Hands down the best place to come to for repairs, cleaning & a 2nd home. Thank you to everyone for always make me feel at home & taking care of my coach. Joseph & Henry worked on my coach today & did a fantastic job. Everyone else who cleaned inside & out, Thank you so much & for Carl who took me in the company vehicle to get something to eat while the mechanics worked on my bus. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

We worked with Khaled Ismael from DC trails for 3 months and everyone loved him. His bus was the cleanest among all the other buses we have used in the past and trust me, this man loves his bus. He’s a character too, one of the funniest drivers we’ve had and he takes pride in working for this company. We hope to use this company again in the future and hopefully with Khaled. Definitely a 5 star experience

Not worth the money. The app doesn't work. They only have 3 buses. You will wait 40 minutes plus on another bus.

where in d c do these buses stop?

Melissa Story | Oct 6, 2020

The first stop is at Lafayette Plaza. That's where you get on and give your tickets. Other stops include the Capitol, Smithsonians, near Washington Monument, Ford's Theater, etc. There is a map on the website.

I have prebooked a hop on hop off 48 hour pass in July....do you have to begin your tour at the L’Enfant Plaza or can you join wherever is nearest to your hotel??

Gabriella Ronayne | Oct 7, 2019
Gail Maclin | Oct 7, 2019

To my knowledge, only start at L'Enfant. But call to see if possible to jump start anywhere. L'Enfant is the beginning and end, before they began again, over and over. Who knows, you may can jump on anywhere if you have your receipt downloaded on your phone to show you paid for the day.

What if you want to do evening tour one night but want to have 2 extra days later in the week to do hop on hop off? Does the evening tour have to be part of the 48 hr time frame or can it be used a couple of days after taking the evening tour?

Rowena Neumann | Oct 7, 2018
Tara Uhlich | Oct 7, 2018

If the 48hr pass you purchased is the one with the free night tour then yes...your night tour has to be booked within those 48hrs. The night tour does need to be booked though while the daytime just needs your pass. Try Groupon, they usually have good deal 😊 You won't regret it. The evening tour is amazing! Also you can call them, they will answer all of your questions and book your tour.

There are so many tours. We have never been to Washington DC. How does one choose which tour to go on?

Cheryl Earsley | Oct 7, 2019
D Haegy | Oct 7, 2019

It really depends on what you're looking for. The hop on hop off take you on a ride around the tourist hotspots. They are a nice way to get a brief description of each spot. Then if something really interests you, hop off and check it out further. When done, go back to the bus stop and get on the bus to go to the next one. Maybe stay on the bus for 1 full lap, hear about everything, then on lap 2 get off and start checking out your points of interest. Lots of different ways to do it.

What is a hop on, hop off tour? Will a map be provided?

Cheryl Earsley | Oct 7, 2019
Mike Stoehr | Oct 7, 2019

Yes a map of all the stops is provided. Basically you can ride all day for one price and get on and off at any of the stops. They also provide a live guide to give you information of what you are seeing while on the route. If you have the time you can get there early to ride the entire route and then get off at the stop you feel is the best place to start that matches your interests.

Why the bus is comming in delay ?m

ronit bar-hen | Oct 7, 2018
Frank Gray | Oct 7, 2018

In my opinion, this tour is a great way to quickly see DC, and also get around to the sites you really want to see. If you spend two hours waiting for one bus, then you haven't used this tour correctly. A lot of the stops are very close together and easily walked between. With just minimal planning abd the use of their map, you can make this a great, affordable, efficient tour of DC. The tour guides are also great.
