  • National World War I Memorial (Pass By)

    The National World War I Memorial is a national memorial commemorating the service rendered by members of the United States Armed Forces in World War I. The 2015 National Defense Authorization Act authorized the World War I Centennial Commission to build the memorial in Pershing Park, located at 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. The park, which has existed since 1981, also contains the John J. Pershing General of the Armies commemorative work. In January 2016, the design commission selected the submission "The Weight of Sacrifice", by a team consisting of Joseph Weishaar, Sabin Howard, Phoebe Lickwar, and GWWO Architects, as the winning design,[1] which is expected to be completed by 2024.[2]

  • Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial (Pass By)

    Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Located to the south of the National Mall, the national memorial is set in a park-like plaza, with large columns framing a mesh tapestry depicting the site of the Normandy landings, and sculptures and bas-reliefs arrayed in the park. Architect Frank Gehry designed the memorial and Sergey Eylanbekov sculpted the bronze statues of Eisenhower in various settings. The memorial's tapestry artist was Tomas Osinski, and the inscription artist, Nicholas Waite Benson. On October 25, 1999, the United States Congress created the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission, and charged it with creating "...an appropriate permanent memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower...to perpetuate his memory and his contributions to the United States." The preliminary design proved controversial. After several years of hearings and several design changes by Gehry, final design approvals were given in 2017, when dignitaries held a groundbreaking ceremony at the four-acre site.

DC high points

Published on Jan, 2025

Even with some weather and road closures due to the inauguration, we had a good tour! The guide was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. All the guest were respectful to each other. I enjoyed time to see most monuments, take pictures and shop visitor stands. He navigated the tricky road closures well so we didn't miss anything on our tour!

Family and friends traveling to DC for the New Years holidays

Published on Jan, 2025

Ali was very informative about all the landmarks in Washington DC. He also loves his job which reflected in his passion for meeting new people for his tour. We have been to DC several times and we still manage to learn new things all the time. The Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and Washington Monumeny never disappoint. Thank you for a great experience.

It's perfect for getting to know the general information about the city and the most important places around it. Good information shared by the driver, lots of interesting data. We traveled with my dad so not having to walk all the distance, helped a lot.
