Description
Washington D.C. has so many monuments that sightseeing can be bewildering. But on this Full-Day Guided sightseeing Bus and Walking Tour, tour guides will take you up close and personal to treasured monuments while expert drivers navigate Washington traffic while aboard a deluxe motor coach that's climate controlled for your comfort! Stop outside at 10+ Top DC attractions including the White House, US Capitol, and more.
This tour includes a seasonal 50 minute sightseeing cruise along the Potomac River starting in Georgetown Harbor, sailing past the monuments of the Tidal Basin (Lincoln Memorial, FDR Memorial, etc). During the low season when the boat cruise is not operating, travelers will make additional stops to the Jefferson Memorial, Air Force Memorial, and Pentagon Mall.
Starting at the access grounds of the US Capitol, you will have plenty to see today! Strolling the the grounds of the US Capitol Building, you will be surrounding in grandeur and architectural marvel: the US Botanic Garden, the Garfield Memorial, Ulysses Grant Memorial, the Peace Monument, and the iconic US Capitol Reflecting Pool are just some of the sites awaiting you.
Continue on to White House passing the Eisenhower Memorial, the Air and Space Museum, and the FBI Building, where you will have plenty of time for photos and will learn some interesting and little known facts about the Nation's Presidents past and present with a seasoned local guide.
Climb back on board for the final leg of this bus tour with visits to the WWII Memorial, one of the most visited monuments in the United States: the FDR, MLK Jr., the Korean and Vietnam Veterans Memorials, the US Marine Corps War Memorial and the Vietnam Women's Memorial.
Continue along to Georgetown Harbor with a stop for lunch (not included) for the next part of your day of DC sightseeing: a 50 minute narrated cruise of the Potomac River to take view of the Nation's Capital and the Virginia Coastline by water.
In low season from March 27 to Oct 14, your lunch stop will be in Virginia at the Fashion Centre Mall in Pentagon City, where rain or shine (or snow!) you'll have plenty of options to pick from. You'll continue on across the Potomac River back into Washington DC for an extended bus tour of the Tidal Basin monuments, including the Jefferson Memorial and the Iwo Jima/Marine Corp Memorial.
