Itinerary
Travelers will visit the iconic Washington Monument, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the United States. After entering the monument, guests will ride a high-speed elevator to the observation level at the top, where they can enjoy panoramic views of Washington, DC. From the observation windows, visitors can see major landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial, U.S. Capitol, White House, Jefferson Memorial, National Mall, and the Potomac River. Along the way up and down, the elevator briefly stops to showcase historical stones built into the monument, highlighting contributions from states, organizations, and countries. At the top, travelers can take photos, learn about the monument’s history, and appreciate a unique bird’s-eye perspective of the nation’s capital. The experience is self-guided, educational, and suitable for all ages, making it a memorable stop for first-time visitors and returning travelers alike.

Good way to see the monument if you can't snag tickets when they're released - especially if you want to make sure to get there.
Did not happen! Cancelled on day
Beautiful view and the guides at the top were friendly and happy to answer any questions. Restrooms are in disrepair.
Easy and quick entry. Went right to the top, no lines, no hanging around in the hot weather. Staff was extra friendly and views were AMAZING
It was terrible. Stressful. Did not receive the proper QR code. Had to contact company, put on hold several different times!
Great experience, great self-guided tour. Definitely a must do when visiting or living in DC. Make sure you have your QR code ready before you get to the entry of the Washington Monument.
Very pleasant experience. Not crowded and not rushed. Kids enjoyed looking out at each direction from the Washington Monument.
Amanda from Babylon tours did a great job hitting the high points and keeping everything flowing.
This is a must do when visiting DC. The views are spectacular. We paid for the no wait although there was no queue at all when we visited. However, it was good to have peace of mind for access.
Very enjoyable & informative.
The tours to the WWII , Lincoln, Korean monuments and the Vietnam memorial were great in that the guide gave us a brief introduction and we ventured on our own afterwards for each site. The highlight was entrance to the Washington Monument and that is when the tour guide left us. Overall, Greg and his teammate were informative but not lengthy! Just the right amount of talk you want on a tour!
Great experience and the Rangers were very polite and helpful
Buying the tickets from Trip Advisor and redeeming the tickets on my phone at the entrance was very simple. No wait when we got there at 11 am. Quick ride up 500 feet in an elevator to a Birds Eye view of Washington including the White House and some history displays. I noticed there are different options and prices for these tickets on TA. Get the least expensive ones available. They are all the same. Another option is to order them from the government website 30 days prior for free . Enjoy. A must do once in your lifetime
They texted me the tickets. I basically paid for the tickets that were claimed within minutes from the recreation.gov site. I was logged in when they were released and could not get them. These companies snap them up and then sell them to you at a profit. There is nothing else associated with the tour other than receiving the tickets. I wanted to do this so I paid it. Annoying cash grab.
When we arrived at the monument, we were informed they do not honor tickets from this Company. The Parks attendant stated “ They always do this.”
The park service sells the same ticket for $1. Unfortunately they disapear within a second of being released the day before. Only way to get up the monument was to pay these guys $25 for the same ticket. Looks like scalping to me. Someone is making a fortune here in a very dishonest way.
Fun very exciting to say we went to the top. We had a good time. Thank you I don’t want to enter more
Seamless! Very well organized. The views are spectacular. Staff were very friendly & efficient. Wowza!!
Got a message that we could not come at scheduled time and the days they said we could reschedule did not work for me
This is an amazing opportunity to see the city in all its beauty and glory. Views of the city are incredibly breathtaking and surreal.
