Customer Reviews
we were late at the terminal but explaining our situation the company Gray Line carried us in a bus only for us to reach our lost bus driving no less than 30 minutes (Washington downtown to Mount Vernon) For us it was a very good manner to solve our problem (despite they missunderstand that we had take the interior building tour , not this tour but it was very satifactory for us)

-luis rojas, santiago,
Our guide, Bob, was difficult to understand at times, but the tour provided all that was promised in the brochure. I believe an additional stop at the Supreme Court Bldg would be an extremely important and appreciated by everyone I spoke to on our bus. Maybe it is a stop on one of the other tours you offer, but viewing from the coach wasn't enough to experience the grandeur of the Supreme Court Bldg.

-Jean Clarke, Plano, TX
The tour (Interior Buildings tour) was good but three of our scheduled stops were closed (US History Museum, Ford's Theatre and Peterson House). So that was a bit of a disappointment though no fault of the tour guide. Because our time there was so short (2 1/2 days), we didn't get to see several other sites, such as Arlington. So we will likely return another time to see those.
