Description:

See the capital’s most important monuments on this fascinating tour of the National Mall. Get insight into the history of the White House, Washington Monument, and Lincoln Memorial, and absorb the panoramic views toward Capitol Hill as you gaze over one of the world's largest reflecting pools.

Standing in front of the immaculately manicured gardens and splendid façade of the White House, your specialist guide tells you the incredible stories of those who have been sworn into office as President since its construction in 1792. Stroll around the Ellipse, and see the memorials and statues around President's Park that serve as reminders of the nation's past.

Continue on to the Washington Monument, the world’s tallest obelisk, built to commemorate George Washington. See the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the serene Lincoln Memorial, from which you can admire the breathtaking views over the reflecting pool, which is more than 2,000 feet (618 m) long and is the spot where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963.
