Description

See “America’s Christmas Trees” in one memorable evening with USA Guided Tours! Join us as we explore the Nation’s Capital and its spectacular Christmas trees and other festive displays on this fully-guided, three-hour journey. You will meet your pro tour guide and board a luxury climate-controlled bus at the US Navy Memorial just before heading to Downtown DC. There you will observe the dazzling Christmas tree and lights display. We’ll then proceed to the prestigious National Christmas Tree and its surrounding “Pathway of Peace”—an arrangement of 56 smaller trees—standing before the White House. Meanwhile, your tour guide will share the captivating history behind this annual tradition. As we continue across the Potomac River to Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, you’ll catch glimpses of the Washington Monument, other National Mall landmarks, the Pentagon, and much more as pointed out by your guide. In Old Town Alexandria, we’ll stop by Market Square to observe the city’s beloved Christmas centerpiece. Next, we’ll cross the Potomac again to the National Harbor where you will be met by a shimmering 54-foot tall Christmas Tree. Our visit to the National Harbor extends with a stop at the Gaylord National Resort where you will witness their glittering holiday lights exhibition. We strongly encourage you to return to the Gaylord to enjoy the amazing activities offered, like ice skating! We’ll then return to the District of Columbia for a look at the stunning Capitol Christmas Tree situated on the West Lawn of the United States Capitol. Going back to the US Navy Memorial, we’ll stop by the Canadian Embassy for a final photo op of their traditional Christmas tree.
