Published on Feb, 2025

Everything was good! Comfortable ride and very nice views. Good stops for lunch/bathrooms. Jay from this trip knows everything about Washington and Philadelphia.

Amazing trip!

Published on Jan, 2025

Jay was amazing as our tour guide. We knew exactly where we were going at all times, he gave us very detailed information of all the places we visited. He gave us plenty of time to visit the sites and offered to take pictures of us throughout the trip. He allowed time for shopping and made sure we had bathroom breaks as well as pointing out places to eat.

Very good day out

Published on Jan, 2025

Me and my partner have just been on this trip and would 100% say if thinking about goingā€¦go. If you have the time itā€™s a good time out from NYC. There is loads to see more then I thought and takes the pressure of working it out yourself. Carlos Becerra was amazing and knows his stuff and he made sure that the time was kept to as to not mess the day up. This is good as there is always someone late but not today. Freddy the driver also great as Iā€™m sure itā€™s a very long day for him also.

Awesome Day trip to DC and Philadelphia
