Washington, DC is one of the most visited educational destinations in the country. More than a million students travel here each year. Most leave having seen the same monuments, the same museums, the same well-worn story.
The Scholars Tour Series offers something different.
Designed specifically for student groups traveling with tour operators, the Scholars Tour Series brings the untold story of Black Arlington to life, a living, primary-source encounter with nearly 300 years of Black community brilliance, resistance, and achievement that no other guide in the region can offer.
Your students will not just hear history.
They will stand inside it.
15 curated stops. Motorcoach narrated tour. Signature finale destination.
