Washington DC Full-Day Bus Tour, Seasonal Potomac River Cruise

Washington DC 6 hours

In the morning, meet your guide and tour group at the National Archives Building to begin this comprehensive tour around Washington DC. Travel aboard an air-conditioned, deluxe coach with a guide who knows the city inside and out. Drive by more than 100 of Washington DC’s top sights, with stops at 10 of them, including the United States Capitol, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and more. Along the way, hear the historic stories and facts that make the city one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. There is a lunch break roughly halfway through the day (own expense). This tour also features a scenic boat cruise along the Potomac River (seasonally, generally available from April through mid October), or a stop at the Jefferson Memorial at other times of year. After a full day out, the tour ends at the original starting point. However, you can choose to upgrade to include admission to the Washington Monument, National Air and Space Museum, or the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
