Stor tvådagarstur i Washington DC
Rundtur till Vita huset, Kapitolium och Smithsonian
Kliv ombord på den bekväma bussen vid Union Station och lyssna på chauffören som berättar om Washington DC:s historia och om stadens många monument, museer och minnesmärken. Du får gärna ställa vilka frågor du vill när du reser runt i staden.
Se Washington-monumentet, Tidal Basin och J Edgar Hoover-byggnaden (FBI:s högkvarter) från bussen, och gör pauser för fotografering på olika platser som minnesmärkena för National WWII, Martin Luther King Jr och Vita huset. Promenera runt Vita husets besökscenter och se hur en amerikansk presidents hem ser ut inifrån. Lär dig mer om verksamheten i den amerikanska regeringen under din rundtur till Kapitolium.
Tillbringa eftermiddagen på Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum eller Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, där du kan äta lunch (på egen bekostnad). Titta på de enorma samlingarna på dessa spektakulära museer på egen hand tills det är dags att ta bussen tillbaka till Union Station.
Obs! Endast tillträde till Vita husets besökscenter. Vita huset-rundturer måste arrangeras via din kongressrepresentant.
Mount Vernon-rundtur och eftermiddagstur med spårvagn
På morgonen reser du med buss från Union Station till Virginia för att besöka Mount Vernon, George Washingtons eleganta herrgårdsliknande hem. På Donald W Reynolds Museum and Education Center får du veta mer om USA:s första president via interaktiva skärmar, kortfilmer och hundratals personliga tillhörigheter. I Alexandria som ligger i närheten kan du också besöka Christ Church, en 1700-talskyrka som har besökts av flera amerikanska presidenter. Ät lunch i gamla stan i Alexandria (på egen bekostnad).
På eftermiddagen kliver du ombord på en spårvagn till Arlington National Cemetery, där tusentals soldater som har kämpat i amerikanska krig ligger begravda. Besök Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (den okände soldatens grav) och se USA:s tredje infanteriregemente genomföra ett vaktombyte. Med din guidade spårvagn får du också åka till gravarna där president John F Kennedy och hans bror Robert F Kennedy vilar.
Avsluta dagen med ytterligare en bussrundtur med fokus på minnesmärken i Washington DC. Kör förbi Pentagon och minnesmärkena för Jefferson, Lincoln, marinkårens krig (Iwo Jima), Koreakriget och Vietnamveteranerna. Du återvänder till Union Station ungefär kl. 16.00.

We had the 2 day tour. Mount Vernon and Arlington tours were wonderful! Our second day was the Best of DC tour and was too rushed...not enough time at the stops, monuments especially. Also instructions for arrival time first day were not accurate..arrived an hour too early and second day tour was delayed by 45 minutes because tour bus too small to accommodate guests...had to wait for another bus to arrive. Bus drivers were very knowledgable!!!
Was a brilliant tour. Day one round Washington, day two - Arlington and Mount Vernon. Thoroughly recommended.
It was a great experience, and the drivers were absolutely wonderful. they were knowledgeable and adjusted beautifully to weather conditions and the desires of all of us on the trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting D.C.
This tour is was amazing and I loved all the stops, on my second day to Arlington and Mt Vernon, I think the stop times should have been more equally. I could have had more time at Arlington and less time at Mt Vernon.
Excellent tours. Both days. Different drivers. Both knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to during our tour. Both went out of their way to add an extra stop for viewing. Each had 27 years experience giving tours of the city! . Gave recommendations throughout the tour to make our visit to D.C. more enjoyable. Only way to capture the full essence of the city and to appreciate all it has within it!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!
My husband and I really enjoyed our 2-day tour experience with Grayline Tours. They were professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable about D.C.! I would highly recommend this company to others. Touring Mount Vernon was more then I expected. There was so much to see!
When booked trip, didn't realise that first day of trip was basically an open top bus tour. Driver was also guide and told things along the route. He was very informative and entertaining but was not what I was expecting. Having booked many Viator trips in many countries I was expecting an individual guide who got off bus with you and explained things along way. This happened on 2nd trip I booked whilst in Washington through Viator at the same time. I just presumed that all trips had their own individual guide and not the job to be the Bus Driver as well. Same happened on 2nd day of trip. Driver, even though excellent and very informative, did not get off the bus with you.
