About this tour

Bottled water and an air-conditioned vehicle help keep the four-hour outing comfortable.

How the score works and rating distribution in Washington DC
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 12% in Washington DC means it ranks in the top 12% of tours in Washington DC by this score.
