WHat would be the best way to go from Boston to Washington DC?
Any train to go there? How long does it take and how much?
Is it possible to go in a one day tour from Boston?
Thanks.

You might find a cheap flight from Boston to the Washington DC area. Check kayak.com, maybe JetBlue or someone will have a special. Don't rule out flying to BWI (Baltimore-Washington Airport) - there is public transportation to downtown DC (bus connects to subway). If you take an early flight you could certainly see the monuments and do walk-bys of the Capitol and White House before heading back to Boston, but spending any meaningful time at the Smithsonian Museums or doing tours would be difficult.4

Is it possible to start the day in Boston, get to Washington, have enough time to visit enough things to make the cost of the visit worthwhile, then be back in Boston that same day? In other words,
No.

Yes, I'm not sure we understand your question. Do you want to know if you can leave Boston in the morning, get to Washington, do a tour of the city, then get back to Boston, all in one day!? The answer is yes, but it willbe a long day and you will be tired! You should catch a flight at like 7am!Boston and Washington DC are both big cities, so you can fly (there are often shuttles probably every hour? And the flight is a little over and hour I think). Both cities are a short drive to the airport from the center of downtown, too, so you won't waste a lot of time doing that. I think you should be able to get a roundtrip flight for under $200. Maybe less?
You can also take the train, but you won't be able to do all this in 1 day obviously, because it takes about 7 hours on the train.
Visit Amtrak's website - it is very good and easy to use.

If you decide to do it, it only pays to fly into Reagan/Nation (DCA). If you fly into Dulles or Baltimore, you'll spend all your time getting to and from the airport. Won't be cheap.
