Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for this walking tour? I'm thinking about taking my 10-year-old.

A: There’s actually no set minimum age for this tour, so you can definitely bring your 10-year-old! Just keep in mind that it’s a walking tour, so some kids might get tired after a while. The guide is really good with families and can adjust the pacing to fit everyone's needs.

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Thinking about the weather.

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking a lot! The weather can be unpredictable, so layers are a good idea—maybe a light jacket if it’s chilly in the morning. And don’t forget sunglasses if it’s sunny; the monuments can get pretty bright!

Q: Do we get to take pictures at the monuments? I'm planning this for my partner's birthday.

A: Absolutely, there’s plenty of time for photos at all the monuments! You'll start by the White House, and there's a nice amount of time set aside to capture memories at the Lincoln and MLK memorials, too. Just make sure your partner is ready for their close-up!

Just booked the private walking tour at the National Mall!

Hey everyone! I just booked the private half-day walking tour at the National Mall for my boyfriend’s birthday next month. I’m so excited! I’ve always wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial and the MLK Memorial up close. I heard the guides are super knowledgeable and can really make the history come alive. Has anyone done this? Any tips?

Thinking of gifting the National Mall tour—it looks amazing!

So, I’m considering gifting this Washington D.C. private walking tour to my sister! She loves history and has always wanted to visit the National Mall. I'm curious about how long the tour usually lasts and if the guide is engaging. Any insights?
