What To Expect
The National Mall is known for museums, monuments, and memory on a national scale. However, the "People's Park," as it is sometimes known, contains a history that goes well beyond these massive edifices. Explore a different side of the National Mall while still seeing the major sites, such as Capitol Hill, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Castle, and more.
This tour visits the exterior of several well-known landmarks on the Mall and enters a couple of lesser-known sites. Perfect as a complementary activity to a visit to the Capitol Building, or any of the Smithsonian Museums, this tour is ideal for guests who enjoy off-the-beaten-path and unique historical information.
This tour is approximately two hours, and circles around the primary part of the National Mall, with a halfway stop in front of the Washington Memorial for a bathroom break and an opportunity to purchase souvenirs, water, or snacks.
