DC Monuments and Capitol Hill Tour by Electric Cart

Overview
See Washington DC’s major sites in a fun, unique way – aboard an electric cart! As you explore Capitol Hill, see famous monuments and landmarks including the White House, US Capitol Building, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Smithsonian and more. These eco-friendly, all-electric vehicles let you enjoy the fresh air while admiring great up-close views of DC's major locations and off-the-beaten-path areas. You'll also hop off your cart to explore some areas by foot.

This is a small group experience, with each electric cart limited to a max of 7 people. Whilst we do our best to seat groups together, we aren’t able to guarantee to seat together and at times groups may be asked to sit on separate carts.

This was a mixed experience a lot of pros and a few cons pros were our guide Paul who was knowledgeable and funny and kindly dropped us all off near our hotels versus back at the starting point we had plenty of time to observe the monuments and were spared the long waits of getting on a bus and off of us that we might have experienced with a larger bus tour Cons for me were that I did not realize when we booked the tour that only five of the seven would be sitting behind the driver and the last two would be at the rear of the cart facing backwards right into oncoming traffic I found that experience terrifying given Washington traffic and had I known that was an option would have made a different arrangement.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. It’s great to know that Paul did a good job and that you found him knowledgeable and funny, you were able to avoid queues and that he was able to drop you near to your hotel. However, we are sorry to learn that you were disappointed with seating arrangements on the cart. We do show a picture of the vehicle used on our website that helps to shows this configuration, nevertheless we are sorry to note this was missed and for any negative impact this may have had.

I loved being in a small group. Our guide, Ellen was very knowledgeable and nice. She even provided blankets which made it very cozy with it being so chilly out.
