    Gorgeous Monuments

    Kim_L, Mar 2026
    It was a long walk but a lot of fun learning the history of the monuments. Beautiful tour of an amazing city.

    Glad you liked it! Yes, comfortable shoes are a must, but we tried to pack a lot in and it's a great way to see and experience the National Mall.
