The whole tour lasts about 15 hours including the bus ride included in this tour. Thanks to the tour guide who will accompany you throughout the tour, you will get to know all the historical and political monuments of Washington DC, the capital of the United States.
You will get to know the heart of the US government. In particular, you'll visit the world-famous White House, where the President resides. The Capitol and the Senate, where political representatives have been meeting for more than two centuries.
However, not all the monuments are political, but you will also visit poignant locations. These include the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, where John F. Kennedy's grave is located, and the imposing Lincoln Memorial. The latter is dedicated to the most remembered president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.
