Return Details

Returns to original departure point
There are walking tours and there are bus tours, but this unique eCruiser tour of the Capitol provides an entirely new perspective on the city of Washington, DC and its many famous landmark locations.

Meet the guide and the rest of the small-group at L’Enfant Metro Stop, located at the corner of 7th and C Street. Then climb aboard a nifty eCruiser vehicle — an open-air, eco-friendly electric cart that offers as much in style as it does with substance.

The tour begins at one end of the famed Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research complex. Travel along through the historic monument areas, taking in the famous Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington Monuments, each a classic Washington DC icon in its own right. Then see the World War I, World War II, Korean War Veterans and the Vietnam Veterans memorial sites.

Next, see the most famous DC landmark of all, the White House, followed by Capitol Hill. Along the way, hear the historic stories and facts that make the city of Washington, DC one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States.

Your guide was good. It was just too cold to be enjoyable. The wind was 22 mph and no side curtains. This would probably be a great summer trip.

Elizabeth was excellent! We are from Frederick Md but we had out of town family who wanted to do a tour. My sister has a French exchange student and Elizabeth, a French major, eagerly volunteered to take our group. She was an excellent interpreter and educator. We all learned a lot. I would highly recommend!!!

Perfect way to tour the area

Was a great way to see all of the monuments and sites. Our tour guide, Roy was great and informative. So glad we found it and the weather was perfect! Worth every penny as we had no idea the area was so massive and it was a packed 2 hours. Would suggest this to anyone wanting to see the area and then you can figure out all the museums/sites you want to go too after. Thank you for a great tour Roy!

Tour was extremely informative and helped us get a lay of the land on day 1. I would recommend taking the tour early in your trip so that you can select the museums and monuments you want to go back to.

Don’t lug your bags, ride in style!

We had just a few hours in DC and had heavy backpacks with us. We met a couple on the train on the way in who said they always book this tour for out-of-town guests. So we got lucky and grabbed a spot. Sam was an amazing tour guide. He researches various places and changes up his script periodically, he said. He’s made it his own. The cart holds 7-8 but my son and I were the only ones riding that day. We were able to get a great overview and so many pics of many sites, with our backpacks bucked into the seats on the cart while he watched them while we walked around at some of the stops. It was a 2-hour overview and just what my teen and I needed for the day. Thanks, Sam, for the excellent tour!!
