    Full description

    Join a walking tour of Washington and see iconic monuments like Capitol One, Washington Monument, and more with a guide. Later, use your entry tickets to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture at your own pace.

    Meet your guide at the White House and begin your tour of Washington DC. From the outside, learn about the history of the White House and the people who inhabited it. Your local guide will share stories about America’s history and the influence of African Americans in DC.

    Next, see Capitol One, one of the most architecturally impressive buildings in the world. Hear about the neoclassical United States Capitol, which is home to the House of Representatives and Senate.

    Finally, your guide will take you to the Washington Monument. Made of white marble and 550 feet tall, the obelisk is an iconic Washington DC landmark.

    My family and I were very happy and pleased with our tour. I booked the tour because my family were visiting from out of state and wanted to experience the historical history of our Capital. In addition, we were all excited about visiting the African American Museum. Our tour guide, was Amazing, Informative and thoroughly explained the History of statues, landmarks and key factors impacting the decisions made by the wars and constitution impacting our world today. I would highly recommend GetYourGuide tour services, you will definitely will not be disappointed and will walk away with more history knowledge that you came with.

    Wonderful, engaging tour with Dr Gibson. We enjoyed her energy, her anecdotes, and her enthusiasm. The time flew by so quickly and we are eager to tour again with her. She is knowledgeable without being pretentious and made everyone in our small group feel special for being part of the important journey we took around DC. What a meaningful way to experience a small piece of African American history in DC prior to entering the African American Museum.

    It was definitely worth it! Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and very relatable! He was a graduate of Howard University and we came for my niece’s graduation from Howard! It was like walking with a very informed family member because although he gave us a lot of valuable history, he was quite personable and made it impactful to our diverse family audience!!!
