Board your luxury, climate-controlled tour bus at the U.S. Navy Memorial for one of the best bus tours in Washington DC. This six-hour Washington DC sightseeing tour expands on our popular Highlights Tour with a lunch break, a visit through the Tidal Basin, and a relaxing seasonal boat cruise on the Potomac River.
This tour can also be booked with our very own Nick McCall — “The DC Tour God” — as featured on Netflix’s Queer Eye. A true Washington DC native and one of our most-requested licensed tour guides, Nick brings the nation’s capital to life with insider stories, real history, and the kind of charisma you only get from someone who genuinely loves this city. Whether you book with Nick or one of our other award-winning licensed DC tour guides, you’ll get the same full itinerary — and the same 5-star experience.
Once you’ve learned about some of the most fascinating landmarks in the USA, including the White House, U.S. Capitol Building, and National Archives, you’ll get to see the breathtaking memorials of Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Jr.
The tour then takes you to the iconic National Mall for guided walks at the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, and World War II Memorial.
After lunch, summer brings the opportunity for a leisurely one-hour boat ride on the Potomac through Georgetown and the DC Waterfront.
The tour price includes a complimentary boat cruise (Apr 1 – Sep 30), and travelers will have the opportunity to purchase lunch at one of several waterfront restaurants. In the winter months (Oct 1 – Mar 31), instead of the seasonal boat ride, this Washington bus tour culminates with a visit to Pentagon City.
This guided tour offers the perfect balance of historic landmarks, scenic river views, and expert storytelling — all in one efficient, all-in-one Washington DC experience that’s ideal for families, couples, and first-time visitors to the capital.

We had a wonderful tour with Joey! She was knowledgeable, engaged, funny, friendly and a terrific host. We highly recommend this tour. Our only regret is that we didn't have another day to spend in DC sightseeing! - Brittany W.
Thoroughly enjoyed our you, Brittany and Marcus were great! It was raining off and on all day but we still had a great time, they were energetic and thoughtful and attentive all day and gave us great info and tips. The tour was well planned and efficiently run. I was so glad we didn’t have to walk in the rain or try and drive around ourselves in it. I was a DC native for a few years and I’ve walked these memorials in the past, I would say the bus is the only way to go and those luxury buses are much nicer than the trolley style. - Eric M
Did it on my first day in DC and gave me ideas on what to revisit or what other venues to go to. The guide Christopher was very knowledgeable and came over excellently. - Russell P.
Very nice, John our guide, was an amazing host! He educated us on the history of each site we visited. He is engaging and kept us entertained. John and our driver Marquette were outstanding.
Christopher was amazing! The coolest guide ever. He made the DC trip a highlight of my trip!
Had a tour of DC yesterday with nick and was great . Very informative and funny.
