Tours of Washington DC

Washington DC is an attractive city. It has wide boulevards and avenues, numerous parks and open places, graceful colonial houses, marble monuments and inspiring grand architecture. Add to this a flourishing artistic sight and a sophisticated ambiance and it has to be one of America's greatest cities, and a suitable home for its President. There is no other place like Washington; this city, there are quite a lot of museums that you can be able to go and experience and many well-known landmarks. This is what makes Washington DC a rightly American city.
If you would like to take a trip to Washington DC, I would suggest that tour go by bus for the simple cause that you will be able to experience the whole thing in Washington in this way, without having to be troubled about traffic or parking. You will also be entertained during your complete trip in and around Washington D.C. by a knowledgeable tour guide. The tour guide will provide you luscious tidbits about Washington D.C that you would have by no means known if you traveled in your own car.
Is this not the manner you would be fond of to experience Washington D.C.?
It is in fact not an issue if you want to experience all the cultural aspects or just the night life. You will travel with like-minded people, which is truly unbelievable.

The Smithsonian Museums
Of the museums in Washington DC, our favorites are The National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, and the National Zoo.
The National Air and Space Museum has a great number of kid friendly activities throughout the museum. The National Museum of American History is a complete study in the culture and history of America and the American people. We really enjoy walking through all of the exhibits and being reminded of how far the American People have come in the arena of transportation through the years.
The National Museum of Natural History is dedicated to understanding the natural world, and our place in it. The animal exhibits are amazing. The dinosaur exhibit is a family favorite of ours. Be sure to see the Hope Diamond on display there.
The National Zoo is an incredible place to walk and get pleasure from your family vacation time together.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing
This tour is absolutely awesome. The tour was about 45 minutes long, and very informative. The tour is throughout the actual working Bureau. There is actual currency printing going on during the tour. The children loved it, and the gift shop at the end of the tour was a real delight.

Fords Theater
The Fords Theater is a live, working theater in downtown Washington DC as well as a memorial serving as a living tribute to President Lincoln's love of the performing arts. The Theater is in excellent condition, and the tour allows you to spend as much time as you would like in the theater. This tour is definitely a "must see" on any of your family vacations.
Spy Museum
The Spy Museum has many interactive exhibits making this a fun stop on a kid friendly family vacations itinerary. The exhibits included a history of spying, school for spies, an introduction to espionage, the war of spies, and on into the 21st century of spying. There is a great deal of history rolled up in that one museum.
Summertime is a great time to visit Washington, particularly over the 4th of July. This is American Independence Day and the day is filled with parades, street parties and barbeques. The day is wrapped up with an immense fireworks display over Potomac River and an orchestral concert on Capitol Hill.
Washington DC offers many kid friendly vacation options. These are just a few of our favorites. For more info visit our site http://www.allstardctour.com/
