Washington D.C.'s Only Comprehensive Guided Tour

The Best Washington DC Bus Tour!

The DC It All! Tour consistently receives the highest ratings on sites like Viator.com, About.com, TripAdvisor.com, and others. Check out what our customers had to say in the short video right here. The DC It All! tour is the only one in Washington DC where your guide hops off an air-conditioned bus with you to see all of DC's top attractions. It's also the only tour where your guide takes you on a yacht cruise up the Potomac River (March - October Only). It's great for kids and adults of all ages.

Book a DC It All! Tour

Our Tour Format is Preferred 2 to 1

A survey of 1000 tourists to Washington DC and New York City confirms that visitors prefer the OnBoard tour format to the hop-on-hop-off tours more than two to one. Visitors prefer our smaller vehicles and smaller groups, which makes the tour more personal. Most importantly, our tour guides hop off the bus with you at each tour stop (the other guys usually use recordings instead of guides). Visitors raved about the free bottled water on ice during the tour. Hot or Cold? Our shuttles are air conditioned, so you aren't sitting on top of a bus baking in the sun or getting drenched when it rains. For more, see what our customers say about us.

Top 10 Reasons Visitors Love OnBoard Tours

I have to say we had a great time on the shuttle, especially the "little walks" off the bus we went on. We would have spent a couple of days on those red buses trying to see all the same sights

Why Leave The Guide Behind?

Ours hop off with you. Your tour guide and tour shuttle will stay with you the entire time - even when you get off to look at and hear about all the attractions in Washington DC. This one fact sets us apart from the other tour companies. Trust us, you don't want to be waiting in line for the next hop-on, hop-off bus to come, and hoping that the next one will have enough seats. If you book the DC It All! or DC The Lights! Tour, you will have a guaranteed seat for the entire tour.
