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)

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.
