We booked a two-day ticket on-line and got a nice discount. There are 3 routes that take you all over the city and one ticket is good for all. Look at their map on-line and see all the places you can visit. We did one day using the Trolley for Arlington and Georgetown. Another day we did the Ford's Theater,... More

Great way to see DC...numerous trolley stops are convenient to most monuments and sightseeing venues. Drivers were all very friendly, personable, extremely knowledgeable with details and little known facts /folklore. Was in DC early April (spring break/cherry blossom time) so only drawback appeared to be extremely full, end of the day trolleys. Luckily we were accomodated,but closer to the end... More

This was one of the highlights of our recent trip (March 2013) to Washington DC. Our tour guide Jason was full of interesting information - we learned so much!! He was very nice and funny, a pleasure to listen to. The view of the monuments lit up at night is spectacular!! A must do for anyone visiting. Our kids 8... More

To get around in Washington DC, we selected the old trolly tour. The driver was friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining and gets our highest marks. As far as the tour itself, I would not do it again. We thought that getting on and off was an advantage for us, but in reality it was not that easy. After getting off and waiting... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our tour. I appreciate the kind words about our tour guide but was unhappy to read about the service you received from us. We pride ourselves on the customer service and tour product we we provide our guests and clearly we let you down. We do have a 100% money back guarantee... More

We made the mistake of getting off at an early stop (the National Archives) and just couldn't get back on a trolley. We waited 20 minutes between trolleys, each one full to capacity with no one getting off. On a looping sight seeing tour, why would they not send out empty buses every once in a while? We ended up...

I am terribly sorry to have read the experience you had with our tour. I too am investigating why you were stranded at the National Archives, and why empty vehicles were not sent out for guests. Please make sure you use our 100% Money back guarantee which you can easily access on our website in the customer service area. More

My wife and I arrived in Washington DC with a map of the sights and no other plan than to check out Old Town Trolley at their location at 10th Street and E Street. As it turned out, that was plan enough. The hop-on/hop-off trolleys stop at all the major sights and the drivers given a running description of the... More

I can't say enough how much my family enjoyed our tour. It was perfect for my family. We visited DC with a 5 year old boy, my 85 year old grandmother, my parents, and my 31 year old brother . My mother, the school teacher, loved the many new facts (she knew a great deal, but even she learned new... More

We took the hop-on day tour, and also the night tour. I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate me in my wheelchair. They were wonderful! The lift was smooth and comfortable, and we had a great time seeing all the sites, and both guides were fantastic. So much better to have live guides rather than recorded. Well worth... More
