Highly recommend spending at least an entire day in DC to see & do all of the monuments and memorials. You'll want 2 days if you plan on going to museums. Unfortunately, ALL of the museums were shut down due to covid during our trip. Traveling during a pandemic is interesting; there were hardly any people at the national mall. We were the only 2 people at the vietnam memorial (see pic). You'll want to bring plenty of your own water and snacks. For bottled water it was at least $3 near the national mall. Bring plenty of sunscreen as well. You don't need a tour bus! Save $ and get healthy! I highly recommend renting or bringing your own bicycle or scooter. It is much easier to get around on those. We biked 10 miles in one day seeing all the popular memorials/monuments. But if you're not used to it, walking 10 miles might be difficult.
