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.

The night tour was fun and the monuments are beautiful day or night. Spectacular in lights. Our guide Simon, was knowledgeable in a lot of interesting, details about the sites. There is a lot to see. However, there were also statues and memorials that he drove past that can barely be seen when streets or parks are in near darkness. The major sites were in view and stopping to get pictures is the highlight.

michaelhilz52

The tour was underwhelming. We didn't stop at the Jefferson or Washington monuments or the WW1 memorial. We just drove nearby. Dr, Zohery was very knowlegeable, but his accent made it difficult to understand.

Angelita_M

The MLK Monument was the most memorable! We loved the whole trip! We loved being able to purchase souvenirs right on the bus. Half day tour was perfect amount of time for our family of 3! Would definitely recommend!

Julie_C

Great overview of all the monuments, great photo opportunities. Easy way to see allot in a limited time. Took notes on what to come back and spend more time at. Very knowledgeable guide.

Ursula_M

Mr. Ali was very friendly; he did the tour even though only 5 people were registered. He told us lots of interesting facts about all the sights. Thank you very much!!!!

Richard_L

Knowledgeable friendly guide, comfortable bus and a nice pace around the attractions. Enough time to stretch legs and visit the main attractions around Washington too.

MaryAnn_G

Our tour guide Dr. Ali was great. Gave us a detailed background/history of every memorial, historical site, and buildings. The bus is spacious and comfortable.

Vicki_W

Seen many places and driver was knowledgeable and efficient. Another driver called in, so the tour started late and the driver filling in apologized.

Roger_J

My DC tour was fantastic. I especially enjoyed that my family and I were in a small group in a sprinter van as opposed to a large group in a big bus. Our guide Bobby was very knowledgeable and entertaining during the tour. I would recommend the night experience..

Kylie_S

I was enlightened, educated and entertained. Everything our guide promised. Great tour. I did the night ride. I was riding for one and enjoyed the company of the other tour riders!
