Travel guides are available in many cities, both large and small. If you want to learn more about certain monuments or districts, joining a tour group is one option. Tour prices vary depending on city, length, and the number of people in your party. Popular tours in Washington DC and San Francisco and other parts of California will take you to famous areas, bridges, monuments, and other historical landmarks and give you a background on each of them.
Washington DC has many monuments, parks, museums, and neighborhoods to visit. Even though there is plenty of public transportation, you may not know which areas to visit first. Guided tours of the city are available if you want to avoid relying on public transportation or driving through the city. It is difficult to see the sights when you have to worry about navigating your way through a strange city, so taking a tour will allow you to relax and focus on sightseeing. Tours are available both day and night and cover such monuments as the Washington monument, Capitol Hill, the White House, and many more.
Other cities like San Francisco also have tours that you can take when visiting. Tours of Alcatraz, the famous island prison located in the San Francisco Bay, Chinatown, and other neighborhoods in the area are available. You will be able to take great pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge and see beautiful views of the ocean. Tour buses run during the day and at night.
When booking tours, you should find one or two that interest you. Many tours are theme related, so choose a theme that everyone in your group will want to participate in. On the tour, you will be able to ask questions, learn about the history of the area, monuments, and other facts.
Tour guides have been trained to answer most questions. Along the way, the tour bus will stop and let you out to see monuments up close, take pictures, and get something to eat. Make sure you know where the bus will pick up and how long you have before it leaves.
Depending on the size of your group, you may need to make reservations before your trip. For smaller groups, you can buy tickets the same day or the day before. Tour groups are located throughout larger cities. Most hotels have a listing of tour companies that are close by. You can research tours online in order to get a better idea of some of the tours that available.
If you don't want to take a bus tour, walking tours are also available. These tours will take you through certain historic neighborhoods and usually center around food, historical events, or time periods. Walking tours may require you to walk five miles or more, so ask in advance and be sure to stretch before you begin. Taking a walking tour is a great way to see smaller neighborhoods and learn more about the city you are visiting.
