We travelled on the evening trolley tour on 12th Nov. It was quite cold and wet but we had a great time. We met Stacey from Canada and had the excitement of a fire evacuation at Union Station before we left. Bill the tour guide was a local, a former journalist based in Russia for some time. We went via... more

My husband and I only had one full day in DC and wanted to see as much as we could. The trolley took us to every tourist site, plus some, that we could possibly imagine. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. Well worth the cost and saved us HOURS of walking! I would recommend this to everyone! more

We were on a three day tour and not sure what we could actually see. The tour with the informative and fun guides helped us to hone in on what we actually wanted to see. They were full of info and good advice...It is good to run all the way through one of the loops, and then decide what you... more

Very knowledgeable tour guides. They made the tour fun, informative, and they got everyone involved. Not only did they know all the "scoop" going on in DC in the past, they knew everything going on in the present. No question too tough. The on/off ability was great and the guides gave enough time to take pics. more

This was a great experience. The trolley took us all over town, allowed us to unload and board as needed. We are able to see most of DC without needing to pay extra for a taxi. It even made a stop at our hotel (Marriott Mayflower....which I highly recommend!). The drivers were fabulous and informative without being cheesy. We went... more

We took the day trip to Georgetown and it was so interesting. Our guides pointed out so many things we would have overlooked. The amount of embassies is astounding and our guide rattled them off at warp speed! The Monuments At Moonlight tour is a MUST! To see these at night is very moving and powerful. Again our guide pointed... more

My husband, nine-year old son and I had a great time on the Old Town Trolley Tours! It poured rain and was freezing cold due to a noreaster that blew through DC, but the entire staff maintained good spirits and had smiles on their faces. Their entire concern was whether everyone enjoyed their time. GREAT! more

I was very hesitant about the Trolley since a lot of the reviews said there was a long wait time. But to my surprise we waited on an average 15 minutes every time and everyone who waited was able to get on. All the drivers were friendly, some more interesting than others, but all had my attention. They all did... more

We toured the DC area with a couple elderly relatives and wanted a way to get to the various monuments and sites on the Mall, as well as to Georgetown and National Cathedral, without making them walk too far. Old Town Trolley looked like a good way to do this. I went on their website to check routes, timing, costs,... more

We had a good time and it certainly saved us a ton of walking but the day after our tour we discovered we could have had a 2 day tour from the tour bus originating from Arlington Nat'l Cematery. I would recommend that one instead. more
