The DC Cherry Blossom Bus Tour with Tidal Basin Guided Walk

1.The DC Cherry Blossom Bus Tour with Tidal Basin Guided Walk

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 151 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Spend about four hours touring Washington DC by air-conditioned bus, with guided stops at the Lincoln Memorial, Tidal Basin, White House, and major war memorials. Guides such as Derek, Joey, Sam, and Nicholas have led lively tours, while the route includes time for blossom photos and a walk beside the water. Expect more walking than the short listing may suggest.

“Excellent guide Paul Sullivan with enormous amount of knowledge and great voice to project it. But tour was moving way to fast to get any kind of meaningful learning. Not enough time at all to admire cherry blossoms which we came here to see”

This 3 to 4 hour Washington DC tour combines an air-conditioned coach ride with short walks at major monuments. A guide such as Tyrone, James, Chris, or Sally may lead the group through the Capitol, White House, Lincoln Memorial, war memorials, and Tidal Basin. Optional tickets are available for the Air and Space Museum, African American History and Culture Museum, and Washington Monument.

“This was the best experience, and we loved our tour guide! She was so full of knowledge, and gave us some really neat things to think about with history and how our nation was formed. With three children and hot weather, the air conditioning bus ride was perfect and just the right amount of time at each stop. I would highly recommend this to anyone with kids as well, wanting to see many places in a short amount of time!”

3.Washington DC Cherry Blossoms By Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 88 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $65

Ride at an easy pace through East Potomac Park and around the Tidal Basin with a professional English-speaking guide. You’ll stop at the Japanese Stone Lantern, FDR Memorial, MLK Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and cherry blossom viewpoints. Guides such as Greg, Bianca, Aiden, and Wally have been praised for clear history and calm handling of busy paths.

“A very fun way to see the city and spring blossoms! I don’t think anyone needs an electric bike, the terrain is flat and easy to bike. Cherry blossoms all but gone now but still fun to see the few left and all of the tulips! Would love the tour to include the White House and capitol building but in the time we had we saw all the best monuments. Located by the wharf, there are many great restaurants to grab lunch or dinner. About 5.5 miles of biking. Greg S was a great guide!”
