Need last minute DC Tour advice

I'll be in Washington DC tomorrow and wondering about the best tour to take throug the national mall area? My plane will be landing at 11:30 AM at Reagan Airport and will be staying in Arlington. I'm guessing I'll be able to get to a tour by 1:00. Any advice is appreciated.

Do you mean a city tour, or do you want to visit some of the museums along the Mall? What do you want to see?

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time to think about it as it is last minute. I guess the Monument/Memorials, White House, US Capitol. As much as I can see in the time allowed? I think tomorrow is going to be my only chance to see things.

I would take the National Park Service tour, that you can pick-up at Arlington Cemetary. It zips you by all the usual places and you can get out and look around, then hop back on.

I would suggest : National History and Air/Space museum is a kind of must (if you have not been there earlier). You may need 4-6 hrs to cover these.
You can take sub from Arlington to National Mall.
