Your Ride Awaits
Your luxury experience starts when you’re met inside the airport with a smile by your friendly driver – who’ll be holding a sign with your name on it.
Day 1 - Blossoms By Bike
Your day starts by exploring the blooms up close via bicycle on our Washington DC Cherry Blossom Private Bike Tour. Your expert local guide will lead you into the vibrant world of the Washington DC cherry blossoms based on your choice of several thrilling routes. Choose from well-known areas like the National Mall or opt for off-the-beaten-path gems. Whichever you pick, your guide will make the sights come alive with captivating stories, while keeping you on safe routes.
Day 1 - Blossoms By Boat
After a stop for lunch, you’ll embark on our exhilarating Washington DC Cherry Blossom Private Sport Boat Adventure on the Potomac. Once onboard, you’ll cruise the Potomac River and Washington Channel with your licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain/tour guide for a unique view of the cherry blossoms – and those iconic monuments – while your captain entertains you with fascinating stories and historical anecdotes.
Day 2 - Blossoms Off The Beaten Path
On day two a luxury vehicle and an expert guide arrive at your hotel for a unique adventure to discover lesser-known cherry blossom spots courtesy of our DC Cherry Blossom Off the Beaten Path Sightseeing Tour. You’ll explore sites like the United States National Arboretum, The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and more – as well as DC neighborhoods adorned with charming cherry blossom decorations.
Day 3 - Petals Via Pedicab
Today you’ll take in the charm of springtime in the capital thanks to our DC Cherry Blossom Private Pedicab Tour. Your knowledgeable driver/guide will pick you up and “pedal” you to the center of the “petal” action – the Tidal Basin and National Mall – where he’ll share insights and little-known facts on the festival as well as the iconic monuments and memorials that they surround.
Day 3 - The Amazing Artechouse
Your pedicab tour will end at ARTECHOUSE where you’ll become a part of their must-see-to-believe interactive cherry blossom-inspired exhibit. Here art, science and technology merge in the most unique and spectacular way. You’ll explore immersive exhibitions using advanced art platforms and the XR app as you emerge on a breathtaking journey into the future of art.
