This is a small group experience, with each electric cart limited to a max of 7 people. Whilst we do our best to seat groups together, we aren’t able to guarantee this and at times, groups may be asked to sit on separate carts.
This tour runs year-round and goes ahead rain or shine—even in cold weather—unless conditions are dangerous. Cancellation decisions may be made at the meeting point, and we may delay up to 30 minutes for weather to improve.
Please arrive as scheduled, dress appropriately for the weather, and check your messages for any updates. Since our electric carts are not heated and are open to the environment, we recommend wearing layers of clothing during colder months.
Carts accommodate most types of infant seats and we encourage parents to bring their own. We can provide an infant seat, as long as a guest calls us at least 48 hours before the tour and informs us of the age and weight of the infant.
We can accommodate folding wheelchairs for guests who can transfer into the cart on their own or with assistance. Please note that there is no ramp access, and we are unable to accept motorized or non-folding wheelchairs due to vehicle limitations. Wheelchairs are not provided. If bringing your own, please let us know at the time of booking. All requests are subject to availability.
The itinerary and its order of stops are subject to change at any time. Monuments visited may change due to local road or monument closure which are beyond our control.
Your tour covers the National Mall in an all-electric vehicle. We're committed to reducing the environmental impact of vehicle-based tourism in Washington DC, which makes up the vast majority of tours given in this city. Make a "green" difference by seeing the Mall via electric transportation!

5.00This was a great way to get around the city. Ellen, our guide, was terrific! She gave us a lot of background stories and history about what we were seeing. She also let us get off at different points for picture taking and also to explore certain areas on our own. Towards the end of our tour, she gave us some quick tips on whereabouts to eat and also navigating the Metro stops.
Enthralling guide!

4.00This is an easier way to travel to see the major monuments! The electric cart is fun to ride in! Our guide is a native Washingtonian; very knowledgeable and gladly answers questions. The only downer was that it was raining & cold; we were prepared with outerwear & umbrella, so keep this in mind if you choose this venue. Despite the rain, a great way to see a lot in a short period of time.,
Fantastic

3.00I chose this for an opportunity to take elderly parents visiting from the west through the city in a quick fashion and that’s exactly what we did. Great because they can’t walk much and our tour guide was super informative. However I will say this because it was a giant struggle on arrival, make certain to plain out your drip of parents/children (the not great walkers) and chart out your parking as best ahead of time as possible!!!! Parking in DC and in the pickup area in particular only provides two hour st parking, which is not enough time. The garages are unclear and not very accessible. Navigating DC can be extremely challenging, frustrating for sure that there isn’t more public parking in general for the nations people!! I barely made it back for pickup after an hour of circulating streets! I think another party that was scheduled for the same time didn’t even make it. Driving a point because truly unless you are super familiar or very proficient at navigating busy congested streets while looking for proper parking while on a schedule then maybe the hop on hop off bus is a better choice because they do have a parking lot at the origination point. The salvation was our guide, I think her name was Dee, she was lovely, patience, kind and knowledgable and very accommodating.
