Spring is Washington, D.C.'s best season! Come see Washington's famous cherry blossoms, and the National Mall and its monuments. Did you know that most of the Mall used to be part of the Potomac River? Do you know about the controversy surrounding the design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial? On the National Mall & Monuments tour, you'll hear the answers to these questions and see the
Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and a lot more.

You can also explore the White House to the Capitol on America's Main Street, Pennsylvania Avenue. You'll hear about a trial of Nazi spies and why the Oval Office is shaped that way. You can also see some well-known (and not so well-known) Civil War sites in Washington, including where John Wilkes Booth met with his co-conspirators and the site of a stop on the Underground Railroad.



No matter how long your stay is, there's more to see in D.C. than you'll have time for. Seeing just the Smithsonian museums around the Mall could take you days, and add in time for a visit to Arlington National Cemetery or the White House, and you've got a great trip to Washington.
