Zohery Tours International · Capitol Hill

A two-hour mini heritage tour of DC

An afternoon loop by mini bus or van from the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill, past the White House, the Capitol, the museum and the Lincoln Memorial. It is the cheapest guided tour here, a good fit if you have two hours and already hold a museum pass for another day.

2-Hour Mini African American Heritage Tour

About this experience

Zohery Tours International runs this short loop from the Hyatt Regency at 400 New Jersey Ave NW, starting at 2:00 p.m. The listing names the White House, Black Lives Matter Plaza, the Capitol, the museum, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (DC's central library) and the Lincoln Memorial, then brings you back to the hotel. Vehicles are mini buses or mini vans.

It is a new listing with no reviews yet, so you are the test group. At $49 per person, with a child rate for ages 3 to 11, the risk is small. The museum is a drive-by: you won't go in, and the tour has no pass for it. One more thing: the listing still names Black Lives Matter Plaza, but the city began removing the street mural on 16th Street in March 2025, so expect the place, not the painted letters.

Odd detail: the listing ticks "alcoholic beverages" as included next to private transportation. Don't plan around it on a two-hour afternoon drive; ask if it matters to you.

Tips before you book

  • The museum's last entry is 4:00 p.m., the time this tour ends: you cannot go in after it. Visit in the morning instead.
  • Same-day museum passes go online at 8:15 a.m. ET on the museum's pass page. Grab one for the morning before the tour.
  • Leave a review afterwards. With zero reviews, yours will be the one other travelers read.
  • Get to the Hyatt ten minutes early: it's a big hotel, and you'll want to find the vehicle.
