Washington D.C. is the gem of the East Coast. Visiting the capital of the United States of America can be a fantastic experience for both you and your entire family. There are countless museums, monuments and historical sites to visit, and all have both a cultural and educational value. Whether you are visiting by yourself, with your spouse, your family or taking a group of eager schoolchildren, Washington D.C. has the potential to thrill everyone, both young and old.

From bikes to Segways, the modes of transportation of seeing this beautiful city are many and varied. You can expect heavier tourist crowds during the summer season than any other time. The weather is humid and the sun is always out. During the fall and winter, however, the trees turn gold and prepare for the dusting of snow that turns Washington D.C. into a snowy wonderland. During the very beginning of spring, however, you can watch the Cherry trees blossom around the capital grounds, a striking scene that most people do not get to experience!

One of the most frequently used tours during the summer months in Washington are the Trolley Tours, which can last anywhere from one to two days. It will take you from place to place, allowing you to get out and enjoy a monument or historical site. The most prominent of these sites are the Capital Building, the White House, the Library of Congress, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Memorial, which includes the Reflecting Pool. Not only are they architectural feats, but they represent the history of a nation founded in liberty and sustained in justice.

Another popular tour is the Segway Tour, which will give you a day to tour the city on one of these helpful devices. They're smooth, fast, save your feet from aching at the end of the day, and the height at which they place you allow you to see over the heads of the average crowd. You can also take a Segway Night Tour of the Washington D.C. area. It' quite a thrill seeing the White House at night, ablaze with lights!
