You meet your guide at sunrise as the Potomac breathes cool air across the Tidal Basin and the city wakes. The day moves by vehicle and on foot: a Mercedes Sprinter or luxury SUV carries your group between monumental stops, then the guide leads short walks to photograph the Lincoln Memorial’s broad steps, stand beneath the Capitol’s dome, and listen to the stories carved into each plaza.
