The itinerary is well planned, with enough time to visit each point. There is also free time at the end to visit the museums in Washington, D.C., and there are appropriate rest stops in the middle. It is a good itinerary to participate in.

A convenient way to explore the city’s major landmarks and attractions. The stops are located near key sites like the National Mall, the White House, and the Smithsonian museums. You'll be given a pair of earphones for the audio guide that provids historical and cultural information about the sights. My 3-day pass also includes a cruise on the Potomac river which brings you to Georgetown.

It takes more than four hours by car from New York, but the tour guide is very professional and introduces a lot of relevant information about the scenic spots. Overall, it was a bit of a quick tour. I could only quickly see the attractions and then take photos before leaving.
