Fantastic 5.0
Tour was a quick way to catch a glimpse of DC from NY. The departure was timely, ride was safe and Bryan was a fantastic guide throughout. He kept us informed, entertained and comfy. I would give 6 stars if I could! The timing can be a bit tight and early, but you will live :)

Thank you, kind guide, for the explanation. I was happy to hear you like Korean dramas. The schedule from 10 AM to 4 PM felt too short. It would have been better if it had been from 9 AM to 5 PM. ^^ Washington D.C. was great. I'm heading to New York now, leaving with a bit of regret, hoping for another chance to experience it more fully next time.

Had an amazing time exploring Washington, DC and Philadelphia! The tour was a great way to see two historic cities in a short amount of time. From the iconic landmarks and monuments in DC to the historic streets and sites of Philadelphia, every stop was worth it. The itinerary was well-organized, the experience was smooth, and it was definitely a convenient way to explore both cities without having to plan everything on my own. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the East Coast, especially first-time travelers!

Buy your ticket in advance. You can wait for and board the bus at any stop (look for the small sign with the stop number on a pole by the roadside). You can get off and explore at any stop you like, which is very convenient. At some stops, you can pick up a physical map. If someone checks your ticket, just show them your QR code. After they give you a sticker to wear, you won't be checked again.
