Great experience - The program was very well respected despite the capricious weather. Very good explanations from the Guide in English AND Spanish. Perfect on a day to see the main sights of Washington and Philadelphia. I would have liked to spend a little more time in souvenir shops 😅.

Best Budget Tour: Washington and Philly in a Day! - I recently took a 1-day tour to Washington and Philadelphia, and it was an incredible experience! If you're on a budget and want to cover two iconic cities in a short span, this tour is the way to go. Our guide, Carlos, was exceptional - knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured we made the most of our time. We explored the National Mall, Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall, among other landmarks. Carlos's insights and anecdotes added depth to our understanding of these historic sites. The tour was well-organized, and we didn't feel rushed. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Carlos as your guide. It's an unbeatable value for the price!

Trip to Washington and Philadelphia - Complients to the guide Carlos, very nice Colombian guide who made all of us smiling for all the trip. Excellent outdoor conditions as it was luckily cloudy and not so hot. I suggest to visit much more Philadelphia than Washington, especially if you are a Rocky Balboa's fan. Thanks so much
