This was my first time seeing the monuments at night. The tour guide was kind, patient and knowledgeable. He provided interesting information.
Absolutely amazing! Driver was extremely knowledgeable, made experience fun, went above and beyond when I didn’t feel well. Totally recommend experience!
Steve was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable and invited us to see our nation’s Capitol in only the best way. Having a night time tour elevated the experience of the memorials in a way I’ll never forget. Highly recommend!
Steve was an excellent tour guide. Very helpful and answered all our questions. He made himself available for anything we needed. We really enjoyed this tour.
Excellent overall, highly recommend
The tour guide gave us such insight into what we were seeing. Very valuable information. Worth your time.
Great overall view of all the top sites. Our guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Would take this tour again!
Great tour! Steve was very informative snd enthusiastic!
We had a really good night tour with Dean as our driver. Dean gave a great tour, he was very friendly and had lots of knowledge about the city and the monuments! We spent plenty of time at the monuments for pictures, and Dean showed plenty of other sites as we were driving through the area.
Steve was a great tour guide! He grew up in DC and knew a lot about the area, monuments and history.
Dean from this company was a total waste of time. Did not reply to emails. RUDE!!!! Total waste of time. We contacted him and did not hear for hours. Then he could not get us on this tour even though we paid. PLEASE DO NOT USE
Rich has done a great job to show us the best part of DC. It's a great tour to see the DC in the night. Highly recommend.
Everything was perfect. Our driver Dean was the best. Knowledgeable. Weather was perfect for a night outing.
Lots of information was shared on the ride between stops about what we were seeing outside of the van. Steve took time to ask about our plans outside of the tour and imparted some helpful info to make our visit even better.
Great Tour- Steve is very knowledgeable. Beautiful to see monuments at night.
Amazing Guide. Loved that we could drive to each spot and hop off. Very extensive and definitely felt like there was enough time to spend at each landmark. Would definitely do again.
Dean adjusted the tour to our small group to allow more time at places we wanted extra time. He was pleasant, attentive and informative.
We had an incredible experience on the Moonlight Monuments Tour! Our guide, Dean, was phenomenal. He is incredibly knowledgeable and his genuine passion for history shone through in every story he shared.The absolute highlight for me was visiting the WWII Memorial and the MLK Memorial. I had never seen either of them before, and viewing the former beautifully illuminated at night was truly unforgettable. The tour offers great value for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Steve was awesome and very knowledgable. We learned a lot on the tour. We had already went to most of the stops in the day. However night views were amazing. Pickup was easy to find. Van was comfortable and very clean. I would highly recommend this tour.
It was great - despite the pouring rain that came. Our driver was so knowledgeable and great conversation. He had umbrellas for all and though it poured - we made the best of it!!
Nice small group size and seeing the monuments all lite up at night is a must do! Beautiful experience! Kevin, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did an incredible job!
Top notch experience! All members of our family (including an 11 and 8 year old) had a wonderful time. This tour was recommended by a friend, and it lived up to their excellent experience.
The guide and the places he took us and the things he told us were WONDERFUL!!!
Galen was very knowledgeable and he made the tor fun. Lovely time!
We were given so much interesting information that we never would have known without doing this tour. I highly recommend doing this particular tour. A smaller group moves around much easier,
I really really enjoyed this tour, you don't realize how beautiful things look at the monuments until you see their wonderful lighting against the night sky ....it's a completely different experience from seeing them during the day it was really really worth it !!!! Just beautiful
Very informative and flexible when barriers were in our way. Rich was attentive to mobility limits. He did his best to get the best view of sites.
Great time - fantastic guide.
Dean was very knowledgeable. We learned so much about each landmark we passed by and visited. What a great way to kick off our DC experience!
Loved it! Very informative- Steve was great. It was nice having a small group. Very enjoyable! Highly recommend!
Despite the lousy weather, Dean did a great job getting us to the Memorials and offered us the opportunity to get out and snap some wonderful pictures. He really knew what he was talking about and really seemed to like his job.
The driver was very hospitable and knowledgeable . He took us to each of the cites we expected to see and talked along the way with historical backgrounds on what we were seeing. Then he got us as close as he could to each one, and most of them we got to get out and walk around and photograph. Delightful.
This tour provides a way to see all of the big monuments in a short amount of time. Our guide, Rich, was very knowledgeable and communicated very well. The timing and pace of the tour is excellent.
Rich was an outstanding tour guide during our trip to Washington, D.C. His knowledge of the city's history, landmarks, and hidden gems made every stop both interesting and memorable. He was engaging, personable, and always willing to answer questions, making sure everyone felt included and informed throughout the tour. What truly set Rich apart was how much he genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience. At the end of a long day, he went out of his way to make an extra stop so we could see the iconic White House at night. It was a special moment that many of us will never forget, and it showed his dedication to ensuring our group experienced the very best of Washington, D.C. Rich's enthusiasm, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile made our trip exceptional.
Excellent experience with Rich, very knowledgeable, interesting and fun! Highly recommend booking, you won’t regret!
Loved the night tour! Our driver and guide Rich was punctual, courteous, knowledgeable and took great care of us.
Trip was very different from anything we've experienced and a beautiful way to see the monuments. Our guide was so knowledgeable and polite. We didn't feel rushed at all and it was a great experience.
Fantastic. Best way to see major sights quick and easy. Dean was terrific! Why do I need 100 characters to finish review? Confuses people.
Loved seeing DC at night. Our tour guide went beyond by dropping me and my girlfriend off at our hotel!! So grateful for his knowledge and kindness.
Really fun; guide was nice and knowledgeable. Small group setting which I liked. Was able to see several places. Really a cool experience at night.
Excellent experience. Driver (Rich) was very knowledgeable and communicated well. He was extremely friendly and answered all our questions. He was also open to our input regarding what we were most interested in doing and seeing.
Rich was amazing. The tour and stops were great and Rich made it even more special. His history and stories made it come alive. His care for the passengers safety and enjoyment was obvious. This company cares for our experience. 5 star all the way.
We were only 4 person in the tour - perfect! We saw so much in this “short” time (3,5 hours) Our guide (Dean) was amazing - he could give an answer to every question
We thoroughly enjoyed this guided tour! Rich was an awesome guide… super knowledgeable and fun. Definitely highly recommend this! Seeing these monuments at night is a must.
This is a wonderful way to see the monuments at night. You get a whole different perspective of them than during the day. Daniel was our guide and he was full of great information about not only the monuments but the area. I would highly recommend this tour as well as Daniel.
Dean, our tour guide was exceptional. His knowledge of history is priceless You experience Washinton in 3 hours
Dean is a relatable guide who knows a lot about D.C. and its history. The tour is well paced and fairly inclusive. Traffic stops due to recent White House Easter Egg Roll caused him to change sequence of the tour. Consequently, we stopped at Korean War Memorial before it was dark. 15 years ago I was there at night and knew how more moving it is lit up in dark. We commented that we planned to go back another night to catch that ambience. At the end, he took us back on his own kind accord. We highly recommend this tour and Dean.
Tour was very well organised and communication was great. We loved seeing all of the sights at night and our tour guide was a wealth of information. Highly recommend this tour
Wonderful tour of the monuments. Guide was amazing. Very informative and fun. Got us right in close to all the spots. Perfect amount of time at each spot.
