Wonderful and perfect! - Wonderful! And the best part is that they include tickets to take you and anyone else in the group up the Washington monument which gets sold out super fast. It’s a first come first serve situation. So it’s wonderful knowing you’re guaranteed tickets up there with your purchase. Our guide Maribeth was so informative and went above and beyond! Can’t wait to do this in the future with my other kids.

History along the National Mall - We had an enjoyable tour with Richard! We met promptly at Lafayette Square, saw the White House and other landmark buildings, while making our way around the National Mall. Richard included many nuggets along the way, including the dam system to keep the White House from being flooded, organizations that throw fun parties, historical stories, and more. I appreciated Richard pointing out the place where MLK Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech and the connection to Marian Anderson. The soldiers at the Korean War memorial were stunning, as well as the stories from veterans Richard had worked with. We likely covered at least 3 miles, so be prepared to walk. There are restrooms along the way. The memorials are also dog friendly, even the Lincoln Memorial, so if you have a well-behaved canine, bring along! Great tour to see many key monuments and can be adapted if group is small enough/enough time. Highly recommend!

Mall walking - Maribeth was very knowledgeable, personable and fun. A great walking experience. We started at Lafeyette Park and finished at the Korean War Memorial. There was plenty of time to take photos and explore. We were able to ask numerous questions along the way.
