Description:

With its white marble monuments and floodlit fountains, the nation's capital is particularly stirring after the sun goes down. Visit D.C.'s most celebrated memorials under the tranquil hush of the evening hours, hopping off your bus at each site for an in-depth exploration with your guide.

Your tour begins at the US Navy Memorial and loops around the National Mall, stopping at iconic landmarks and powerful tributes to key moments in American history along the way. Admire the Jefferson Memorial, a classical structure perched regally on the banks of the Potomac, and stand at the feet of the 16th president at the Lincoln Memorial.

Trace the names in the wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which sprawls over 3 park-like acres (1.2 ha), and pay your respects to the valor of the United State Marine Corps at the Iwo Jima Memorial, a sculpture based on a powerful photo taken during World War II. Stop at 1964 Independence Avenue—the address commemorates the year the Civil Rights Act became law—to reflect on the influence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and stand outside the regal lawns of the White House.

Just past the reflecting pool on the National Mall, the powerful Korean War Memorial awaits. In the dusky shadows between the trees, 19 larger-than-life statues of soldiers stand as if bracing themselves against the wind. Listen as your guide shares details about the historical events honored at each of these memorials and the design of the monuments themselves before returning to the US Navy Memorial, where your tour concludes.
