Our recent Road Scholar trip to Washington, D.C. exceeded every expectation! The itinerary struck the ideal balance between rich historical context and seamless logistics.
Taking in the iconic monuments and memorials along the National Mall—from the solemn reverence of the Lincoln and war memorials to the inspiring presence of the MLK Jr. Memorial—was a deeply moving experience. The absolute highlight of the journey, however, was our visit to George Washington’s Mount Vernon. Touring the estate, walking the peaceful grounds overlooking the Potomac, and exploring the education center offered an exceptionally vivid window into American history.
A special mention goes to our extraordinary tour guide, Terry Rose. She brought history alive at every single stop with her tremendous depth of knowledge, warmth, humor, and effortless management of our group.
For anyone looking for a rich, educational, and inspiring look at the nation's capital, this program is top-tier. Highly recommended!

An absolute wonderful trip. Our leader was one of the most amazing people we have met. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and appreciated. The sites we saw just brought such awe and joy and a better understanding. I highly recommend Monumental DC.

This Trip was made miserable by the hordes of large school groups of early teenagers/"eighth graders" at every site we visited! I believe Road Scholars is/ought to be aware that this occurs every year, mid-April to mid-June. We should have been warned, or maybe even these Tours should be suspended during this annual window. A MOB SCENE every day!

Road Scholar is a fantastic way to explore and learn behind the scene information while everything is taken care of (hotel, sight seeing, meals). Great way to meet new friends!

From a "newbie" to visiting DC monuments.... I couldn't have chosen a better leader than Steve Flynn. He has a HUGE love and experience with living in DC that really resonated with me. This RS program just whetted my appetite for more DC programs. Highly recommend this program especially for those who have not had much experience with visiting in our Nation's Capital.
