Book a bus to the National Mall because it’s the easiest way to move a large group through America’s most iconic landscape without splitting up, missing key sites, or getting bogged down by Metro transfers and rideshare surge pricing. You set the schedule, hit every monument and museum on your list, and travel together like a VIP school trip, corporate outing, or sightseeing group should. There’s no better way to do the Mall than with private, curb-to-curb service from Washington Charter Bus.

The Smithsonian Institution is one of the most popular destinations in Washington, DC—and for good reason. With 19 museums, galleries, and the National Zoo, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Located just outside of Washington, DC, George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate is a popular day-trip destination for groups of all ages. Visitors can tour the mansion, stroll through the gardens, and explore the working farm where Washington experimented with new agricultural techniques. Additional attractions include the museum and education center, which feature exhibits on Washington’s life and legacy, and the distillery and gristmill located a few miles down the road.

Your driver will handle the transportation while you enjoy everything the estate has to offer.

Part of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Zoo is home to more than 2,700 animals representing 390 species.

The Pentagon, headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, offers guided tours that provide insight into the history and operations of the nation’s military.
