What To Expect

Washington Monument

555 Feet tall, this is the largest free standing masonry structure in the world! A monument to the first President and Father of the Country, George Washington. Since 1888 this monument has towered over DC and the surrounding country side.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

A quiet place designed for reflection, this memorial has over 58 thousand names of US casualties from this conflict etched into the black granite panels. Accommodating the wall is the Three Soliders Statue and a memorial to the female nurses who served.

Korean War Veterans Memorial

Dedicated in 1995, this memorial has a black granite wall facing 19 stainless steel statues. Walking through this memorial can be a powerful experience with its focus on the visual arts.

Lincoln Memorial

The most iconic memorial in the country. President Abraham Lincoln occupies an almost mythic and revered place in the hearts of Americans everywhere. When it was dedicated in 1922, Lincoln's son Robert Todd Lincoln was a guest of honor. At that point he represented a dwindling group of veterans who still remembered their their onetime leader and statesmen.

Katherine is our amazing tour guide for the National Mall private tour! With her encyclopaedic knowledge about every monument and memorial, coupled with her wit and insight about how Washington DC was then and how it is now, we had a blast learning so much about US history. Highly recommended!

This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Eli, was very knowledgeable and clearly loves doing these tours. There's a lot of walking, but we learned a lot about the major memorials, and many I was not at all familiar with. Also, Eli did an awesome job of finding shady stopping points as it was in the 90s, so that was much appreciated. Will definitely do a different tour with this company the next time we're in the area.

I would recommend the store to buy anybody visiting Washington DC. He gave us a little known facts as well as general pieces of information.
