Ready to test your night-photography skills and see some jaw-dropping views while learning the history of the United States through the National Mall? Hop on our all-electric Red Roadsters and get ready for the ride of your vacation! We start our DC tour at the Smithsonian metro station, where our guides take you back in time to the city’s origins and give you some tips for exploring the city on your own. As we work our way through the Smithsonian complex, our guides regale you with the story behind our amazing museums and help you choose which one you will visit during your stay. Next, we take you past two of DC’s most incredible monuments, the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial. Afterward, you’re able to wander through the FDR and MLK memorials and enjoy a stroll along the jaw-dropping Tidal Basin at sunset. Continue on past the World War I and World War II Memorials to the Lincoln Memorial, where you’re blown away by views of the Potomac River and the National Mall sparkling in the dark. Be entertained by stories of the city’s history, statues, and famous buildings on your way to the White House, where you see possibly the most iconic American structure. Continue on toward Capitol Hill to be astounded by the Capitol Building. End your tour on a high note by asking your guide for some recommendations for the rest of your stay in the city.
