Accessibility: Many bus tours (16967) are wheelchair accessible, while bike tours may have restrictions. If accessibility is a concern, it’s best to check in advance with the provider.
Onboard amenities: Bus tours typically offer comfortable seating, large windows for sightseeing, and sometimes even phone charging ports. For bike tours helmets, safety lights, and reflective vests are provided.
Valid photo ID: You will need to show a valid ID during check-in.
Comfortable shoes: Expect light to moderate walking at memorials and attractions, so supportive footwear will make your day easier.
Weather-appropriate clothing: Summers in DC can be hot and humid, while evenings can get cool. A light jacket or scarf is handy for night tours, and sunscreen or sunglasses are recommended for daytime bike rides.
Water bottle: Small bottles are allowed and encouraged, especially in warmer months. Many guides also provide opportunities to refill during the tour.
Travel essentials: Bring a small backpack for items like cameras, maps, and snacks, but avoid large bags as some sites have restrictions.

Guides are trained to navigate busy areas, keep groups safe, and manage entry points at popular landmarks. Follow your guide’s instructions for a smooth experience.
Many sites in Washington DC, particularly Arlington National Cemetery and the war memorials, are solemn places of remembrance. Maintain a respectful silence, avoid disruptive behavior, and show dignity while on the grounds.
While photography is welcome at most sites, flash, tripods, and drones are generally not permitted. At Arlington and other sensitive locations, discretion is expected when taking pictures.
Comfortable, casual clothing is fine for most tours, but modest attire is encouraged at Arlington. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for bike tours and long walks, while a light jacket or layers will be useful for evening tours.
