We were never able to complete a tour due to protests the bus did not run from 8-11:00 am. Then due to the protests the streets were blocked and the bus was rerouted. We got on the buss at 3:00pm and the bus was stuck in traffic most of the time so we exited the bus after 2 stops. Definitely lost money on the Big Bus! Very disappointing!

Having purchased tickets for this experience, advertised as an open top bus tour, with buses every 15-20 minutes, we waited for over an hour for a bus and, when it did arrive, it was full and we were not permitted to get on. As such, we were unable to use the tickets.

I have used hop on hop off tours in multiple countries and DC's is the worst. Stops are too long in some places and there are not enough buses so waits are long.

I needed to change the date of a tour and the representative managed to get it rescheduled very quickly. What made this service exceptional is that I called an hour and a half before the tour was due to start.
