National Cathedral Tours

The Washington National Cathedral is a remarkable work of architecture, engineering, craftsmanship, and symbolism that reflects more than a century of American history.

Our private tours explore the Cathedral’s Gothic Revival architecture, stained glass, sculpture, and construction while examining the people, ideas, and traditions that shaped one of America’s most recognizable landmarks. Along the way, we discuss how medieval building techniques were adapted for the twentieth century, the symbolism woven throughout the building, and the Cathedral’s evolving role in the nation’s civic and spiritual life.

Whether your interests include architecture, history, religion, engineering, or art, each experience is thoughtfully tailored to your group and paced to encourage observation, discussion, and discovery.

Please Note:

The Cathedral is not open for guided tours on Sundays. Tour schedules are established by the Cathedral and may occasionally change or be canceled on short notice. Should this occur, we will gladly work with you to arrange an alternative time whenever possible.
