About This Experience

A 14- to 15-hour guided day trip with three morning departures from 7th Avenue and West 51st Street, rated 4.6 from more than 540 reviews. The coach leaves through the Lincoln Tunnel and stops in Maryland for breakfast.

Washington starts in Virginia: past the Pentagon, then an hour on foot at Arlington National Cemetery and a drive through Georgetown. On the National Mall the guide walks you through the Lincoln, Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Veterans Memorials, then on to photo stops at the White House and the U.S. Capitol.

The last 90 minutes are yours on the Mall, for a Smithsonian museum or a late lunch. On the way home the coach stops at Hamilton Park in New Jersey for the Manhattan skyline after dark, then drops you in the Times Square area.

This was amazing day. I learn lots that day and see many places I saw in tv.But now was real.Guide was very professional

Absolutely fantastic day, the guide was funny and knowledgeable and being next to the most iconic monuments and buildings we've seen over time was amazing and also surreal. A few pointers to make the day better - less time at Arlington Cemetery and more time at Lincoln Memorial - the big attractions are what people go for and we felt very rushed a few times at the sites we should have had the most time at. Also your guide wasn't strict enough with the group and therefore lateness made us have even less time at the sites we wanted to see the most so things got cut short due to the selfishness of some so that really needs reinforcing for groups so large, around 50/60 in our group. BUT the day was amazing this is purely feedback, we all thorough enjoyed it
