“I have been on this tour before thru Viator .. and last time we had the most wonderful tour guide who really stayed on the facts of 9/11 this tour guide unfortunately talked about his history where he grew up. I felt like I was in school in history class, but the history wasn't on 911 for the most part we stayed in the ocula way too long.. and yes, it was cold weather, but I just felt like he didn't talk much about the events of 9/11 and my friend were 1st time to Ny and it was a terrible tour for them ..”

“Bus windows so dirty couldn't see any activities. Passenger complaints ignored, killed the tour! Cant recommend should offer refund. Tried to blame rain but passenger used umbrella and tissue to wipe window and black filth came off. They sell water repellant for car windows wich would have helped but they had time to clean windows at each stop. Waste of money! Also spoke in Spanish about passengers complaining, Daughter Spanish Interpreter so understood every word cant judge a book by its cover!”
Review of the 14-hour New York to Washington DC tour, with Arlington Cemetery, Capitol Hill, memorials, museum time, and practical tips.
“It was a good and well organized trip..bus was very neat and comfortable. Instead of allocating more than an hour at Arlington cemetery they could have given more time at White house and Capitol Building and explained more about these places. Overall, if u are at NY and have a day to spare, u should definitely go foe it!”
