Hop on/off tours in Washington DC

[JaxJags08]

Have any of you done one? We may be going to DC, but only for a very short amount of time. My parents walk really slow and I'm pregnant, so extensive walking just won't work for us this trip.

My parents did the double-decker bus in NYC and really enjoyed it, but I heard that the lines for those are long and the buses very infrequent. I heard good things about the trolley, but did you feel like you couldn't really see the sites from inside of it?

We did the tourmobile - biggest waste of money. There was never one there, and we once waited 40 minutes in direct sun, to be packing in like sardines (they don't seem to move unless they're 100% full - they once made 2 overweight people squeeze in to each other). On the other hand, my friend did the trolley at night, and loved it, and I saw MANY trollies come and go while we waited (and I wondered why the price for the tourmobile was less, and the line for trolley tickets was longer...).
