Grand tour de Washington DC en deux jours
Visite de la Maison-Blanche, du Capitole et de la Smithsonian Institution
Montez dans votre confortable autocar à Union Station, et écoutez votre chauffeur raconter des récits sur l'histoire de Washington DC et des faits relatifs à sa multitude de monuments, musées et mémoriaux. N'hésitez pas à poser des questions lorsque vous voyagez dans la ville.
Découvrez le Washington Monument, Tidal Basin et le J Edgar Hoover Building (siège du FBI) depuis votre autocar, et faites des arrêts photo dans de nombreux sites, dont le mémorial de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le mémorial Martin Luther King Jr et la Maison-Blanche. Promenez-vous dans le centre des visiteurs de la Maison-Blanche pour découvrir à quoi ressemble l'intérieur de la résidence du président américain. Vous en apprendrez plus sur le fonctionnement interne du gouvernement américain lors de votre visite du Capitole.
Passez l'après-midi au musée national de l'air et de l'espace (Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum) ou au musée national d'histoire naturelle (Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History), où vous pouvez faire une pause déjeuner (à vos frais). Explorez les énormes collections de ces musées spectaculaires à votre guise jusqu'à ce qu'il soit l'heure de retrouver votre autocar pour rentrer à Union Station.
Remarque : vous ne pouvez accéder qu'au centre des visiteurs de la Maison-Blanche. Les visites de la Maison-Blanche doivent être organisées par votre représentant au Congrès.
Excursion en tramway l'après-midi à Mount Vernon
Le matin, vous quitterez Union Station en autocar pour vous rendre en Virginie afin de visiter Mount Vernon, l'élégante résidence de George Washington. Au Donald W Reynolds Museum and Education Center, découvrez la vie du premier président américain à travers des expositions interactives, des courts-métrages et des centaines d'effets personnels. En outre, près d'Alexandrie, vous visiterez Christ Church, une église du XVIIIe siècle visitée par plusieurs présidents américains. Déjeunez dans la vieille ville d'Alexandrie (à vos frais).
Dans l'après-midi, montez dans un tramway à destination du cimetière national d'Arlington, où des milliers de soldats qui ont combattu dans des guerres américaines sont enterrés. Rendez-vous au tombeau du soldat inconnu et regardez le troisième régiment d'Infanterie des États-Unis effectuer la poignante relève de la garde. Votre visite commentée en tramway vous conduira également vers les tombes du président John F. Kennedy et de son frère, Robert F. Kennedy.
Terminez votre journée par une autre excursion en autocar consacrée aux monuments commémoratifs de Washington DC. Passez par le Pentagone et le Jefferson Memorial, le Lincoln Memorial, le Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima), le mémorial de la guerre de Corée et le mémorial des vétérans de la guerre du Vietnam. Vous retournerez à Union Station vers 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.
