Gain an in-depth understanding of the U.S. capital on this tour combining a Potomac River cruise with a look into the past on a walking tour of Georgetown. Other tours of this historic neighborhood are difficult to reach, but on this tour, you’ll disembark from your cruise ready to explore! Alongside an expert guide, the area’s past is brought to life before your eyes.
Meet your guide at the wharf and step onto the ferry to see DC from the water. Hear about the history of the nation's capital as you pass by the district’s key landmarks, including the Titanic Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the Kennedy Center, and Watergate. You’ll also lay your eyes on one of the most filmed and photographed statues in the country: the Lincoln Memorial.
After you land at Georgetown Port, the second part of your tour begins. You’ll get an introduction to the oldest neighborhood in Washington DC as you head towards C&O Canal. Hear how George Washington himself was instrumental in redesigning the untamed wilderness here, transforming it into a national monument.
You’ll stop into a favorite local spot for something sweet afterwards. Try a delicious cupcake from a family-run bakery—owned by the winner of DC's Best Baker award for 2023—that’s earned the reputation as one of the best in town.
Afterwards, it’s time to continue to explore the fascinating neighborhood of Georgetown. Your guide will invite you into the past with anecdotes behind the sites as you pass. Learn about the oldest house in DC and the story behind buildings connected to the Kennedy family, including the church where JFK attended his last service before he was assassinated.
More riveting stories await when you get to Georgetown University, which counts "The Exorcist" author William Peter Blatty among its alumni. See the "Exorcist Steps" and hear about the true story of an exorcism that inspired him.
