Overview

There’s no better way to tour Washington, DC, than with USA Guided Tours’ Open-Top Convertible Bus Tour! This unparalleled, open-air 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 1 to Oct 15) in Georgetown in the warmer months, and during the fall/winter, we get to experience the Kennedy Center (seasonal: Oct 16 to Mar 31).

Best tour in dc

Published on Nov, 2024

Nick the guide is the best. Always giving a good explanation and making us laugh. Very funny. You can see that he likes what he does.

I really enjoyed this tour.

Published on Nov, 2024

We parked once and were able to tour more sights in 8-1/2 hours than if I had done it on my own, which would have taken two or more days. Nick, our tour guide, was informative, and Calvin, the driver, was entertaining. If this is your first time going to D.C., I suggest this tour.

Washington DC monument trip at dusk

Published on Oct, 2024

Wonderful experience. Ask for tour guide Derrick and driver Alisha. They were awesome The places and information were fantastic

Great tour of the main sights of Washington

Published on Oct, 2024

As we only had one full day this tour was a great way to see the main sights and learn interesting facts about Washington. We were in one of the small glass top mini buses and water was provided throughout the tour. Our tour guide Evan was extremely knowledgeable and informative and managed to keep us engaged throughout despite everyone being soaked in the bucketing rain. Would say that the boat trip was a let down, recorded commentary one way and nothing on the return and no interaction with the crew. This should be dropped from the tour, it does not bring anything to the day. A great tour, a great guide in Evan and a shout out to driver John, highly recommend this tour.
