Description

Discover Washington DC with our very own Nick McCall — “The DC Tour God” — as featured on Netflix’s Queer Eye. A true Washington DC native and one of our most-requested licensed tour guides, Nick brings the nation’s capital to life with insider stories, real history, and charisma you won’t find on a standard sightseeing tour!

Board your luxury, climate-controlled tour bus at the U.S. Navy Memorial for one of the best bus tours in Washington DC. This six-hour Washington DC sightseeing tour expands on our popular Highlights Tour with a lunch break, a visit through the Tidal Basin, and a relaxing seasonal boat cruise on the Potomac River.

Once you’ve learned about some of the most fascinating landmarks in the USA, including the White House, U.S. Capitol Building, and National Archives, you’ll get to see the breathtaking memorials of Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Jr.

The tour then takes you to the iconic National Mall for guided walks at the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, and World War II Memorial. After lunch, summer brings the opportunity for a leisurely one-hour boat ride on the Potomac through Georgetown and the DC Waterfront.

The tour price includes a complimentary boat cruise (Apr 1 – Sep 30), and travelers will have the opportunity to purchase lunch at one of several waterfront restaurants. In the winter months (Oct 1 – Mar 31), instead of the seasonal boat ride, this Washington bus tour culminates with a visit to Pentagon City.

This guided tour offers the perfect balance of historic landmarks, scenic river views, and expert storytelling — all in one efficient, all-in-one Washington DC experience that’s ideal for families, couples, and first-time visitors to the capital.

The full itinerary of this tour includes:
• Jefferson Memorial
• U.S. Capitol Building
• FDR Memorial
• World War II Memorial
• Iwo Jima Memorial
• Vietnam Memorial
• Martin Luther King Memorial
• Lincoln Memorial
• White House
