Your tour guide
Hello. I’m Brett Williams the founder of the Ylore app. When you think Washington DC, you think big. Big government. Monuments. History. The National Mall ticks all those boxes. Plus as bonus, it’s all flat which is a plus when your exploring.
This tour is not just about monuments, but the people they were built to honor. There are heroes we look up to who did great things for America, but there are also ordinary Americans who answered the call when their country needed them. We should pause and honor their sacrifices too.
Now go explore.
Happy travels
