Start early to make it with it!

The cut off at 3:45 is a bit of a bummer. We would have like to take a loop around and the get off. But with the timing and driver encouraging us to get off so we “don’t waste time” it was a weird vibe. Also, the driver was a great tour guide so we would liked more time with that.

Wait times

Wait times to be picked up are significant longer than expected. In the Arlington Cemetery stops, there were multiple tour buses that took all the seats. Multiple times it was the second or third tram to come by before we got on. Wait times for these multiple times was 30 to 45 minutes.
