assist in scheduling these tours for you. Please contact me and let me know what I can do for you.
The capital city represents the governmental and politcal heart of our country. It is also a major cultural, historical and
economic resource for Americans as well as a wealth of sights and activities to be enjoyed by all.

GETTING AROUND
Washington has a subway system, called Metro, which can take you to all of itīs major tourist attractions, the Pentagon and
even National Airport, for a very reasonable fare. Trains arrive in each Metro station every five munutes during rush hours
(6-9:30 a.m., 3-6:30 p.m.) and every ten minutes the rest of the day.
The Metro bus system is another inexpensive and reliable means of transportation. Taxicab fares are also reasonable.
The Tourmobile and Old Town Trolley are ideal ways to get around the downtown sightseeing area. Both tours make
scheduled stops at points of interest on and near the Mall, including Arlington National Cemetery. For your convenience, you
may get off at any stop, then reboard and continue the tour.
