The tour guide, Allen, was very knowledgeable and could tell us nice stories related to the attractions we visited. He also arranged one more stop for us to admire the beautiful night of New York City. But it actually needed two more days to visit the attractions, one day was too rush for us.

Very convenient. After purchasing online, show the Qrcode to the on-site staff, and they will print out a list and remind you not to lose it. This list may lead to discounts at some museums that require paid admission. Overall, it's really convenient. You can hop on and off wherever there is a big bus. You can have fun all day long by car! (But the WiFi in the car sometimes fails)

Pick-up and drop-off: Since the departure time is relatively early, it is recommended to stay near the pick-up and drop-off area. Transportation: It takes about 4 hours to drive from New York to Washington, and the tour bus is very convenient. Itinerary: It is highly recommended if you want to visit multiple attractions in a short period of time. However, please be prepared that you may only stay at each attraction for a relatively short time. Tour guide: The tour guide will explain the itinerary and general historical background along the way to learn more about the local cultural background.
