Excellent Small Group Walking Tour! - We absolutely loved this small walking tour of the mall. Plus, it included the Washington monument. So convenient! We finished the tour at the monument and went right to the top.
Brenda, our guide, was an amazing fountain of knowledge! Plus she knew where to take the best pictures and took them for us! We really enjoyed her and would sign up for another tour with her!

Worth It - This was the perfect activity for my family while we were in the DC area for a wedding. Just being able to go up into the Washington Monument makes it worth it, seeing as those tickets apparently sell out like 6 months in advance. Amanda was our tour guide and she was absolutely perfect. We have a very talkative/inquisitive 13-year-old and Amanda was very patient, answering every. single. question.
Honestly I have zero notes in terms of what could be improved. We learned a lot, it was a beautiful day, and we had an incredible time.

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.
