Have You Taken The Cherry Blossom Bus Tour Yet?

It's time you take a trip down the memory lane with some of America's most historical places on a tour that connects you Washington DC in a way you'd never imagine. The cherry blossom bus tour takes you on a 2 day journey to help re-live some of the most remarkable moments in the history of USA. This trip is neatly packaged to help you cover the most important places Washington has to offer, so if you've been whining about your kids not knowing enough American history, this is a great eye opener for them.  

The Cherry Blossom Festival

If you book this trip at a good time, you might get lucky and get to visit the national cherry blossom festival which marks the celebration of the 3,000 cherry trees that was gifted to the city of Washington by the Mayor of Tokyo. These trees arrived in Washington in 1912, and since then every spring, the city celebrates the national cherry blossom festival.

This festival includes elaborate celebrations packed with numerous balloons, parades and musical marching bands from various parts of the world participating. This festival is a onetime event which portrays the friendship of Tokyo and USA many years ago.

The Cherry Blossom Bus Tour leaves from New York and takes you straight to the independence hall. This hall is where George Washington was appointed as the commander in chief. After this, you'll be taken to visit Liberty bell which is a revolutionary place for USA. This bell marks the independence for USA. The independence hall is the place where the first declaration of independence was adopted and hence is marked as a world heritage site. The trip later takes you to the Jefferson Memorial building, which is a tribute to the father of the nation. This building was built and complete in 1943 and later got a bronze statue of Jefferson added in 1947. This building has some of the most exquisite architecture you'll ever witness. Day one of this trip also includes a visit to the Lincoln Memorial which is shaped like a Greek temple. The last stop on day one is the White house which is the official home to the US president. The first president to live here was John Adams back in 1800.

Day two of the cherry blossom bus tour begins with a guided tour on foot inside the Capitol building. The Capitol building was designed by Jenkins Hill as a legislative building; however the outcome of this creation was so grand that it was used as the president’s home. This building was partially damaged during the war in 1812, but the place was reconstructed and its beauty still remains. This tour also takes you to the president wax museum and the national air and space museum before you finally head home.

So, if you’ve always wanted to get a sense of historical richness and energy, then take the cherry blossom tour today.
