Lights of DC - The tour was really good and informative. Ms Gale brought us to all the iconic points of interest. She slowed down so we could take pictures of the monuments lit up. It was extremely hot, I wouldn't recommend sitting in "the bubble ". Would definitely recommend this tour when visiting Washington.

Great staff, vehicles need repairs - The staff was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the busses need work. The 2 busses both had broken ACs and 1 had a bad transmission so it couldn’t go into 3rd gear on the highway and vibrated the bus like crazy when in first gear.
