Washington DC is ideal to explore after sunset when crowds disperse and buildings light up. On this tour, you will explore the most important national memorials of America's capital, as you understand their place in the country's history. Not only will you uncover the monuments dedicated to historical figures such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, but you will also have the chance to commemorate Vietnam and Korean veterans, as well as those lost during World War II. Throughout your walking tour, your guide will tell you stories about the circumstances around how the National Mall was built over the centuries - from Dolly Madison and Eliza Hamilton's efforts to build the Washington Monument to then-21-year-old Maya Lin's design of the Vietnam Memorial. End your tour in front of The White House where you are free to continue exploring the lighted city at your own pace.
Remember to bring:
Walk by the World War II Memorial honoring the soldiers and civilians who served during the war. Experience the moving monuments of the Korean Veterans Memorial and Vietnam Memorials. Be in awe of the immensity of The Lincoln Memorial, and stand on its steps, gazing out over the city and the reflecting pool. See from the outside, the iconic White House, residence and workplace of the United States President
Your guide will meet you at the entrance to "The Mellon Gala" at 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20229, United States.
