Cleanest / Safest DC We’ve Ever Seen

e’ve been bringing groups to Washington, D.C. for well over a decade, guiding travelers through the magnificent federal buildings, monuments, and museums that define our nation’s capital. Over the years, we learned which sights to admire—and which to avoid. The once-beautiful Columbus Fountain outside Union Station sat neglected and dry, while some public spaces and Metro stations showed the effects of years of decline.

All of that has changed.

Today, the Columbus Fountain has been restored to its former beauty and is flowing once again. Statues have been cleaned, landscaping renewed, Metro stations are better patrolled, and there is a renewed sense of pride and optimism in the capital city.

There is still plenty of history to sort through—and plenty of modern narratives to examine critically—but that is exactly why we travel together. Join Dr. Bill Potter September 7–11 for our new Washington, D.C. Essentials Tour as we explore the landmarks, institutions, and ideas that have shaped America.

Best of all, we’ve reduced the price to just $450 per person. Space is limited, so reserve your seat today while openings remain!
