Morning\/Afternoon<\/h4>\n

Begin your first day in Washington, DC in the downtown area. We recommend grabbing a bite to eat at The Smith<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> in the Penn Quarter…the avocado toast & vanilla bean french toast will make your mouth water! After a hearty breakfast, begin your walking tour of DC landmarks. You will start on Capitol Hill and finish the day at the White House. If you don’t want to walk, there are tons of bike rentals located all around the city and the mall is super “bikeable.” The tour should last a few hours so make sure to fuel up in the AM! Check out the walking tour map below for an easy guide to follow.<\/p>\n
