See Washington DC’s iconic monuments in a single morning on a Guided Morning Sightseeing Bus & Walking Tour with an experienced guide. Pass by over 20+ sites including National Archives, Freedom Plaza, Jefferson Memorial and stop for photos outside top locations including the White House, US Capitol, MLK Memorial, and more. Hear insider stories about DC’s politicians and historic figures as you explore their moving war memorials, Presidential sites and government buildings, and get the perfect introduction to America’s capital city. Tours will conclude at the Washington Monument where travelers will be provided Admission Tickets for self-guided entry into the attraction. Many tours are offered of the various monuments and landmarks of the nation's capital but very few include the Washington Monument. Though you can view it by riding by on a regular tour, this tour offers you a unique chance to get a peek inside and climb to the top of the structure.

Our tour guide was wonderful. It would have been nice if he had a microphone because at times , even on the van, it was hard to hear him. We had purchased the Washington Monument ticket. We were the only ones in our group who had so we were left at the monument 2 1/2 hours before our tour time. There needs to be better communication regarding the description of this tour. We had to rearrange our afternoon plans. Still a good tour, lunch added would be a nice option. We did a Hoover Dam tour from Vegas that included lunch and it was wonderful. The timing of this tour made it difficult to plan the day.

This tour is a complete scam. It misleads customers with false advertising. I booked it specifically for the promised entry to the Washington Monument — as the title clearly states: "Entry to Washington Monument with guided bus tour through the city in the morning." Anyone would assume that this includes actual admission (not just the price but the opportunity to enter in and of itself) to the Monument. It's the exact opposite of what was advertised. I wasted both time and money on a tour that failed to deliver its most basic and advertised feature. Avoid at all costs.

Good half day tour. The tour stops at various primary places (all good) of interest. Very hot day - water was provided. Public rest rooms were available at several stops. Entertaining narrator, he was good at drawing the kids in our tour in. I was hoping he'd dig a little further in to details behind some of the statues at a few of the sites. Gave general information about what we were seeing along the way and what we were seeing at the various stops we made. Was hoping for a little more detail and insight. A good overview of the city, though. A longer version of the tour is available. We only paid for the 1/2 day tour which included a trip up and down the Washington Monument, which was our primary goal.

Tyrone our guide was very nice and informative . Chatted to guests as e strolled along not putting anyone under pressure as there were families and older people with us also . You could see his love for his job and also quite funny as well . We were dropped and collected by our great driver who always had ice cold water ready for us as it was very warm . Really enjoyed our 3+ hours on this trip of some of Washington’s amazing monuments
