  • Too many passengers, not enough seats
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/06/09
    The waits were horrendous. We were in DC in October, hardly the summer tourist season, but we waited and waited and waited. At Arlington, we waited for the better part of an hour for the shuttle back to the pick up point near the monuments, then we took a cab. At least their refund policy is correct - we complained and were refuned our ticket ...

  • Not worth the money
    By Susan, 04/13/09
    My family of 4 purchased trolley tickets online thinking it was going to be a good way to get around town while learning about the city. We spent most of the time waiting for the trolley, and like others have expressed we had to wait for more than one trolley to come by to pick us up. The drivers were nice and fairly helpful, but having to hear ...

  • Worst Trolley Ever and Their Drivers Agree!!
    By Patrick, 04/11/09
    We waited 45 minutes for a trolley but it was full so was told another trolley would come in 15 minutes to get us but it didn't show up so after 30 more minutes we took a cab to our next destination. Then we tried to catch a trolley at that stop but it was full. My wife sarcastically said to the driver, "You have a great scam going ...

  • DO NOT DO THE TROLLEY TOUR!!!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/17/08
    You waste more time waiting for a trolley than actually getting to tour the stops. We had to walk to the next stop because we were unable to get on 4 trolleys. Later that same day, we waited over an hour at the Arlington Cemetery because our shuttle bus never showed up. Missed our shuttle back to the hotel because the shuttle bus was so late and ended up having to pay for a cab to get back. WASTE OF MONEY.

  • Horrible experience
    By amen, 07/08/08
    This was a total waste of money. Booked this based on a web review since we had only one day in DC. Spent half the day waiting for the trolleys to come by. On many occasions we had to wait for 2-3 trolleys to pass by before we got a seat. These people wait for the demand to increase before they release all their trolleys. Their trolley frequency is ...

  • We would recommend the old town trolley tour
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/31/07
    My husband and I and our two teenagers took the old town trolley in DC in July. It was great. The drivers are knowledgable and the stops were interesting. We never waited more than 10 minutes for another trolley. We would definitely do this again.

  • Depends on the Guide and the season
    By Team Frosick, 07/09/06
    During the blazing hot, crowded summer months, these can be miserable tours. The trolleys are hot, always crowded, and there is quite a bit of walking still required once you step off the bus.

    During the cooler (less crowded) seasons, the Trolley is usually fantastic. Most of the guides do an excellent job narrating (mixing knowledge and humor), ...

  • Not that bad!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/22/06
    The price of the tickets is far less than any other above-ground transportation and much easier and less crowded than the metro system and you actually get to go by and see many attractions whether you choose to get off or not. I have been to DC four times and used this tour on my first visit. I found that it served us well for first-timers to ...

  • Totally sucks and not worth money
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/31/05
    total disappointment! Drop off points are far walks from sights, company sells WAY oo many tickets for them to handle. We had to wait for serveral tolleys to come by before we could find one with enough room on it for our 6 person group to get on. Very bad customer service. Trolleys would go by stops that we were standing at and not even stop for passengers! Too much money for too little service!

  • Eh... Could have been much better
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/06/04
    Overall the stops on this tour are off the beaten path. You do have to do a great deal of walking from the trolley stop to the destination in which you desire. This is not a good tour for children or elderly. The trolley waiting stations are not shaded nor near any trees. DC is the city of trees you know. Trolley drivers are very touch and go. My ...
