Reviewed by: DHRUMAN, 2010-06-02 06:54:38

Very good tour. Exhaustive siteseeing, punctual, excellent tour guide, driver, bus, good hotels (no breakfast - a negative). Not many eating options / stops for vegetarians like us from India. Deluxe hotel facilities (gym / swimming pool) are of not much use as one is at the hotel only for sleeping. Surprised to note that the tickets issued for optional siteseeing had either expired or were of the previous year.(although that did not cause a problem to us). More time could be given at the Smithsonian museums (3 hrs too less for the number of museums and the amount of walking required). Finally, excellent tour. 1 star deducted for the limited vegetarian food options.!
