We've been on the Mall many times, but this time we decided to try a walking tour. We're so glad we did. It was so informative. We learned so much! Bob, our guide, was GREAT. He knew so much history and had great informative facts and stories that we never would have gotten by just walking the Mall by ourselves. Thanks, BOB!…

The National Mall is a place in DC that just simply needs to be visited—no buts, no questions asked, no fits, period. It forms such a dynamic, crucial part of the US in terms of culture, history, politics, and economics, and it’s referenced to no end in movies, books, and all types of media.

The National Mall is a must see while visiting DC! It’s so spectacular to be at one end or the other and see the grandeur of this place. The architect of the mall sure knew how to make a statement!!!

Let’s be straight up. The Smithsonian Museums, the National Gallery, the monuments & memorials on the National Mall are tremendous & mind-boggling. You want to see it all but the heat temperatures and walking expanse slow you down. I started at the original Smithsonian Castle w/ the Enid Haupt gardens. Stunning. Educational. Exotic. Enigmatic. You want to stay and read the label of each plant. You get garden envy and start dreaming of planting succulents, lavender, cacti, lilies & ornamental grass! I stayed longer and took too many photos. The museum exhibits were closed, but the NG West Wing was open w/ timed entry tickets on line. …
