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.

Our guide, Libby, was fantastic! This was a great orientation to DC on our first day. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed her history pop quizzes and monument scavenger hunt. The meetup was smooth. The red carts are easy to spot as soon as you exit the metro station. Our group consisted of the two of us and a solo traveler which gave the trip a more personalized feel. The last stop on our tour was The White House. We were really appreciative that we could end our tour there instead of going all the way back to the origin and having to retrace our steps.

Ellen was our tour guide, she was so friendly and well-informed. It was my mother's first time in D.C. and it was a perfect option for us to quickly cover a lot in one afternoon. Thank you, Ellen!

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.

Hi Mary, Thank you for your review. We rely on our travelers' feedback as it's a firsthand insight into what is happening on our trips. This allows us to review our trips and make improvements where necessary. Whilst weather is out of our control, we will share your experience with our operator to review. Unfortunately, the side curtains are a covid requirement, it is to keep everyone safe. We are delighted to read that your guide was good and provided the best they could given the circumstances. Thank you for your constructive comments and suggestions. We hope to welcome you on another adventure with us in the not too distant future.
