Our nation’s capitol, with it’s imposing buildings, monuments and landmarks, set along the beautiful Potomac River, is a proud sight. A visit to Washington offers the student a first-hand glimpse into the structure and workings of our government, both past and present. We at Student Tours feel that we have been able to include the best of Washington, D.C. at a very reasonable price. Past and present will come alive in our nation’s capital as students discover its unique significance in the life of everyday America. It is a place for all of us to see and know.

All our hotels are conveniently located, some in the city, some on the edge of the city limits and others near the Metro, all an easy bus or metro ride to the places you will want to visit.
