Group Travel in Alexandria & DC: Extra Planning Notes
When planning your coach bus trip in Alexandria and the surrounding D.C. area, consider these additional points for a smooth experience:
- Parking & Permits: Many D.C. attractions and some Old Town Alexandria areas have specific regulations for bus parking and require permits. Our team can advise on these logistics.
- Security & Access: For government buildings or high-security areas, additional identification or security protocols may be required for passengers and drivers.
