3 Days in Washington DC: Suggested Itineraries
Must-Do Experience, Tip - Suggested Itineraries, Tip - What to See & Do, Monument - Historical
To some, Washington DC means white marble, verdant lawns, and the colorful, ritualistic pageantry of American politics: the Capitol dome; limousine processions on Inauguration Day; the mournful, somber, stately changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery. To others, D.C. is a bustling metropolis, filled with chic bars, ethnic diversity, and a soft undercurrent of the American South. To those that know, it is all these things.
Day 1: Welcome to D.C.
There are so many things to do in Washington D.C., where does one begin? Best bet is to sate that cultural craving and head off to see some sites either guided by day, by night, or by hop-on-hop-off trolley. Depending on what option you choose, you might consider purchasing a Power Pass in order to save some money.
Day 2: Mount Vernon
Your bearings made, spend today in Mt. Vernon, the land of America’s first president, general George Washington. A half-day tour of the mansion and farm of this widely-loved icon will give you a good sampling of the beautiful Virginian land and how life was lived those two-hundred odd years ago. Take lunch and consider spending the afternoon shopping in Georgetown, before heading back to DC for a relaxing and scenic dinner cruise.
Day 3: Relax and Sightsee
With so many things to do in DC, you might be feeling overwhelmed, but there’s no reason to (you’re on vacation, after all!). Washington DC will share its majesty with you whether you’re taking a morning jog down the famous Potomac, or Segwaying your way through its many monuments, or stopping in on some of its famous restaurants and bars. The Round Robin bar in the Willard Hotel is famous for its history of notable guests, knowledgeable bartenders, and tasty mint juleps. Highly recommended.
FANTASTIC-Our first driver was GREAT, sorry I have forgotten his name but he picked us up
between 11 and 12 that morning, but both drivers were very informative and friendly! I have already recommended your services.
An absolutely wonderful day, with Tony the bus driver being both informative and entertaining. This is a must for anyone with only a couple of days in DC.

Had read about how good Bob was on this tour and everything written is true. He made this day more than we could imagine. Mt Vernon is a must and Arlington also. So glad we got to do this tour and see a lot of Washington and the area.
