The 10 Best Bus Tours in Virginia, United States

February 6, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

The Korean Memorial was my favorite, but Tom did a great job with all of the monuments. Our friends had been on Tom's tour before but he added a different monument for them to see. His knowledge of everything concerning the monuments and the city made the tour special for all of us - two VA residents, one frequent visitor to DC and a newbie who had never visited DC before. We had such a great time we booked an additional tour with DC Military Tours & Tom.

Oleta is a spectacular company. Thoughtful, courteous and joyful in their approach to getting you from where you are to where you need to be (and back). Safety is very important to them and they are experts in navigating their large vehicles around busy streets and highways, but you are also likely to leave your experience with a new friend or two at the company. Our children's school has been using Oleta to facilitate class trips for over 15 years and wouldn't consider using anyone else.

We had booked a daytime small group tour and they had to cancel the day of our arrival. They couldn’t have been more helpful to give us some other options. We chose to have a Private Tour with Steve for a discounted price. We are SO happy we made that decision! He picked us up where we were having lunch in Georgetown and we set off for roughly 5 hours of learning and seeing the sights. We were able to pick what attractions we were most interested in seeing and Steve made it all happen. He was full of knowledge and insider information about DC, the buildings, the history and fun gossip. This was my husband’s first trip to DC and while I had lived in VA for 8 years previously we both came away with an even greater appreciation for our Nation’s Capital. I can’t recommend Steve and this tour enough...we got all the photos we wanted, had plenty of options for restrooms and just had a fabulous day all the way around. Next trip we hope to book the Night Tour with Steve to see everything from another perspective. Can’t wait! ????????????

The tour was terrific and Dustin was an awesome guide! Thank you for a wonderful experience. The tour was very well planned and detailed. Dustin was engaged with us the whole time. I felt like a knowledgeable friend was showing me landmarks I've always wanted to see. The experience was both entertaining and humbling as I was learning so much about my nation's history.
