LED Night Tour

Craig was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. The stops were great. Jose, the driver, did a great job navigating. Excellent tour!!! The LED bracelets made it very easy to keep track of your group among many other groups. And the ear buds were great to be able hear all of the history. Definitely would do this tour again!!!!!!

Seeing the monuments at...

Patricia_S, Mar 2024

Seeing the monuments at night was memorable. I learned a lot from the tour and José and Paul were most courteous and informative. Thank you for a great evening.

Great night tour

Great service, hotel pick up and drop off, water, snacks, family owned business. Clean mini bus, which allowed for a smaller group to have a more intimate conversation about the sites. Knowledgeable guide and driver, headsets that allowed all to hear all the commentary. Would recommend this to anyone!

Over promised, under delivered

Chelsey_L, Apr 2022

I want to start off by saying if this tour was solely based on the guide (we had Steve) then I would give it 5 stars. Sadly, the tour description promised so much more beyond a knowledgeable guide. 1) NO Earpieces. Our guide spoke loud enough but the purpose was to be able to walk around while listening, and obviously that was not possible 2) NO LED bracelets. Our group was only made up of 9 people but still, there were sooooo many people at the monuments Easter weekend and as it gets dark, it gets harder to find your people. 3) NO Gingerbread cookie at the Lincoln Memorial. As a history lover, I was really excited for this unique piece of the tour and our guide had no idea it was even offered to us. Major bummer. 4)The order of the tour was incorrect which isn't the end of the world, but I do not recall stopping at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at all, and because it wasn't well lit, we didn't stop at the US Marine Corp War Memorial either. If it's a night tour, why add a stop to a place with no good lighting? The Capitol building was basically at the end of the tour, and my husband and I decided to leave at this point because we were under the impression that it was over after that and our BnB was nearb. It's possible that they did indeed drive past Arlington, FBI HQ, and a couple of museums, but the driver made it seem like we were out of time so I am unsure if those things actually happened. Being on the other side of the city at that point, I am doubtful Arlington was any part of it. Honestly, you'd be better off during a day tour. We got some "ok" photos but because it was dark AND rainy for a good majority, we were pretty disappointed, especially because the only thing that really matched was the light refreshments. Weather is not in anyone's control, but that wasn't even the worst part. No tour should offer things in their description that they do not actually provide, especially for the price you pay. Aside from Steve, we felt really let down on our first night of exploring DC because of this tour. Pick another!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hello Ms. Chelse, We are sorry we didn't accomplish with your expectations. I want to share we don't use earpieces if is raining since we charge those so it can ge damage.
