Traveler reviews
You won't regret the extra cost.
Excellent tour, a little pricy but the guide was great and so was the company. It is a smaller group of people. The bus itself was open top and since the weather was good we had a wonderful as we went from place to place.
Fun Time
George and Sylvia make it an enjoyably fun evening seeing the main sites in DC. The drop off and pick up at each site were easy, and the narration was extremely informative, as well as humorous and witty. I highly recommend this tour when seeking a night tour in DC.
DC Monuments at night
Elvis was the most amazing guide ever! He was knowledgeable, funny, and so personable and kind!
Stunning Views
Great views. October is the perfect time to take the tour as the weather is great, the humidity is low, and the views are stunning. Ricky and Buzz were excellent driver and tour guide. Money well spent on my first trip to the Arlington/DC area.
We had a beautiful night...
We had a beautiful night to see the monuments. I highly recommend going on this tour. The monuments are gorgeous at night and we were blessed to be there during the full moon which enhanced everything. They gave us so much history, made sure to answer all our questions and gave us ample time to take pictures. Tony and Brittany were absolutely the best tour guides. They were so knowledgeable and had a lot of fun with us. I would definitely suggest this to everyone.
