See the White House, the memorials and the Capitol in one relaxed afternoon, with your own chauffeur sharing the stories at every stop.

Semi-guided monuments tour

Washington's icons, at your own pace

The National Mall is two miles long, and the memorials are spread out across it. Walking it all in one day is exhausting, and parking near the monuments is almost impossible. Our private DC tour solves both problems: your chauffeur drives you from landmark to landmark, drops you as close as possible, and waits at the nearest pickup point while you explore.

This is a semi-guided tour. Between stops your chauffeur shares the history and the interesting details behind each place, from why the stone of the Washington Monument changes color partway up to the quote carved into the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. At each stop, you walk and explore on your own for as long as the schedule allows.

The standard tour lasts 3 hours, and it can be extended. It works beautifully during the day, and many guests choose an evening tour, when the memorials are lit and the Mall is quieter.

FAQ

DC city tour questions

How long is the DC city tour?

The standard tour is 3 hours, which covers all the stops on the itinerary. You can book more time to stay longer at the memorials or add stops like Georgetown or Arlington National Cemetery.

Is the chauffeur a licensed tour guide?

The tour is semi-guided. Your chauffeur shares the history and stories of each landmark as you drive, and you explore each stop on your own. It is a relaxed, private alternative to a formal guided tour.

Where does the chauffeur wait during each stop?

Parking is not allowed directly at most memorials, so your chauffeur drops you as close as possible and waits at the nearest legal pickup area, then meets you when you are ready.

Can we do the tour at night?

Yes. An evening tour is a guest favorite. The memorials are lit up, the crowds are smaller, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials are especially beautiful after dark.

Can we go inside the White House or the Capitol?

Interior tours are arranged separately, through your member of Congress or the Capitol Visitor Center. We are happy to drop you off and pick you up around a reserved tour time.
