  Full Itinerary

Ready to take on a city full of history and art? We've combined two of our most amazing Washington DC tours (Smithsonian American Art Adventure and Monuments by Night) into one fun-filled evening. First, you head into the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery where we teach you about important American artists and some of the unsung heroes in our country's story.

You also have the opportunity to hop out and explore on your own at the FDR, MLK, and Lincoln memorials. Finally, feast your eyes on the White House before heading to your next adventure.

Dress standard: Dress appropriately for the season and weather conditions and wear comfortable walking shoes as much of the tour is outside.

Our guides take you back to the city's origins and give you some tips for exploring the city on your own. We work our way through the Smithsonian area, discussing the best exhibits in each. Then, we breeze past the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, and around the tidal basin.

We talk about a local janitor's 14-year masterpiece, which was found by chance in his garage, we discuss the American dream, check out the original Singer sewing machine, and get to know the key figures and power players of US history.

Inclusions: Local English-speaking guide, transportation in an all-electric seven-passenger Red Roadster vehicle

Closure of sites: Peaceful demonstrations, a mainstay of life in Washington, DC, may slightly alter our route, but they also add to the enrichment of the experience.
