Overview

Get the presidential treatment with the most comprehensive Washington DC day tour! The tour includes reserved access to the National Archives Building and the U.S. Capitol Building!

Your tour includes guided stops at the White House (outside only), the National World War II and World War I Memorials, Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial.

After lunch, summer brings the opportunity for a boat ride through Georgetown and the DC Waterfront. The tour price includes a complimentary boat ride, and tourists will have the opportunity to purchase lunch at one of several waterfront restaurants in the summer.

Our tour guide, Nick, did a WONDERFUL job sharing information about each stop. He was very organized and continued to check on the group throughout the tour. He was personable and funny yet professional. It was a great day!

Was a good tour and value for money for me - you get to see the highlights of DC. It was raining a lot that day so it was very nice to have the glass-top tour bus to drive you everywhere. The tour started off with guide Nick who impressed the group with his knowledge about which two statues each state has within the capitol. He was very pleasant. Thereafter the tour continued with guide Nataliana and driver Eugene. Nataliana could tell us the details of the memorials and their designs and significance. Eugene drove safely. Enjoyed it. Maybe one point for improvement, when we entered the nat. archives and passed the security check, the guides were gone (i.e. the guided tour ended there and we were on our own). Could be that I've missed something, but that ending was a bit sudden / confusing. Just a minor thing - didn't ruin my day.

Deon was a fantastic tour guide! Entertaining and extremely knowledgeable! The visit to the Capital was a bit hap-hazard, but that was before we met up with Deon on the bus.
