Whether you are here for business or pleasure, this tour will give you a complete picture of Washington, DC. Washington, DC is our nation's capital and more - a living memorial to American excellence - to the country's long, successful history of self-government, rule of law, and commitment to equality and civil rights. These ideals and values, which have seen this country through the worst of times, are set in stone, marble, and bronze in the city's grand and symbolic architecture and centuries-old statues - as well as historic boulevards, and solemn, glorious monuments and memorials. The city's amazing displays, especially on the National Mall, are each an artifact of history, philosophy, and symbolism. Your guides on Excellent Tours describe and explain what you see and hear clearly and eloquently. They are talented, energetic, and captivating storytellers, with a sense of humor and appropriate respect for the city's and nation's history, and a reverence at war memorials.
