It is the most iconic memorial in the country, dedicated in 1922, honoring the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln who occupies an almost mythic and revered place in the hearts of Americans everywhere.
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.
56 granite pillars surround the fountain in this majestic tribute to the greatest generation of Americans who came of age in a time of economic depression, and emerged from this conflict as heroes. Stroll around the grounds and you will learn about different aspects of the war from the perspective of the US which fought in both The Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Dedicated in 2004, this memorial is popular with visitors to DC.
See the south lawn of the White House, where the President's helicopter, Marine One, lands.
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.

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. 👍
