I booked this tour for me and my mom and our experience was absolutely wonderful. We arrived to the 790 7th Ave. stop around 5am and Josh arrived a little before 5:30am to greet us. He was very warm and welcoming and handed us some tour schedules that detailed every stop we would make on the way to and through Washington. We stopped for breakfast around 8:30am and stopped for lunch a little after 2pm. We had a group of about 14 and the bus was temperature controlled and provided a charging port if needed but if you have the latest iPhone device I would suggest carrying a portable charger and snacks!
While in Washington Josh narrated each stop and its meaning while also allowing us to stop at certain landmarks to take pictures and explore. He informed us of the time to meet back at the bus and where exactly he would be positioned. He was very knowledgeable of each landmark and addressed any question of concern we had.
Overall I give this tour a 10/10. Josh has the perfect personality for this type of tour and it was money well worth spent. Thank you again Josh !!
josh was a fantastic guide, and very knowledgeable. thanks for a truly memorable experience. Steve and jacqui x
