Our trip to Washington with Interviajes was just perfect. From the moment of departure, the impeccable organization, punctuality and attention to detail made us realize that it would be a special day. The real added value was the team of professionals who accompanied us. Agustin was exceptional: his explanations during the bus ride allowed us to appreciate not only the final destination, but the entire route, making the history of the monuments exciting and usable for everyone, both in English and Spanish. Each stage was precisely observed, and the atmosphere was also made unique by musical moments and shared songs that made the journey light and fun. Particular praise goes to Arnando: I can say with absolute certainty that he remains one of the most prepared and friendly guides I have ever known. His ability to combine deep historical knowledge with overwhelming sympathy is rare; he was able to engage and pamper us throughout the tour, making the hours spent together truly unforgettable. Special thanks also go to our driver Mario, a very kind, friendly and always available travel companion, who guaranteed a pleasant and safe journey. It was one of the best experiences of our stay in New York. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you are lucky enough to be accompanied by this exceptional team!
It was fantastic. It is great, Andreas and Mario are amazing. You guys are the best. My only hope is, if you could have just clean the bus a little more. Yes it is clean, it looks clean, it is just stinky and dusty, the bathroom is nice and working. Just a little bit more i think, maybe deep cleaning on the seats. I am with Bus 706. Other than the smell and the dust on the bus, intraviajes is the best
Very attentive, polite and dedicated guide. Vehicle in good condition and comfortable.
I enjoyed all stops Agustin was excellent definitely I would recommend and will come back again..learned a lot of history
Although it lasts only one day, we could see many things and the driver and guide, Oscar, gave us a lot of information throughout the ride. We could not see the museums as the Saturday we went was closed for political reasons, but instead we went to Georgetown and longer in Arliston. Very good experience to make a getaway from New York.
From start to finish the Washington DC tour was handled with professionalism and top notch personnel. With tour guides Mr Carlos and Mr David their knowledge of all things related to the trip from NY to DC (and back) was excellent. The Bus driver Mr Mario was great. Handled the bus with caution and care for all his passengers. Also the tour bus was clean and well maintained. Want to send a special shout out to Mr Carlos for making our experience at the National Mall a lifetime memory!! Thanks for the extra mile. Please don't miss your opportunity to experience such a wonderful tour offered through Viator and everyone involved.
Just the time it takes to get to know the most important things about Washington. The considerate, friendly and patient guide to my mother's needs. An older person. All the stories of the guide enriched the ride
Good organization, entertaining and very pleasant. Very good experience. Visit the most emblematic places of the city with a brief and concise explanation.
We chose this trip as we wanted to see all the sights of Washington DC in one day and it certainly delivered . We found the amount of time for each stop was just right . Sure it’s 4 hours each way from NYC however we stopped for a break in each direction and boy what a spectacular ending. Our tour was in English and tour guide Augustine and driver Mario were brilliant. Happy to recommend .
Great day tour with Alex & Carlos so the tour started on time 6am with a nice stop for breakfast and bathroom time Very knowledgeable and the crew were very nice returning on time Both tour guides were fabulous
