About this tour

Leave New York behind for a spring day among Washington’s cherry blossoms. This Washington D.C.

Travel in a comfortable, professionally maintained vehicle, with an expert tour guide or driver-guide accompanying the journey. Select pickup and drop-off locations are available in New York. At the memorial, take in the setting along the Tidal Basin, then choose the optional in-depth blossom tour through East Potomac Park for more time among the trees. The route also offers views of the Potomac River, Anacostia River, and Washington Channel.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.37 from 19 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Washington DC
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.3.
