Washington D.C. Full Day Tour from New York

Leave New York early in the morning and head south through the states of New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland and straight into the political heart of America: Washington D.C..

The first stop of the day is Arlington National Cemetery, a solemn and symbolic place where you can visit the tomb of the Kennedy family and learn about the history behind this space dedicated to the country's heroes.

Afterwards, the tour continues to Capitol Hill, the epicentre of American power. From there you will see the Capitol, the Senate and the White House, three of the most recognisable buildings in the world and symbols of democracy.

The tour continues with a visit to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, which houses a unique collection of spacecraft, rockets and artefacts that tell the story of aviation and space exploration. (If the museum is not available, you will visit the equally fascinating National Museum of Natural History).

) In the afternoon, enjoy a scenic tour of the Lincoln, Korean and Vietnam Memorials, three monuments that evoke the courage and memory of generations. From their observation decks you will have some of the most iconic views of Washington.

To close the day, you'll board the bus back to New York as you take in the last sights of the American capital. A complete, comfortable and enriching tour that will allow you to see the essentials of Washington in just one day.
