National Archives VIP Skip-The-Line Small Group Guided Tour
Overview
Don't waste your D.C. vacation waiting in the massive lines outside the National Archives! Book this VIP Skip-the-Line tour and gain priority access to the most important documents in American history.
With an ultra-small group size capped at just 6 guests, you'll avoid the crowded, impersonal bus tours and enjoy a premium, conversational experience with an expert historian.
Once inside, you'll bypass the crowds and head directly to the Rotunda. Stand face-to-face with the original Charters of Freedom: the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Your guide will bring these documents to life, sharing the incredible secrets of how they were drafted, hidden during wartime, and preserved in this highly secure vault. You'll also get to view a rare 1297 copy of the Magna Carta!
Highlights:
VIP Priority Access: Skip the hours-long general admission lines.
