This is a useful thread. I'm bookmarking for possible trip with my family.

Question, the last time I was there in the 1980's the Moonies would be outside all the major attractions and really made me angry. Are they still there?

We also rode a bus type thing around the White house and museums. It was a quick way to see a lot of locations. Do they still exist?

No, just the homeless, begging on every Smithsonian wall. :-\

Yes, buses exist major time!

The Moonies are gone. They aren't even inside the Reagan Airport anymore either.

And there are now 3 tour companies that have buses that ride all around the main DC area. One of the new ones is a bus the shape of a duck. I kid you not. But they're all fun and all are cheap. Worth every penny to not have to worry about going to one or the other of the Metro Stations.
