It was great and very informative. Our guide, Dwayne, made all the difference. The tour was very well designed to maximize on monuments explored in the timeframe allotted. I highly recommend it! If you're going to drive, park by the Tidal Basin.

The words of Thomas Jefferson, some written more than 200 years ago, have shaped American ideals. Today, many of these impressive, stirring words adorn the interior walls of his memorial. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial stands as a symbol of liberty and endures as a site for reflection and inspiration for all citizens of the United States and the world.
You’ll visit each of the city’s famous memorials: the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Abraham Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial, and the World War II Memorial.
You’ll start with the big picture, just south of the Washington Monument, where the view stretches unencumbered from Thomas Jefferson’s memorial to the White House. Then we’ll head toward the evening sun. Along the way, the guides set the scene for the Federal City’s original plans to memorialize its national heroes and how they’ve evolved with time. As you approach each memorial, you’ll hear its particular story and then have time to look around yourself. By dark you’ll be strolling along the tree-lined Reflecting Pool, watching the lights come up in America’s capital city.
