Additionally, the tour is made to allow you to get on and off at any moment and explore independently. This helps you avoid walking long distances because we pick you up frequently at all of our stops.

On the east end of the mall, you can see the Capitol building, the Supreme Court, and the Library of Congress. See the Museum of Natural History, the National Gallery, and the Smithsonian.

Visit the Lincoln Memorial, FDR Memorial, and Jefferson Memorial to learn about some of the nation's most important presidents. Visit the Koshland Science Museum and the International Spy Museum. Remember to take a look at the big white structure located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
