The open-top deck of a double-decker bus is the best way to see Washington. Sit back and relax as you are transported passed the iconic landmarks that make America’s Capital so recognisable and special. Along the way, you learn about the City's history by listening to the entertaining and informative commentary on board. Your hop-on, hop-off ticket also provides you the freedom to get off the bus to explore and visit attractions. Buses run regularly so rejoining the tour is very easy. With your 48hr ticket you will have access to all the sights the city has to offer. You will have the flexibility to plan you own schedule and to visit the places you find most interesting. Be sure to bring your camera for the many excellent photo opportunities. Highlights: Red Loop: The official tour of the National Mall visiting the City’s iconic landmarks. Blue Loop: Cross the Potomac to visit Arlington Cemetery and the Pentagon. Passes by the Pentagon 911 Memorial. Yellow Loop: Visit historic Georgetown and a variety of museums. Green Loop: Take the traditional Trolley to the National Cathedral. (Big Bus is proud to be an authorised concessioner of the National Park Service and Department of Interior, providing the official sightseeing tour of the National Mall.) During the Rock n Roll Marathon, event held in the Nation’s Capitol every year, there will be several road closures as well as street detours being conducted in Downtown Washington D.C. Unfortunately the Company has no control over these road closures and we will be doing our best to ensure that you still have an opportunity to explore the city of Washington DC. We hope that any road closures do not inconvenience you too much.
