2.Washington DC 2-Hour Cart Shuttle Morning Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $65

Start at 9:00 am at the Hamilton Hotel for a two-hour golf cart tour of Washington’s landmarks. Your English-speaking guide takes you past the Capitol and along the National Mall, with short walks at the White House, memorials, and more. Guides named Yohannes and Johannes have led this tour, though your assigned guide may vary.

“Johannes is the best tour guide. Friendly, accommodating and went above and beyond to show me and my son all of the sights and monuments. Added bonus - he shared his in depth knowledge of the DC area through the stories and history behind each of the monuments. The marathon was on - so a lot of road closures, but Johannes took us around the back streets to make sure we didn't miss any of the monuments. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants to see all of DC, and hear the history behind it.”
