Great!
Emily_W, Apr 2024
Really good! You get to see a lot of places . You don’t spend a lot of time in the places but that would be expected due to the amount of things you get to see. The guide was great, really nice and very knowledgeable. Provided facts on the journey as well as at the places. Coach was comfy, have stops along the way. Has a toilet on board if needed. An early start so would take a pillow with you so you can take a nap onboard. Come back early enough to grab dinner and do something in the evening if you’re up to it. Would recommend.
Worth setting the alarm for
Doreen_C, Apr 2024
Early start for this tour but if you want to see more of USA this is definitely an option. Great way to see Washington and philadelphia in comfort. Yes there is a lot of motorway, obviously, but thats an opportunity to catch up on sleep. Tour guide Carlos and driver Fernando was great so well done to them. The only thing I might say would be maybe a wee bit more time at the Lincoln memorial and less lunchtime but I know that probably depends on traffic on the day. Definitely glad I went on this tour.
Highly recommended daily trip especially for those who don’t have much time available
Theo_R, Apr 2024
Carlos our guide was excellent. Knowledgeable and fully helpful. Everything was perfect especially for us that we didn’t have all the time of the world available to visit these two important cities. Though I would prefer one more free hour in Philadelphia to explore the city

A day on the bus
Parsifal, Jan 2024
Despite we expected a long trip, we spent 90% of the trip on the bus. In Washington we had very short time to visit the Museum and to watch the monuments but, we wasted more than one hour visiting different war-memorials which were not of our interest, especially when you have very limited time. Same story for Philadelphia, visited in a big rush, despite it is a city very attractive. The main visit in Philadelphia was the "Rocky-Stairs", which is good for fans but definitely not the most beautiful monument of the city.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Dear Parsifal, Thank you very much for your feedback on your experience and we are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied. With your feedback we can pinpoint these areas of opportunity and we will be working hard to eliminate those negative aspects and achieve a better service. We hope you can give us a second chance to change your perspective on us. Kind regards from quality team of Amigo Tours.

Washington DC and Philadelphia, wonderful tour, excellent guide. Such a shame it poured with rain and most of us were soaked.
Fantastic and informative day, highly recomend
Louise_S, Sep 2023
Informative trip, took us directly to all the main monuments in Washington and Philadelphia. Our guide Alice was fantastic. Be prepared that it is a long day and lots of hours on a coach but still I would highly recommend if you are interested in seeing these 2 cities well worth the journey,
One day trip
