"Don’t do it! Save your money and uber!"

Reviewed June 27, 2025 NEW

Don’t do it. The bus is crowded and not air conditioned and the driver is not informative. We aborted the trolly after riding half way due to the long wait at each stop. We found that it was cheaper to uber to each stop as we desired… which gets you closer to the attraction, is air conditioned, and there is no long wait. The uber drivers are usually very nice and helpful. There were also 2 stops on the map that were completely ignored by our driver who then gave us attitude when we inquired about it. Saying “we don’t go there.” In a nut shell… save your money and Uber.

"Family vacation"

Reviewed June 10, 2025

We were in DC and wanted to do a hop on hop off tour because we did them in Boston, Philly, and NYC. We haven’t always used Old Town Trolleys but I decided to give it a shot because they offered a deal to tour Arlington Cemetery too. The trolley drivers were good. They were friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend the combo tour but recommend two days if you do Arlington too. Arlington took us about half of a day and we really didn’t see everything but we saw everything we wanted to. Overall, good experience.

"Highly recommend for a fun and informative tour of Washington DC ❤️"

Reviewed May 14, 2025

Brilliant tour company. All staff and drivers were fantastic, fun and very knowledgeable. We even got a discount because we are from the UK 😅 It was a brilliant way to tour Washington DC on the day trip we had. That good, in fact, that we are planning to return to stay for a few days to explore properly for a longer time. Thank you so much for an excellent service!

"Jace was great !"

Reviewed April 05, 2025

We had high expectations after having great experiences with this same trolley service in Nashville & Savannah. However, the DC drivers are not near as informative & nice as Savannah and Nashville. We had one great driver in DC on April 4, 2025. His name was Jace. He spoke clearly and had soooo much more interesting info/facts than the other DC drivers. Sadly he got his lunch break and we had to board a different trolley. That kid needs a raise! He was great! This service was okay. Uber would be cheaper though. If Jace was driving them all I’d say do it! But the others were just meh.
