Experience cherry blossom season on a guided walk through DC's most scenic memorials, where history, design, and hidden details shape this iconic springtime spectacle.
Each spring, Washington DC’s iconic cherry trees transform the Tidal Basin into a breathtaking landscape of pink and white blossoms. This fleeting spectacle, when over 3,000 trees burst into bloom, has become one of the city’s most beloved traditions and a lasting symbol of international friendship.
On this 90 minute walking tour with DC Design Tours, we’ll experience the blossoms at their best while exploring the design and symbolism of the memorials they frame. From the bold vision behind the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial to the sprawling Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and the classical grandeur of Thomas Jefferson’s temple, we’ll uncover how architecture, history, and landscape converge around the Basin. Along the way, we’ll learn the fascinating story of the cherry trees themselves and discover views and details most visitors miss.
