Washington, D.C., New York

While our nation’s capital and the Big Apple are both fast-paced metropolises, EF’s Washington, D.C. & New York City in Depth tour is all about slowing down to form deeper, more meaningful connections. You’ll dive into our nation’s history at the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration, hear powerful stories on a survivor-led tour of the 9/11 Memorial Plaza, and visit a special exhibit at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
