Our adventure begins at 6:00 AM from Manhattan. On the way, we'll pass through the states of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, making a brief stop for breakfast before arriving in Washington D.C.
Your first visit will be the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial). We'll then tour the National Mall, where we'll see some of the country's most iconic landmarks, such as the Vietnam Memorial, the Three Soldiers Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Reflecting Pool, and the Washington Monument.
We'll also pass by the Federal Reserve, the World War II Memorial, the Organization of American States and the International Red Cross.
We'll continue to the White House, where you'll have time to take photos while learning about its history and interesting facts. Later, we'll visit the historic Ford Theater, see the FBI headquarters, and admire the exterior of the United States Capitol. Afterwards, you'll enjoy approximately 45 minutes of free time for lunch.
The experience continues to Annapolis, capital of the state of Maryland and one of the best-preserved colonial cities in the country. We'll admire the historic Maryland State House, the oldest continuously operating state capitol in the United States, where George Washington resigned from command of the Continental Army.
We'll continue to City Dock, the picturesque historic harbor of Annapolis, surrounded by colonial architecture, sailboats, restaurants and local shops. From there, you can see the entrance to the prestigious United States Naval Academy and enjoy approximately 45 minutes of free time to explore the harbor and take pictures.
Finally, we'll begin the return trip to New York, with an estimated drop-off at Times Square. If conditions permit, we'll make a panoramic stop at Weehawken, one of the best vantage points of the Manhattan skyline.
Enjoy a different experience that combines the political history of Washington, D.C. with the colonial charm and maritime tradition of Annapolis on a unique tour from New York.
