About this experience
Join us as we explore the Nation’s Capital and its spectacular Christmas trees and festive displays on this fully-guided, three-hour journey!
Meet your professional tour guide and board a luxury climate-controlled bus at the US Navy Memorial before heading to Downtown DC to enjoy the dazzling Christmas tree and lights display.
Next we pass the prestigious National Christmas Tree and its surrounding “Pathway of Peace” (an arrangement of 56 smaller trees) standing before the White House.
We drive through Old Town Alexandria and the iconic Market Square to enjoy the city’s beloved Christmas centerpiece then onto National Harbor and a shimmering 54-foot tall Christmas Tree. We will make a stop at the Gaylord National Resort for you to take pictures of their glittering holiday lights exhibition.
We’ll return to the Capitol Christmas Tree situated on the West Lawn of the US Capitol. We will stop by the Canadian Embassy for a final photo op of their traditional Christmas display.
