My family and I just returned from a week's visit. It's worth it, but I do NOT recommend renting a car. The traffic is horrendous. Ride share, public transportation is best. Also, don't underestimate walking time where you might think..."ah it's not so bad." WRONG- DC is NOT really walkable. Just my experience.
Rob, my wife and I just returned from an 8 day vacation in DC yesterday. I cannot overstate how valuable your videos were to help us prepare for our experiences in and around DC. I will be telling anyone I know going to DC to watch your videos. Keep up the good work.
My family just returned from DC and everyone was impressed with my knowledge of the area, metro, buses, etc. I told them it wasn't me its all Rob from Trip Hacks DC.
Thank you for all your wonderful and informative videos. Thank you for the heads up on the ongoing construction and upcoming fare increases this summer.
This is a good heads-up. It is gonna be my first time in the US. I will pre-book our visits to museums. Done getting our access to Capitol. Thank you for the update.
Hi Rob! Any tips for seniors traveling to DC. My parents will be there in October. They’re still mobile; just a little slower and long walking tours probably not a good idea for them.
I have two tips: Do not underestimate the distances on the Mall. The Mall is very walkable but the distances between memorials is bigger than you think. If it’s humid hop a circulator bus to the other end…..no shame. The other is to HYDRATE!! I guess this falls under the great shoes category perhaps.
We are coming from the U.K. 7/31 to 8/5 , when you mention the “Metro” is that the subway trains only or does that encompass trains and buses ? Thanks 👍🏻
My own impressions after first visit -- very clean subway compared to NYC, Uber is very cheap, art museum and air & space museum closed (but portrait gallery is open), Chinatown is a joke, too many young kids on e-bikes and scooters at the national mall.
We are going to be touring in DC in a couple weeks and were wondering if there were motorized carts to rent for people who can't be on their feet too long?
Damn. I was really weeks away from my trip, thank you for this. I will just wait until the memorials are back to normal. Just seems like the worst possible summer to visit.
I will be staying crystal city hotel On July 4th I’d like to watch firework from National Airport because I need to near by restroom ( I’m senior ) Any suggestions ? Looking forward to hear from you Thank you soo much
Hi Rob, how are you? My wife and I are from Brazil and we're going to visit Washington DC in August this year. My question is about Capital Bikeshare. Could you help me, please? If I sign up for a day of Bikeshare, which costs 8 dollars, can I park my bike at a Bikeshare kiosk while I visit a museum on the National Mall and after I leave the museum take another one or the same bike to go to another attraction or will that cost something? Thanks for your help.
Wow! Very nice video and update. Please Rob, kindly give me a Three months iternary to D.C (i.e Virginia, Down town, Maryland ) and even most attractive places to visit in America. Esther from Ghana. Thank You, God richly bless you.
Good news! The main elevator at the Jefferson Memorial is back open - th-cam.com/users/shorts0gma6TGBxLQ
Love you're videos. Coming to DC in 2 weeks. Any good things happening
I have been binging your videos non stop in preparation for an upcoming trip with my daughter at the end of august. Hopefully it’s worth visiting.

We are going to be touring in DC in a couple weeks and were wondering if there were motorized carts to rent for people who can't be on their feet too long?
Motorized Carts for DC Tourists?
How much is to schedule a tour with you?
Depends which tour you choose. Check out: www.triphacksdc.com/tours
Damn. I was really weeks away from my trip, thank you for this. I will just wait until the memorials are back to normal. Just seems like the worst possible summer to visit.
There will always be at least one or two major memorials or sites under construction. If you try to wait for "back to normal" it may never arrive.
@TripHacksDC Alright that makes sense. Be there June 3rd lol
I was just there the construction around the Lincoln memorial didn't hurt the experience

@@TripHacksDC thanks Rob you are the goat!
FYI, Jazz in the Garden requires winning a ticket lottery to attend
Will you make a video about the 2024 Presidential Inauguration?
Unlikely. There is a podcast episode about inaugurations if you are interested in the topic. www.triphacksdc.com/podcast25
