There’s a lot happening on Capitol Hill. The grounds and architecture are completely awe-inspiring. You’ll experience history in the Old Supreme Court and Senate Chambers, experience the beautiful rotunda and enjoy the sculptures in the National Statuary as well as throughout the rest of the building. The third floor is perhaps the most exciting, however, as they lead to the viewing galleries for the Senate and House of Representatives.

Lincoln Memorial
One of the most familiar presidential memorials in Washington D.C., the Lincoln Memorial is beautifully designed in the neoclassic architecture popular with our founding fathers. It is filled with Lincoln’s own profound words and inspiring speeches. This is sure to be one of the most memorable sites on your tour.
Jefferson Memorial
This memorial is modeled after the Pantheon of Rome. You’ll certainly feel you’re in the presence of greatness beneath Jefferson’s statue and surrounded by his writings. The presidential memorials are just some of the moving experiences on the National Mall, and we hope you get to see each and every one.
WWII Memorial
The National World War II Memorial is a beautiful resting place and prominent landmark on the famous national mall. It has several components – the Freedom Wall dedicated to fallen heroes, the pillars to represent every state, territory, and commonwealth in the union, as well as the large steps and beautiful fountains that make it such a popular and refreshing attraction.
Washington Monument
The Washington Monument is perhaps the most recognizable landmark in the city and is, quite deliberately, the most prominent. Its imposing height and structure were chosen to honor George Washington’s prominent role in our history. The exhibits dedicated to him are fascinating, and the 30-40 mile visibility from the top will thrill you. |
