Lots of walking. Great sights, informative history all around a good overall highlight for your first trip to DC. Skip the boat ride portion. Not worth the extra money

Itinerary
Ground access to the US Capitol where you walk with a live guide who will narrate the history and opportunity to take pictures
See where our US President and family live. Make sure to bring your camera.
Visit the World War II memorial and witness history of the war. The memorial is dedicated to Americans who served in the armed forces and as civilians during World War II. The memorial consists of 56 pillars, representing U.S. states and territories, and a pair of small triumphal arches for the Atlantic and Pacific theaters, surrounding an oval plaza and fountain.
Explore The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the national memorial located in West Potomac Park next to the National Mall. It covers four acres and includes the Stone of Hope, a granite statue of Civil Rights Movement leader Martin Luther King Jr. carved by sculptor Lei Yixin. The inspiration for the memorial design is a line from King's "I Have a Dream" speech: "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." The memorial opened to the public on August 22, 2011, after more than two decades of planning, fund-raising, and construction.
Visit the FDR Memorial, the presidential memorial in Washington D.C., dedicated to the memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, and to the era he represents. The memorial is the second of two that have been constructed in Washington to commemorate that president. Other sculptures depict scenes from the Great Depression, such as listening to a fireside chat on the radio and waiting in a bread line, a bronze sculpture by George Segal. A bronze statue of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt standing before the United Nations emblem honors her dedication to the UN. It is the only presidential memorial to depict a First Lady.
See the iconic Lincoln Memorial and look all the way to the US Capitol.

Wonderful tour guide Tyrone. He knew his trade well. Very good driver as well. The half day tour of the main monuments in Washington DC was comprehensive. Good balance between bus and walking portions of the tour.
Very informative! Make it your initial activity. It’ll help familiarize with the area & planning the rest of your stay!

Great tour! The information provided by our tour guide, Tyron, was very educational and served with a sense of humor. He even shared with us some spots we can go to try some of the best foods in DC. Also, as busy as the streets of DC are in the Summer, our family felt safe with Steve as our driver. Steve was also polite and punctual.
Great tour!

We found the tour very good, however, the website said you would pick up and drop off at the same location. We had to walk from the White House to our car parked near the pickup point, The museum of National Archives, which is quite a distance. The driver told us 4 blocks but it was more like 1-1/2 to 2 miles. Also we didn’t get into the Capital Building as the website advertised. We did learn a lot and will refer the tour informing future customers of our experience.

The guide was excellent! Really made the stories come to life! We saw all the main attractions in a comfortable bus. We came from London and it was a fantastic introduction to American history for the family.
