My wife and I booked the Monuments and Memorial tour, hoping for a good sunset on the Mall and to see the monuments lit at night. We were not disappointed. Dusk added a sense of reverence to the war memorials and our excellent guide, Carolyn, was a wealth of knowledge about the history and design of all the sights on the tour. My wife and I had been to most of the sights before, but we learned more about each one on the tour. Highly recommend!

We had the best monuments night walking tour! Our guide, Caroline, provided a background history about the monuments and memorials as well as interesting anecdotes as we walked the tour. We were completely enthralled by the grandeur of the monuments and thoroughly captivated with the information Caroline provided. The tour and our guide were a perfect blend of AWESOME! If you are considering an evening walking monuments tour - you will be so glad you chose this one!

She walked at our pace and pointed out many uncommon things throughout. Was very respectful of the Veterans Wall.
