American Art & DC Unveiled

American Art & DC Unveiled

Ready to take on a city full of history and art? We’ve combined two of our amazing Washington tours (Washington DC Unveiled and Smithsonian American Art Adventure) into one fun-filled afternoon.

First, skip the crowded sidewalks and slide into our all-electric Red Roadsters to be guided around our nation’s capital by a local. Our guides will take you back to the city’s origins and give you some tips for exploring the city on your own. We’ll work our way through the Smithsonian area, discussing the best exhibits in each.

Next, breeze past the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial and around the tidal basin. You’ll have the opportunity to hop out and explore on your own at the FDR, MLK and Lincoln Memorials. Finally, feast your eyes on the White House before heading to your next adventure.

You’ll head into the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery where we’ll teach you about some of America’s most important artists and some of the unsung heroes in our country’s story. We’ll talk about a local janitor’s 14-year masterpiece, which was found by chance in his garage, discuss the American dream, check out the original Singer sewing machine and learn about the power players that have helped to shape US history.
