Open-Top or Glass-Top National Mall Bus Tour Plus Seasonal Cruise
Overview
There’s no better way to tour Washington, DC, than with USA Guided Tours’ Glass-Roof Convertible Bus Tour! This unparalleled, glass-roof sightseeing experience features our glass-top, convertible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter!
Hop aboard and catch incredible panoramic views with an expert tour guide as your chauffeur and narrator. You will begin by exploring the National Mall to observe the United States Capitol, White House, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr., Memorial, and much more while passing by and learning about other significant landmarks.
This tour operates year-round, rain or shine. The glass top, when closed, is completely waterproof and air-tight, so sudden weather or temperature changes are never a problem.
For a unique experience, this tour offers a leisurely cruise on the Potomac River (seasonal: Apr to Oct) in Georgetown in the warmer months, and during the fall/winter, we get to experience the Pentagon City.
