    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.

    DO NOT DO IT!!!!! This business, with its "F" rating on the Better Business Bureau, should be shut…read moredown... You should read the Google reviews in order by newest - ALL ONE STAR. 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!!!

    We had a great experience with this bike tour. The guide was very punctual at the start of the…read moreroute and extremely kind and attentive with everyone in the group. We felt very comfortable throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend booking a guided tour instead of renting bikes on your own. In our case, my bike chain came off, and the guide immediately came back to help us. That level of support made a big difference. Another thing I really appreciated was that the guide explained the history of Washington and the meaning behind many of the landmarks we visited. It adds so much more value to the experience. Also, visiting during March and April is absolutely beautiful. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and it makes the whole tour even more special. The guide was very patient, always waited for the group, and understood that some people may not be very experienced with biking but still wanted to enjoy the tour. The only suggestion I would add is to improve accessibility for international visitors. It would be great if explanations could be offered in multiple languages, or if there were a way for each person to clearly hear the guide regardless of distance--perhaps through headphones or a mobile system. This would really enhance the experience for tourists who may not fully understand English. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I definitely recommend it!

    This was worth every penny! Finding the starting location was easy and only a block from a metro…read morestop. A staff member made sure bikes were the correct height and we were introduced to our tour guide. He was very helpful in navigating the city, making sure our group of 4 stayed together and was very knowledgeable. He was happy to let us walk around sites on our own and took pictures for us. If a memorial or location was blocked and we could see it, he adding something else in to make it worth our time and money. Excellent tour and a really fast way to get around and see everything in 3 hours!

    Having toured countless places in countless ways all over the world, including D.C. before, it is…read moreinexplicable to my family and me how this business has any 4 or 5 star ratings. If we could give it a ZERO STAR rating, we would certainly do so. Starting the night prior to our Mt. Vernon tour, Yohannes went overboard repeatedly texting/calling (from anxiety that we'd not show?). He was rude on the phone; for example, four minutes after texting him that we'd be 10 minutes late, he called. When I answered my phone, he was aggressive, "Where are you?!" No "Hello." No "This is Yahannes at DC Tours..." Just the accostive greeting. It got no better. My wife wanted to cancel before we started. We should have. Our driver and tour guide, Dani, picked us up at a downtown site, and did a fine job driving us to Mt. Vernon. He was a nice man (at least he had manners!), though never should be called a "tour guide." He knew nothing about the place that we couldn't read in all the plaques; and oddly would just repeat phrases from the plaques as we were reading them. It was weird, a bit awkward. We might as well have saved plenty of money, rented a car and taken ourselves. Oof, forget all the 5 star reviews...not sure how this outfit remains in business.

    this was our second night tour, last one we were in town nine years ago!! Glad he is still doing…read morethe tours!!!! Dr. Yohannes Zeleke Is just plain great!! He has so much knowledge! We did the night tour again. DC, the buildings, and the monuments look great and so much different at night. He does not rush. If you want to take pictures, he will stop. If we are back in DC, we will do another tour with him. Call him sign up!!! He will not disappoint.
