptable provided it's a day trip only.

Review for: Join-in tour · Chinese

Since we were the only ones in the group who signed up for the Chinese tour, and we happened to have a tour guide, Benjamin, who could speak Chinese, it felt like we had personal service. The overall introduction was excellent. Although there were some initial awkward moments with Chinese grammar, he consciously adjusted as he went along, making it easy to understand. He also recommended many attractions, explained tipping etiquette, provided insights into the local history and culture, and suggested New York restaurants. He even helped us take photos. This tour is definitely a great choice for traveling with elders, highly recommended! The only drawback was that it coincided with the visit of the President of Ukraine, so the area around the White House was heavily secured. We could only see it from a distance, and it took us a while to find several spots to get even that distant view.

I heard it would be a rush trip before and now I totally agreed. But it's extremely worthy to go as it's so great to see the landmarks in Washington!

Review for: Join-in tour · English

Overall it was a great experience. You do spend 4.5hrs in this trip travelling just one way. Hence you get very limited time exploring the place. The lunch stop too is combined with the Museum site seeing. Hence the site seeing was a bit rushed. The tour guide Carlos was very good and did an awesome job of talking about places and its histories. No food or refreshments were served which I thought was a bummer. They did cover all places in the limited time that was available.

Better to have one guide to explain and translate to other languanges to respect for foreign tourists alternately rather than they talk together one time with different languages to explain. This is a bit annoying.

Review for: Join-in tour

This 1-day D.C. tour crams in the must-sees for busy travelers. Bilingual and very knowledgeable guide (Italian & English) navigates a tight itinerary with museum visits, a 75-minute D.C. lunch break, and even 30-minute stops on the way to and from the city! Heads Up: Expect brisk walking, especially at Arlington Cemetery (40 min). While the guide is accommodating, keep this in mind for those with limitations or seniors. Tipping is at your discretion, though a suggestion might be made at the end of the trip which I felt was a bit unusual. Perfect for maximizing your D.C. experience, this tour packs a punch, but be prepared for a fast pace and fun filled experience. Small bonus was also seeing a very close view of the Pentagon on our way
