The tour begins with an up close view of the US Capitol, then you'll stop at Lafayette Square, offering a superb view of the White House. Next, you'll pass through the National Mall, along the Potomac River to the beautifully illuminated Jefferson Memorial, where you'll have the opportunity to climb the marble steps to the temple that houses a breathtaking statue of our third President.
