Description

Take the most comprehensive guided tour of Washington DC there is! This tour combines a bus tour with short walks and either a private boat cruise on the Potomac River during spring and summer months, or a visit to Pentagon City Mall for lunch and shopping during the rest of the year.

Introduction

Other tours of DC either use a recording or their tour guide stays on the bus when you hop off. On this tour, the guide will get off the bus with you and walk you through each attraction, showing it to you in detail. The guide will also join you on the boat cruise (operates March 15 to October 31 only), so you will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the day. Outside of spring and summer (November 1 to March 14) you'll visit Pentagon City Mall for lunch and shopping.

During this tour, you'll see all the DC monuments and memorials up close and personal, and learn the history and trivia surrounding the US capital. It's great for kids and adults of all ages! This tour provides a great overview of the Washington DC if you have a limited time to visit.

Photo stops are made at major Washington DC monuments, and you'll be entertained and informed by the tour guide's expert commentary throughout the day.

Your guide will hop off the shuttle with you at every major attraction, including:

US Capitol Building
Washington Monument
World War II Memorial
Jefferson Memorial
FDR Memorial
Boat Cruise Up the Potomac River

We only have one day in Washington and wanted to make the most of the time we had and decided to take a guided tour instead of a hop-on/hop off.

The tour is run by Onboard tours and is small group. The tour guide is very knowledgable and sense of humour made the tour very enjoyable.

Despite the poor weather and no heating on the bus as the heated bus was stolen our tour guide, Amy, persevered and provided excellent knowledge of local monuments. An exciting tour well worth the money.

Nice bus, lots of botled water, a really good tour guide who was funny, knew his history and took good care of us. The bus driver was carefull and we felt safe. We saw the highlights in D.C. with all the facts to go with them. Even though we had seen some of the places before, it was great to have the guide explain a lot of details and facts.
