1. The tour itself is very good. It highlights the many important things to see in our nation’s capital. It’s worth it for a once in a lifetime trip if you only have 1 day. 2. The bus ride is very long 3. The guide’s narratives are not totally accurate
It was a memorable experience but the only thing that wasn’t great that we didn’t get to experience to go inside the memorials or closer up to the White House due to events and close to the president birthday. They should have updated on the website for future reference I understand things happen and unfortunate not knowing until last minute. Otherwise it was a great experience the trip advisors were patience and nice! I would rate overall an 8/10
Compact tour that gives you a very good overview of Washington in only 1 day! The guides and driver were lovely and the long drive and sightseeing were not too tiring at all - I recommend!
Our trip to Washington with Interviajes was just perfect. From the moment of departure, the impeccable organization, punctuality and attention to detail made us realize that it would be a special day. The real added value was the team of professionals who accompanied us. Agustin was exceptional: his explanations during the bus ride allowed us to appreciate not only the final destination, but the entire route, making the history of the monuments exciting and usable for everyone, both in English and Spanish. Each stage was precisely observed, and the atmosphere was also made unique by musical moments and shared songs that made the journey light and fun. Particular praise goes to Arnando: I can say with absolute certainty that he remains one of the most prepared and friendly guides I have ever known. His ability to combine deep historical knowledge with overwhelming sympathy is rare; he was able to engage and pamper us throughout the tour, making the hours spent together truly unforgettable. Also, I highly recommend this visit to all fans of space exploration: there is in fact the possibility to visit the National Air and Space Museum for free, where the incredible Apollo 11 command module is preserved. Seeing such a piece of history up close is a unique emotion that further enriches the day. Special thanks also go to our driver Mario, a very kind, friendly and always available travel companion, who guaranteed a pleasant and safe journey. It was one of the best experiences of our stay in New York. I recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you are lucky enough to be accompanied by this exceptional team!
We left very early from NY, 6 AM., in a beautiful and comfortable collective. The guide, Lucas, a genius, permanently interactive, involving the entire passage. The driver, "a lot of grapes," excellent. Washington welcomed us with the cherry blossoms and a very nice 26 degrees. It's worth going, because of all the monuments that we walk through and because that city emanates history, and in the end, I decrement, we were given a beautiful night postcard of the NY skyline from New Jersey.....fantastic!!!
Lucas, we appreciate the excellent performance and professionalism shown. We highly value not only your technical ability, but also your warmth and genuine interest in the well-being and progress of the group. People like you, and 'pure grapes', are the ones who make a difference in any project. The tour....just exceptional Thank you so much for everything!"
One of the best tours I've ever taken! We met many places in Washington DC, made excellent mentions and data while we were on the road, the times were perfect and what to say about Lucas and Jorge, our spectacular guide and driver who made this tour one of my favorites.
