Description:

Visit the famed estate of Mount Vernon, George Washington’s longtime residence, and drive through quaint Old Town Alexandria. Then take the Arlington National Cemetery narrated tram tour on this comprehensive full-day tour.

The sense of history is prevalent on the grounds of Mount Vernon. Step back into the 18th century as you explore the main mansion, maids’ quarters, stables, and greenhouse. Learn more about the Washington family as you roam through manor-turned-museum's 23 galleries and observe 700 artifacts on display. From there, pass through Alexandria for a view of historic Christ Church—this colonial house of worship has welcome famous guests like Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill since it was first erected in 1767.

End your day with an unforgettable visit to Arlington National Cemetery, the United States' most hallowed ground. More than 300,000 soldiers and their families, as well as 2 U.S. Presidents, are buried at Arlington. Narration aboard the tram recounts stories of heroism and sacrifice while making stops at the Kennedy grave sites and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where you may see the Changing of the Guard occurring every half-hour.
