We booked 2 pedicabs and were picked up from our hotel and my parents could pick what they wanted to see. Our tour lasted 4 hours and my dad (who is a Vietnam Veteran) had the chance to see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. We also went by the courthouse that they got married at. Kevin and Read were very knowledgeable about the history of the city and we had so much fun with them. Traveling with elderly parents can be challenging and this tour made it so easy and enjoyable for everyone. I would highly recommend this tour as it's a relaxing way to see all that Washington DC has to offer.

He took us to all the expected stops, but made sure we got to see some of the lesser known memorials and monuments in the area like the one for John Paul Jones, George Mason and Albert Einstein. Besides taking in the gorgeous view of DC at dusk, I spent the entire time in awe of how much information our driver knew about each of the monuments. Did you know that FDR actually requested a very simple memorial - not the huge multi-acre one that we associate with him today? The original one is a stone the size of his desk in front of the National Archives. I had no idea! This is definitely my new favorite way to explore a city. Highly recommend.

We signed up for the electric scooter tour (mostly at my behest - because I love them so:). My girl and I were a party of two, and we joined a party of 3 (mom and two girls) for a run ride out on the town. First, we met at the bike shop, where all the scooters and accommodations had been taken care of ahead of time. The shop is conveniently located by this quiet alley, where Barry gave us an overview of the trip, discussed any special considerations, went over relevant safety stuff, and let everyone practice and get comfortable on the scooters (in the safety of that quiet alley). All with a GREAT sense of humor and a smile. It was enough to put even that nervous mother at ease with her girls. (I'm not sure if I had more fun watching him at work with the family, or actually seeing the sites along the tour - haha!). He throws in a couple of bonus gems and things along the way. My guess is that every one of his tours is a little bit different from the ones before it. Then we went and did all the things. I think we were gone for a couple of hours total. I loved it. I'm not sure why, but the whole time, I was in just such a good mood. Thank you Barry, for bringing the joy to the ride. From the bottom of my heart, we are all still smiling. Thank you for such a fun and simple, safe, silly, and memorable experience. We loved it!!

Private 8pm sunset tour review - I'm guessing this tour is…read morea make or break based on the guide you get, ours was lack luster. While he was nice, he didn't have a lot to add off the track I pretty sure he had memorized. I actually feel like I heard most about which monuments had the best restrooms than much of anything else (we never asked about bathroom situations). Would I book this again, no. Here is what I learned, you still walk a fair amount into these monuments from where they drop you in the golf cart vs. the people who are on the bikes and scooters. If you're really looking for the least amount of walking and able to operate those that would save you time and money. Overall, there was no value for the price tag for us and the guide kind of ruined the experience.

Nathan, our tour guide was so friendly, personable and most important knowledgeable without feeling like we were in a classroom being lectured. He gave us plenty of time at all the sites. He even dropped us off at a Metro station after the tour and told us how to get to where we wanted to go, Postal Museum. Dropped us at Gallery Place and took the red line two stops to Union Station and the museum was right next door! Just wanted to make sure Nathan was acknowledged for his premiere service and I wanted to let you know how much my sister and I enjoyed the tour and set up our Saturday for a great day. We were on the first tour of the day to see where everything was and then spent the rest of the day going back to those places we wanted to see more of. And there were only 4 of us on the tour! THAT has never happened to me. A microphone for the tour guide and speaker wouuld be helpful if you are sitting further back in the golf cart. But overall. . . a 10 out of 10!

I don't need him to talk to me but when I take other buses, usually they at least greet the passengers. Not this guy! The bus itself isn't even that comfy. I had always heard such good things about this bus, but not sure I can say anything good about my experience. It's cheap and they made a brief reststop break (15 minutes) in Delaware. Anyway, the bus is freezing cold and I thought maybe it just takes awhile to warm up. Hours later and not any better. It's literally 20 degrees outside so heat is needed on here! Someone went up to ask the driver about turning up the heat. He ignored her and mumbled something about it's having technical issues. Smh! As I said, I'm DONE! Let me go put my gloves back on before I get frost bite!!!

DC to NY on 5/31/11…read more This is an honest review with both good & bad. The Bad: 1) Upon arrival at Union station there were 3 lines to get on the bus. A,B,C none which were marked. A was let on followed by B in an orderly fashion but C was a Free-For-All which sucked if u got there early & had someone in the back just run up ahead of you. 2) Not all seats have outlets OR footrests. You will need these footrests as the leather seats have a slight downward slope to them which was extremely uncomfortable causing you to edge forward. We had neither convenience in our seat row. 3) Nothing was shown on the TV's 4) Bathroom had no light at all. 5) getting luggage off is another Free-For-All 6) There was no rest stop to use a proper restroom or stretch your legs. The Good: 1) Allowed to show confirmation via smartphone. 2) AC was comfortable 3) Bus appeared clean & relatively new. 4) Seats are reclinable and armrests lift although there is zero lumbar support on the Leather Seats 5) Overhead storage wasn't bad. 6) Back of seat has drink holder 7) FREE WiFi if you can get it to work. 8) Price was good for what you get Overall Verdict, worth the $ if you know where to sit & are prepared. My personal experience is why I gave a 3 star. If we had gotten a good seat it might have been four. The zero light in the bathroom & unorganized boarding process would still make it only four stars. Check my pictures I uploaded some of the back of the seats as well as what the NYC drop off point looks like.

The trip was quite reasonable: it got the job done and the comfort level was better than expected, despite a full train. Most passengers were considerate (except for one family that played a TV show loudly on a cellphone; an annoyance that reflected more poorly on them than bothered people sitting more than two rows away). I also liked it that my car at least had a faucet for dispensing drinking water, and a good supply of cups. On a long trip, staying hydrated is important. (I am not sure if all cars had water dispensers though.) My only complaint is the bathrooms -- they got increasingly dirty over the trip. Towards the last quarter of the trip, one of the bathrooms became unusable because it looked like someone peed on the floor. I don't think he (or they, if it was cumulative) did it on purpose; the toilets are very small, and on a rolling train, it's easy to miss. Fortunately they were other bathrooms that remained, not clean, but at least usable (for gents). Oh, even though the ride is called "Lakeview", you only saw a lake (Lake Erie) for about 1 minute. The rest of the trip was land on both sides, except for crossing rivers. No big deal; most of trip was night anyway.

Let's get into it. Very small - perfect for solo or couple short stays. I am a minimalist so it was right up my alley. The space, although small, had everything you need and the creative storage spaces was ingenious. Fresh smell throughout the hotel and room and carpeted hallway relatively quiet. Comfy beds! Sound - my room was on the 11th floor facing the street and construction but there were ear plugs and a sound diffuser. Again, great idea and worked perfectly but it wasn't much of a busy night so it worked out. Location - perfect... parking can be added to the hotel reservation with in/out privileges. Parking garage elevator leads you to inside the arena so you avoid the madness outside. Easy in and easy out. Around the block from the arena so super convenient. Amenities - the bar area was bustling but I did not partake. Only aspect of the room that is just a personal preference of mine..... no carpet, wooden floors. Not much floor space either way it was not a deal breaker. Motto has definitely found a friend in me!!!
