Private Guided White House & Presidential Monuments Tour

Step behind the velvet rope on a private guided tour of Washington D.C.'s most iconic presidential landmarks. Walk the halls of power, stand before the Lincoln Memorial at golden hour, and absorb two centuries of American history with an expert historian by your side.

What to expect

Your private guide meets you at the port transfer point and whisks you directly to the National Mall. You'll stand at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, reflect at the Vietnam Veterans Wall, and admire the White House from the North Lawn — all woven together with vivid presidential storytelling. The pace is entirely yours: linger where you wish, ask anything, detour on a whim. The experience concludes with a curated recommendation for a power lunch at a storied D.C. institution.

Good to know

Pre-book at least 3–4 weeks ahead as top private guides fill fast. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time and allow 90 minutes of buffer for the return. Comfortable walking shoes essential — expect 3–5 miles on foot.
