Unscripted Tours Introduces New Veterans & Monuments Walking Tour in Partnership with the U.S. Navy Memorial

Washington, D.C. — October 29, 2025 — Unscripted Tours is excited to announce the launch of its newest experience: the Veterans & Monuments Walking Tour, offered in close collaboration with the United States Navy Memorial. This unique partnership unites the storytelling expertise of Unscripted Tours with the rich heritage and exhibits of the Navy Memorial to deliver a deeply immersive walk through America’s military past — from the Revolutionary War to modern-day service.

A Tour with History, Heart & Heritage

The tour begins at the Navy Memorial and winds through the famous monuments and historic sites around downtown Washington, D.C. Participants will explore not only must-see monuments, but also authentic artifacts — some dating back to the Revolutionary War — that bring tangible connection to the experiences of those who served.

Guided by historians and storytellers from Unscripted Tours, the walk reveals lesser-known stories of sacrifice, service, and civic memory. In conjunction with the Navy Memorial’s exhibits, guests will have exclusive access and commentary on key pieces of military heritage.

“Our goal is to provide more than a sightseeing walk,” said Liam Gideon, Founder & Lead Guide of Unscripted Tours. “With this tour, we’re bridging story and site — connecting the dots between the monuments you see and the artifacts and voices behind them. Partnering with the Navy Memorial allows us to offer a richer, deeper journey through our shared military legacy.”

Key Highlights of the Tour

• Visit the Navy Memorial Visitor Center and select exhibits, including uniforms, ship models, and interactive Navy Log archives. (Navy Memorial) 

• A curated walking route on major DC monuments highlighting veterans and their impact throughout U.S. history. 

• Stories of service from the Revolutionary War onward — including artifacts, documents, and personal accounts seldom presented on public tours.
