Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered

A professional Continental City Tours guide will pick you up at the scheduled time from your hotel, restaurant, or museum within downtown Washington, D.C., the National Mall area, or Arlington, VA. If your pickup location does not appear in the online system or is flagged as outside the service radius, simply message or text us the address and we will gladly confirm it or recommend the nearest convenient pickup point.

The pickup radius is designed to maximize your tour time, allowing you to focus on the most important institutions at the heart of American democracy.

Travel in comfort aboard a luxury Cadillac Escalade Full-Size SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van, accompanied by a professional storyteller who serves as both your driver and private guide. As you move through the city, your guide provides engaging commentary, historical context, and behind-the-scenes insights.

This private experience includes in-depth visits to the United States Capitol Building, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court, along with nearby monuments and memorials when time permits. Please note that entry to the U.S. Capitol requires joining a Capitol staff-led group; however, your private guide remains with you at all times and resumes the tour immediately afterward. All other portions of the experience are fully private and guided exclusively by your expert host.

If you are arriving with your own vehicle, contact us in advance and we will provide free parking recommendations—either within D.C. on weekends or near the Pentagon on weekdays. Your guide can pick you up from the parking location and return you there at the conclusion of the tour.

This is more than a tour—it’s an exclusive, immersive journey through the institutions that shape the United States.

Der Oberste Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten ist das oberste rechtsprechende Staatsorgan der Vereinigten Staaten. Neben diesem obersten Bundesgericht existieren auf Ebene der Bundesstaaten Oberste Gerichtshöfe. Interessant ist: Der Supreme Court besteht aus neun Richtern, die nach Nominierung durch den Präsidenten vom Senat bestätigt, und danach auf Lebenszeit ernannt werden. Für uns in Europa undenkbar als Richter auf Lebenszeit ernannt zu werden.
