About This Tour

Join us for this fun-filled and informative day seeing all of D.C.'s most important monuments and sights in style.  Our knowledgeable and entertaining live guide expertly narrates the tour on our climate-controlled bus as you take in the National Mall, the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial plus so much more. You'll also hop off the bus at key stops to walk with your guide and hear fascinating and sometimes surprising facts, while getting unforgettable photos of the most famous sights as well as some hidden gems. From mid-April to mid-October, your tour also includes a scenic boat ride along the Potomac River from historic Georgetown, where you also be able to get lunch on your own from several delicious options.

This one-of-a-kind, top-rated tour is a great way to see the city comfortably and conveniently in a single day!
