The tour was exactly what we needed to see DC in a day. It captured major parts of DC. My family loved it.

We started at Union Station. The girl at the kiosk was extremely helpful! We had purchased the Classic tickets, so we started on the red loop. Our live guide was very humorous and informative. When we reached the Washington monument, we switched to the Blue loop, as recommended. Our goal was to get to Georgetown and that is where the Blue Loop took us. Fun afternoon!

Took the 2 day pass for Washington DC. Should have taken the 3 day, cause if you really want to see everything you probably need 4-5 days. Once we realized that we had to catch the bus in DC ( we were staying in Alexandria) we found out that we needed to take the Water Taxi over to the Wharf, which was a really nice trip and quite inexpensive, plus we had a coupon with our bus ticket, for a free round trip ticket. We did the Red and Blue lines.
Very informative and the Bus app is helpful.

Gives you a great overall view of the sights in DC, and gives you the option to stop and see more of one sight. They also have a couple of routes of sightseeing; and these routes have common stops so you can hop to a different site. Great way to see as much as possible in a short time. Can buy a 1-day or 2-day pass.

We found the trips tour guides to be in formative and friendly! Did find one to be a bit pushy about receiving a tip to the point where she passed around a bag for tips!! The journey is designed to show as many of the major sites possible and the route was spot on!! Could find at the most popular sites to re-board may incur a long wait if the bus fills up!

We loved the package we got through Cool Destinations with Big Bus. Lots included, and so easy to use and informative. Agents at Cool Destinations were not very familiar with the package, and when I called a couple times before traveling, I got differing information so I was concerned going. However, the bus drivers were great, and everything that was supposed to be included in the package really was. Very happy!

This was the first time we used the Big Bus. We were very pleased. The guides were wonderful and very informative. We will do this again the next time we are in Washington DC.
