Itinerary:

When you take a tour in Washington, DC, your first priority is usually to see the icons – the White House, monuments, the Capitol, and the Smithsonians. But once you’ve done that (perhaps with us on our Washington DC Unveiled tour), what do you say to getting out of the DC core and into the local neighborhoods?

We love immersing our guests in local life, and that’s just what awaits you on this Washington, DC tour. Hop aboard our all-electric eCruiser vehicle and venture with us out into places like Foggy Bottom and the Eastern Market, where locals spend their time and tourists don’t often visit.

Along the way you’ll catch some icons, like the Kennedy Center and Ford’s Theater (where President Lincoln was shot). On our way into Washington, DC’s Chinatown, we’ll head under the Friendship Archway, said to be the largest such single span archway in the world. After, you’ll be tempted to pick up some fresh treats at the Eastern Market, Washington, DC’s oldest continually operating public fresh food market. If there’s time, we may even be able to get to enjoy the beautiful views and parks of Navy Yard.

The beauty of this Washington, DC tour is that the eCruiser allows us to cover more ground than a walking tour, so you can reach all of these fascinating places in a short period of time. Also, it’s totally green!

If you’re looking to get off the beaten path in Washington, DC, then this is the tour for you. Come join us on this unique Washington, DC tour and explore parts of the city rarely seen by first-time visitors. The sights and experiences will last a lifetime - or at least until your next visit to Washington, DC!

Tipping:

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this trip
