Stop 1
This is the two-mile heart of America. On the day you turn 250, this is where the whole world looks. During this full day on the National Mall, your private guide takes you through 12 of Washington's most powerful landmarks, from the World War II Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial, from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial to the Tidal Basin where cherry blossoms frame the water in one of the most beautiful settings in the country. We walk when the story calls for it. We ride the Circulator Bus when your feet need a rest. We stop, breathe, and let the scale of each memorial sink in before moving on. There is no rushing on this tour. Seven hours means you actually feel each place rather than just photograph it. Midday we stop for a picnic lunch, included in your tour, right on the grounds where 250 years of American history surrounds you on every side. This is not a checklist. This is a full day inside America's greatest mile, in the year America turns 250.
