Jay Weber's Great Escapes – Washington, DC

Our nation’s capital! Even if you’ve been before, there is so much to see and experience in Washington, DC, a city that has changed drastically in the last few years. On my 2019 Great Escape, we’ll be staying right in the heart of it all, just moments from all of the famous monuments and museums! We’ll see the iconic sites, learn plenty of history, take a cruise on the Potomac and enjoy some good food, all with a great bunch of Wisconsinites.

Testimonials

I went on Jay Weber's Great Escape to NYC. This was my first experience with Cruise & Tour. It was wonderful from start to finish. The trip was very well planned and organized. Our tour guides were very experienced, knowledgeable, and fun. All of the staff from Cruise & Tour were great. Fabulous trip.
