1. Departure from New York

The tour begins at the meeting point, where we will gather all our excursionists. At 6:00 AM, we will depart to start our fabulous excursion to Washington from New York. Once we begin the journey, we will cross the Hudson River and travel 380 kilometers south, passing through the state of New Jersey—the birthplace of Frank Sinatra and other famous singers like Bon Jovi and the "Father of Salsa," Frankie Ruiz.

2. First Stop in Delaware

Halfway through the trip, around 8:30 AM, we will arrive in the state of Delaware, where we will make our first 30-minute stop for breakfast (food and beverages are not included in the excursion). Here, our travelers can purchase food and drinks for the journey if they wish.

Delaware is known as The First State since, after the War of Independence, it was the first state to recognize the U.S. Constitution in 1787.

3. Journey Through Maryland and Arrival in Washington, D.C.

We will continue our journey through part of the state of Maryland and its most important city, Baltimore, until we reach Washington, D.C., at approximately 10:30 AM.

Once we officially begin the tour to Washington from New York City, we will pass by the Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense, where approximately 23,000 military and civilian employees work. Next, we will pass by the Thomas Jefferson Memorial before reaching Arlington National Cemetery, where we will step off the bus to learn about its history and visit the graves of the Kennedy brothers.

5. Visit to the Iwo Jima Memorial

Next, we will head to the Iwo Jima Memorial, a magnificent sculpture inspired by Joe Rosenthal’s famous photograph Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.

The statue represents the Marines and the sailor who raised the second flag atop Mount Suribachi.

Along the way, we will also pass buildings such as the FBI headquarters, the Department of Justice, the Treasury Department, and the National Archives.

11. Free Time

We will have 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time at the end of our Washington excursion. You can have lunch, buy souvenirs, visit one of the Smithsonian Museums—such as the Air and Space Museum or the National Museum of the American Indian—or, if you prefer, take a walk through the National Mall.
