I love tea, so I am always looking for new ways to experience. So when I got the opportunity to go…read moreto Tea Around Town, I had to take it. The experience started off rocky. We had a 12pm tour that told us to arrive 15 minutes early. The bus did not show up until 12:05. It wasn't a long wait but it was 30 degrees outside. Everyone on the bus got there early and the bus was late. Once you get on the bus, they tell you which booths to sit in. At your booth, they have the food already set out for you. Each person gets 4 finger sandwiches, a crostini, deviled egg, 4 desserts and 2 scones, if you do the petite tea experience. I found it to be a good amount of food, I did not leave hungry. The food is not incredible quality, but for being on a bus, I found it pretty good. Like the sandwiches were a bit dry, but overall tasty. For the teas, each person gets a travel tumbler (that you get to take home) that they put our teas in. They gave each of us 5 different teas to try throughout the tour. The flavors were pretty good, I enjoyed all of them except for the raspberry hibiscus. The bus takes you around the national mall and then onto other parts of the district near the mall. The narrator of the tour does give you some facts and points out different significant places that you pass. They also sang us a few songs while we were driving. The driver did a good job, though at times it was hard to eat and drink while the bus turned or started/stopped. The bus itself is a bit worn in parts. Some of the seats had stains, the floor was coming up in parts. It could use a little maintenance. I'm glad to have gotten to experience the tea bus once, I don't think I would do it again. I do think it would be a fun experience to take someone from out of town to do.

I was left, all dressed up, a mother in tow, sitting on the sidewalk on Pennsylvania Ave in DC, bc this pathetic con job left us stranded there. We had tickets for the "fancy" noon sightseeing bus. They told us to be there at least 15 min in advance. Dozens of ladies dressed to the nines - Derby hats and all. At 11:46, they texted us: Bus broke down. Trip canceled. ON MOTHER'S DAY. I should've listened to all the bad reviews. Holiday ruined, especially for the many women I talked to who drove in from up to 2 hours away. Tea Around Town should be ashamed of themselves!!!

Tried to take a lift to find the bus at one of the other stops. But after 10 minutes, the Lyft ride canceled on us. Finally ended up getting tickets for the old town trolley. Big Bus was such a waste of money. And no way to get a hold of them to even ask for a refund. Use the Old Town Trolley!!!!

As the bus was unloading in front of hotel Washington a rider got off saying how rude and unprofessional the driver was.. ( it happens). As we start our tour we were made to exit the one bus to catch another that's where it quickly went down hill.. the new buss was involved in an accident . Thankfully no one hurt. We were told to exit and not told where another bus stops to get it.. after walking about an hour since phone was dead and no one knew where the stop was we finally found a bus.. too late to see anything else. Funny how the website has no phone numbers either so on Thursday I sent e mail asking for a partial or full refund. Since never really saw any sites they responded that someone would call me within 24 hours and yep as of now no one has... $130 wasted

Don is very familiar with DC area and comes off professional, passionate about his tour to show you the good, bad, and the ugly truths about DC where you'll walk away with so much information, pictures and believe you visited all four quadrants of the city. I saw places on the Underground Railroad, many historical places and residences of prominent African American figures that fought for justice and equality; also monuments near or on national mall. MLk monument looks especially beautiful at night. This is a must see tour, highly recommended, and a tour to see when in Washington DC. ( Although You'll get a lot of information about DC from Don, still visit the African American museum. In fact, it wasn't until I went on the tour did I learn the original African American museum was located in Southeast DC. I can't remember if parts of it is still open. However, I went to the museum on national mall and it was great as well. The van was comfortable and there was cold water available .)

This was specifically because of our driver, who, after letting us off the bus numerous times, relied on Passengers to tell him if everyone was back on. this happened at least five times that I remember and each time all of us were shocked that he didn't have a headcount or take responsibility for passengers being on board. There's no way I could recommend this tour for that reason alone.

While he was nice, he didn't have a lot to add off the track I pretty sure he had memorized. I actually feel like I heard most about which monuments had the best restrooms than much of anything else (we never asked about bathroom situations). Would I book this again, no. Here is what I learned, you still walk a fair amount into these monuments from where they drop you in the golf cart vs. the people who are on the bikes and scooters. If you're really looking for the least amount of walking and able to operate those that would save you time and money. Overall, there was no value for the price tag for us and the guide kind of ruined the experience.

Nathan, our tour guide was so friendly, personable and most important knowledgeable without feeling like we were in a classroom being lectured. He gave us plenty of time at all the sites. He even dropped us off at a Metro station after the tour and told us how to get to where we wanted to go, Postal Museum. Dropped us at Gallery Place and took the red line two stops to Union Station and the museum was right next door! Just wanted to make sure Nathan was acknowledged for his premiere service and I wanted to let you know how much my sister and I enjoyed the tour and set up our Saturday for a great day. We were on the first tour of the day to see where everything was and then spent the rest of the day going back to those places we wanted to see more of. And there were only 4 of us on the tour! THAT has never happened to me. A microphone for the tour guide and speaker wouuld be helpful if you are sitting further back in the golf cart. But overall. . . a 10 out of 10!
