Why take this tour?
The evening version of our popular National Mall tour will visit the memorials as they are lit for a beautiful backdrop to the stories of their history. We'll visit the WWII Memorial, DC War Memorial, MLK Memorial, see Jefferson Memorial lit up across the Tidal Basin, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, and end at the Lincoln Memorial.
Each stop will include time to visit the memorial for photos and reflection. Testaments to the history and founders of the USA, these sites are more than just stone and mortar.

The memorials tell about the lives of men and women from America's past and present and our guides will share with you stories - from founding father George Washington to Rosie the Riveter during WWII.
