This was not a good choice at all. Not only is their website dismal, but their map isn't close to accurate and apparently there are different loops. It's not at all clear which busses do the full loop and there are no announcements to explain. the bus is painfully slow. We were not able to half of what we wanted because of the bus. Save your money and take one of the many cabs around.

On April 11th, I was heading the pick up location, however, the bus stopped at 2 blocks away, I was trying to open the confirmation email where has 'view details' the link did not work, so I have to call customer service, while Marie picked up phone and spent 30 min conversation all about confirm the pick up location, during when I sent her my location, as well ask for address (previously saved somewhere which turned out the right pickup location and I was there!), she said can't find it!!! In last minute, she said wait for 2 hours next pick up time which is 1:30 PM. So, I request to move voucher to next day, she hang on the call; around 1 PM on that day, I call customer service again, Mary Jone picked up the call and confirmed that sending request to the local tour operation; however, I called on April 12th, customer service said still waiting local tour operator, until April 13th afternoon, I got email response to ask which day I want to move, it cost 2 days!! I said too late, and respond to ask for issue credit for my next time travel, until April 16th, the customer service respond, no way,. From google, it says La Vacanza Travel 24/7 support, is it?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waiting for 59 minutes for a bus, and then having it not go where it was supposed to. We were not able to go to the Lincoln memorial because one of the loops didn’t go there… but there was no notification that it wouldn’t.

It was not worth the money spent. Use Uber and the metro to get to central locations and then walk. The tour is not personalized in any way, just a driver and recorded tour. Also, there is so much traffic that on weekends there are different bus loops to connect to.
