***While the motorcoach will drop us as close as possible to each site, the historic layout of Washington D.C. means there will still be a fair amount of walking. Many of the city’s most treasured landmarks are best experienced on foot, so we encourage guests to come prepared with comfortable shoes and a readiness to explore!
