Washington DC Private Walking Tour and Potomac Cruise 3 hr

See Washington DC through the stories behind its art, landmarks, and history, then take in the capital from the water. This 3-hour experience pairs a private guided walk with a 45-minute Potomac River sightseeing cruise.

Begin at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, then continue past the Hirshhorn Museum, the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, and the International Spy Museum. Along the way, your licensed guide shares context on the city’s collections, culture, and intriguing past, while offering tips for exploring beyond the tour. The walk covers about 2 km, with some uneven surfaces and steps, and the pace can be adapted to your group.

At the dock, your guide will help you prepare for boarding before you set off on the cruise independently. From the river, look for views of landmarks including the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, accompanied by multilingual audio commentary. The guide does not join the cruise.

Choose this Washington DC private walking tour and Potomac cruise for a personal introduction to the city, with time on foot and a fresh perspective from the river.
