Il s'agit du mémorial le plus emblématique du pays, inauguré en 1922, en l'honneur du 16e président, Abraham Lincoln, qui occupe une place presque mythique et vénérée dans le cœur des Américains du monde entier.
Admirez la célèbre piscine réfléchissante du Lincoln Memorial qui s'étend sur le National Mall; vue dans Forrest Gump et des événements historiques tels que le discours I Have A Dream du Dr King.
Un endroit calme conçu pour la réflexion, ce mémorial a plus de 58 000 noms de victimes américaines de ce conflit gravées dans les panneaux de granit noir. Le mur abrite la statue des trois soldats et un mémorial aux infirmières qui ont servi.
Ce mémorial possède un mur de granit noir reflétant 19 statues en acier inoxydable représentant les 38e mois de la guerre de Corée. Ce n’était pas seulement un effort américain, et ce mémorial rend hommage à tous ces pays des Nations Unies.
Descendez du National Mall jusqu'au Tidal Basin pour visiter l'un des nouveaux mémoriaux dédiés à Martin Luther King, Jr.
56 piliers de granit entourent la fontaine dans ce majestueux hommage à la plus grande génération d'Américains arrivés à maturité en période de dépression économique et sortis de ce conflit en héros. Promenez-vous sur les terrains et vous en apprendrez plus sur les différents aspects de la guerre du point de vue des États-Unis qui ont combattu dans les océans Atlantique et Pacifique. Dédié en 2004, ce mémorial est populaire auprès des visiteurs de DC.

DC on Foot did an excellent job of guiding our group thru the monuments and memorials. Becca was very knowledgeable, patient and passionate about the tour. LOVED it!
Greg was great at keeping a good pace. We appreciate his knowledge and willingness to work with all
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Greg. His knowledge and thoughtful approach truly make for a great experience. We appreciate your kind words!
Vicky was our guide and she was so knowledgeable and friendly. She kept track of where we were all from, knew many details about the monuments. She even guided us to a public restroom and water fountains to refill our water bottles. When she stopped to speak about each place she managed to find shade. The tour did not happen at its original time because of the heat, but the tour company kept in contact with me because I wasn’t sure if we would make it because of our flight arrival time. I had booked two other DC tours and the others did not communicate at the same level. The others couldn’t tell me if Washington monument tickets would be for the same day!! I had no such issues with DC by foot. They explained how their tours work but also asked for flexibility because of a potential heat wave. They were right and were a great company to work with. Excellent communication and an excellent guide.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Vicky. Her knowledge, care for guests, and our team's communication truly make the experience special. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon!
If hot bring plenty of water. Our guide was excellent. You do a lot of walking of course. Make sure to check out the basement of the Lincoln Memorial.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with your guide. We appreciate the helpful tips for future guests!
We learned a lot and had a great time! So many great stories and details that we would never have known from guidebooks alone.
Thank you! We're so glad you had a great time and discovered stories you wouldn't find in a guidebook. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again!
This is a walking tour, but well worth it, if you don't mind walking a lot. Becca was a terrific tour guide. She had good communication with us and shared historical details we enjoyed. Would take this tour again. Take a bottle of water with you.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Becca. We appreciate your kind words and are happy the historical insights made the walk worthwhile!
We had Ingeborg deliver our tour. She was excellent. A local lady with lots of knowledge and we couldn’t have asked for more. She made the tour very interesting but also easy to listen to. 👍
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Ingeborg. Her local knowledge and engaging storytelling truly make for a wonderful experience!
Great information - beautiful walk! Our group was fun because our tour guide and both my husband and the father of the other family were all USAF Veterans. Shared perspectives.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the beautiful walk and the shared connections within your group. It's wonderful to hear the tour was both informative and memorable!
Our guide, Becca was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. She presented information at each stop but also knew the answers to all our questions. Our group was small at 5 which was lovely.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the small group setting and that Becca's knowledge and friendly approach made the tour so memorable. We appreciate your feedback!
Yesterday, we took a guided tour of the memorial sites with Vicky. She was very friendly and engaging, knew a wealth of facts about the individual sites, and shared interesting stories. We would happily take our next tour with her again.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the memorial tour with Vicky and appreciated her knowledge and storytelling. We’d love to have you join another tour with her in the future!
