“Tyrika Kale was our driver, and she did an excellent job of driving defensively, particularly when a large white truck turned into our lane unexpectedly. She remained calm and got us safely to our next destination. All four of us sisters enjoyed the tour and liked seeing the city, especially with the motorcycle police officers paying tribute to their fallen comrades. Big Bus tours provide a fantastic way to explore our Capitol.”— Myreta on the Hop-on hop-off bus tour of Washington DC and Arlington Cemetery tour
