Q&A
A: You’ll want to wear comfy shoes since you’ll be walking about 2.2 miles. Dress in layers too—it can get hot in DC but chilly in the shade. Also, don’t forget a hat or sunscreen if it’s sunny. Just make sure you’re ready for whatever weather DC throws at you!
A: The tour is suitable for ages 13 and up, so younger teens can definitely join! It's educational but also fun, especially with the guide being a former comedian. I bet your teen would enjoy it, especially if they're into history!
A: If rain is expected, they typically offer rescheduling options. Just reach out to Walking Backward Tours a day before to check on your options. DC weather can be unpredictable, so it’s good to have a backup plan!

Just finished the Presidents on the National Mall tour—what an experience!
I took the Presidents on the National Mall tour last weekend, and it was fantastic! We started at the Garfield Monument and ended at the Lincoln Memorial. The guide was super knowledgeable and honestly hilarious! It lasted about 2.5 hours and covered a good amount of history without feeling boring. The extended version to the FDR and Jefferson Memorials sounds tempting for next time!
Thinking of gifting this tour to my dad for his birthday!
I’m considering the Presidents on the National Mall tour for my dad’s birthday. He loves history but isn’t in the best shape. Do you think it’s easy enough for someone who’s a bit older? Any tips or advice would be super helpful!
