Lonely Planet Experiences Private Washington DC Tour

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 begin our DC trip 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 will entertain you with the story behind the amazing museums and help you choose which one you will visit during your stay.

 

Then, we will bring you to see two of DC’s most remarkable 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 will be blown away by views of the Potomac River and the National Mall sparkling in the dark.

 

Be amused by stories of the city’s history, statues, and famous buildings on your way to the White House, where you can possibly see the most iconic American structure. Continue on toward Capitol Hill to be astounded by the Capitol Building. Finish your tour on a high note by asking your guide for some recommendations for the rest of your stay in the city.

 

Our RedRoadsters are the personal and comfortable way to tour the National Mall. Equipped with roll-down clear siding, they’re the best way to look around in the rain or wind. For your comfort, we also prepare warm blankets in our vehicles during winter.

 

(If you’d prefer to travel as part of a regular group experience, please book our Monuments by Night group tour.)

 

This tour is priced by vehicle. If your party is more than 7, please contact us for pricing.
