Touring Washington...Consider Your Options


We thought the double-decker touring bus might be a good idea.  Not during cold and inclement weather. Many of the old English buses are without heat and leak, resulting in a less than ideal touring experience. At $20 a head, if there are two or more of you, take a cab.  In half of our attempts to get around in the cold rain, taxis were more available than the bus, which comes around every 20 to 30 minutes. Standing for that amount of time in the cold rain will kill the touring spirit.  If your hotel is downtown, a cab to the National Mall will be cheaper in many cases.  Our cabs averaged $8 one way from the Washington Monument to the Union Station area where our hotel was located.

  1. Washington is the place where every American wants to visit it once. It is the capital of America and the house of president. It has many old time monuments and some natural landscapes which are very beautiful.
