We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this tour. Even though there were no other co-passengers, the team still went ahead and conducted the group tour just for us privately instead of canceling, which we truly appreciated and found very thoughtful. Our tour guide Mr Alper was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, sharing many fascinating stories and historical insights about America that made the experience even more meaningful. The tour was very informative and well organized, covering iconic landmarks such as the United States Capitol, Library of Congress, White House, Lincoln Memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, Washington Monument, National Mall, people house. We learned so much today and thoroughly enjoyed every stop. Overall, it was an excellent and memorable tour, and we highly recommend it—especially thanks to the dedication and knowledge of our fantastic guide Mr Alper.

it is a long drive from NY to Washington and Philly, it saved a lot of travelling time and fee if you do not or cannot drive yourself. But note, the tour is so packed that you cannot spend much time at each spots. Anyway, it fits for traveller without car and just want to have a Quick look of Washington and Phillys.
