Narrated tour helped us get our sense of direction on our first day in town. Water shuttle ride on the Potomac was relaxing. Bus into Arlington Cemetery took all the quess work out of figuring how to get across the bridge. Would recommend taking this bus tour on your first or second day in town.
From choosing the Holiday Inn, Rhode Island Avenue and being able to get transportation everywhere. The trolley picked us up at the Holiday Inn and we didn't need to move our car or ride Metro at all. The State Capitol building tour was better than the White House. You need to see the Library of Congress....amazing. Trip home via GPS was uneventful and leaving D C after noon was best time to avoid traffic
Enjoyed the hop on hop off the guide was very informative about all the sights had a wonderful time in washington
This tour was great! We left on a very nice charter bus and our tour guide Deon gave a lot of great information on the way to Mt. Vernon. On the way to Mt Vernon we stopped at George Washington’s church. We were given a lot of info and were able to tour the church and grounds. We even got to sit in George Washington’s booth in the church. When we reached Mt Vernon we had some time to look around before our tour of Washington’s house. It was amazing to see where our Founding Father lived and died. After the tour we had time to walk the grounds to see the beautiful views, Washington’s grave, and tour the museum of his life. We ate at the cafeteria because we wanted something simple and quick but would’ve loved to eat the restaurant. I felt the amount of time there was perfect. It’s so nice to be able to just park and get on the bus. We can enjoy the sites and get info about them without the hassle of driving through the traffic. Definitely recommend!!!
I highly recommend the hop on hop off trolly. We did it for two days to get around the city. The drivers/tour guides are highly knowledgeable about DC and it’s history. Arlington Cemetery was a somber tour, but it was our honor to visit and pay our respects. The changing of the guard ceremony was very nice. And I recommend the water taxi trip. It was a very nice relaxing time after the hustle and bustle of the city.
Fantastic way to travel around and taking in all the sites. Trolley drivers were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. No issues getting a seat at any time. Took the shuttle bus to Arlington, again, driver very informative, you could spend a lot of hours here so using the trolley service is ideal to cover the vast area in a shorter time. Guided tour gave insightful facts that you would never have known by just walking around by yourself. The major sites such as Washington Monument, Capitol Hill and Lincoln Memorial,etc, are further apart than you think! also with the heat! The trolley gets you around effortlessly and lets you find your bearings!
This was a great experience. We used the hop-on hop-off for multiple days and ended up purchasing the night trolley tour as well. Each driver was friendly, kind, funny and full of knowledge. I will definitely be using Cool Destinations again!
We loved our day of hopping-on and off so much we signed up for an amazing evening tour! With the same guide, Adam. During the cool damp days it was nice to be able to be warm and dry and not have to sit in an open upper deck.
On the evening tour there was a bit of a mix up in information called and spoke to at least 3 people about time and place to meet but we finally figured it out.
Really enjoyed. Staff provided great information as well as being courteous and helpful! Thank you...
