Memorials by Moonlight

See America’s most iconic monuments in a dramatic new light

This tour is reserved for booking by private groups only.

This is the classic Washington walk. You’ll visit a selection of the city’s famous memorials including:

  • National World War II Memorial
  • Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial
  • Korean War Veterans Memorial
  • Abraham Lincoln Memorial
  • and the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial

The Washington Monument and Thomas Jefferson Memorial are seen and discussed from a distance.

Our D.C. night tour has something for everyone

Experience neoclassical architecture, modern sculpture, haunting remembrances of war, historical insights, and even funny tales.

We’ll start with the big picture, standing near the Reflecting Pool, where the view stretches unencumbered from Abraham Lincoln’s Memorial to the Washington Monument. Then we’ll head toward the evening sun.

Along the way, our guides set the scene for the Federal City’s original plans to memorialize its national heroes and how they’ve evolved with time.

As we approach each memorial, you’ll hear its individual story and then have time to look around yourself, watching the lights come up in America’s capital city.

Reviewers of this Washington Walk said:

The tour leader was knowledgeable and the city is magnificent at dusk — what’s not to like. I would recommend this tour.
