Perhaps not the one to choose
If you plan to sit together and you are not Spanish you will be disappointed . The operator first calls out all the Spanish Tour participants and then will wait for any English speaking participants to come and see them before you are allowed on the bus . This means that your family of 4 or 2 will sit spread over the bust without the operator assisting and saying there is nothing they can do . Pity though as younger kids will not enjoy the trip

It was a long day, but...
It was a long day, but soooo worth it. Washington was fabulous.
Only downside was we did get bumped to a later tour (48 hrs prior to the start of the tour), which was found to be multi-language. On occasion we had passed by the landmark being described by the guide by the time the English translation was given. We did book the English option at the time of booking. Also, there wasn't enough time to go to the Smithsonian and get lunch so it was an either/or situation. We chose the Smithsonian which was brilliant. Also at Arlington the two guides were speaking over each other in two languages to either group (in very close proximity) so you could not hear what was being said, which was a shame. The only other criticism would be that the English guide would often walk away with the first half a dozen guests off the bus, leaving those at the rear of the bus to trail behind (when they could eventually make their way off the bus), rather than wait for the group to assemble prior to moving off. Nice little surprise at the end though.

Super!!
We had such a lovely time on our Washington, D.C. trip! It was a long day, but the entire experience was enjoyable, comfortable, and very well organized.
A big thank you to our wonderful guides, Juanita and Jose, who were warm, friendly, and incredibly informative. They shared so many interesting stories and facts along the way and really made the tour more memorable.
And of course, a special mention for our driver, “Super” Mario! 😊 for a very smooth journey.
We had a fantastic time & made some wonderful memories. Thank you for making our Washington trip so special!

A good tour but not a great one
We enjoyed it overall but they could have made more of all this, given the history and the importance of the city. The main problem was the bilingual tour, especially since we had booked for one in English. It's annoying to have to hear everything twice and it cuts down to half the information that can be offered.

Misleading advertising, they do not sell a 100% Spanish tour.
I feel quite disappointed and, honestly, scammed by this experience. We booked a tour from New York to Washington D.C. in Spanish precisely because we wanted to receive all the explanations and get to know the history of the places we were going to visit well. However, upon arriving, we found ourselves on a bus where they mixed Spanish and English-speaking passengers at the same time, and the instructions were alternating between the two languages... meaning it was almost impossible to understand. This is not what we bought nor what we expected to receive. When you pay specifically for a tour advertised in Spanish, you expect the tour and instructions to be entirely in Spanish, not to share the service with another language and end up receiving less information.
The routes and stops seemed good to me, but for me that does not compensate for the problem; one hires a tour not only to see places, but to learn, understand what one is seeing, and receive the explanations for what one has paid. If they had indicated from the beginning that it was a bilingual Spanish/English tour, it would be acceptable and it would have been our decision to accept it or not, but selling it as a tour in Spanish and then offering something different seems misleading to me.
Based on our experience, I do not recommend it. We paid for a tour in Spanish and that is not what we received.

An ok tour, but I think I would go with another tour next time
Was disappointed with the pace of the tour. The tour guide practically sprinted through Arlington and a lot of the tour group couldn’t keep pace. We didn’t see the Grave of the Unknown Soldier and a lot of history was missed. Doing the cart tours would have been better. The Smithsonian visit was not well co-ordinated. We were disappointed with the tour guide and the information provided, but the driver was excellent

DC in a day
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
