The Experience

What your day looks like

Board your glamourous, climate-controlled panoramic bus at the U.S. Navy Memorial for one of the best bus tours in Washington DC. Expanding on our popular Highlights Tour, this six-hour excursion also includes a lunch break and the opportunity to travel through the Tidal Basin. Our signature day tour offers you the flexibility to choose between two types of luxury buses: Closed-Top Bus: Enjoy your tour in a climate-controlled, luxury closed-top bus, ensuring a comfortable experience regardless of the weather. Convertible Bus: Upgrade to our convertible tour bus for a unique sightseeing experience with an open-air view when weather permits, and a climate-controlled, glass-top roof for comfort during sudden weather changes. Seasonal Note: Convertible buses switch from open-tops to glass-tops between October and March to accommodate for colder temperatures. 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 and Franklin Roosevelt. 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. In winter, instead of the seasonal boat ride, this Washington bus tour culminates with a visit to the Pentagon City Please note that an upgrade option for this tour is conducted with a luxury glass-top or open-top convertible bus led by a driver/guide in one!
