Washington D.C.

Washington, D.C. in four days is a study in compression — the National Mall stretches just under two miles, but the history packed along its edges spans more than two centuries. This tour moves through the capital with that density in mind, threading together the founding-era architecture of Capitol Hill, the sobering weight of the war memorials on the Mall, and the world's largest museum complex, all within walking distance of one another. Your group stays in a centrally located three- or four-star hotel, which means the monuments are close and early mornings are genuinely possible.
