How do you locate us?
We highly recommend using public transportation like the Metro to get to our tours as we depart from directly outside the Archives metro station in the Navy Memorial Plaza. This is not far from both city center stations - Metro Center & Gallery Place. For all those driving, we recommend using the garage below the plaza with an entrance on 8th St NW but we advise all to use discretion as this and many other garages are privately owned with fluctuating prices and specific hours. Our night tour for example returns AFTER the 8th St garage closes so be aware. Use this resource provided by the city's tourism bureau for additional assistance.
Wheelchair accommodation:
Currently, our vehicles are not equipped with lifts, ramps, or other ADA-compliant features. If you are bringing a foldable wheelchair, mobility scooter, or walker, your driver will prepare an area inside the bus where your mobility devices will be stored. You will be required to board and disembark the bus on your own or with the assistance of a traveling companion.
