Not enjoyable!

Tammy_V, Apr 2024

Not a great tour. We drove past monuments and didn’t see many more. It was raining but we all came prepared to get wet. Simon was not a very friendly driver and didn’t appear to enjoy his job much. Do another tour if you really want to see and enjoy the monuments after dark.

Worth Your Time!

Alicia_H, Mar 2024

Excellent tour! Our guide was hospitable, informative, and witty! I truly enjoyed this experience and recommend that you go when in Washington!

You DON'T get what you pay for

Rosario_D, Feb 2024

I do not recommend. Positive: we passed by/stopped at all the monuments. Driver new his scripted basic information for being on the job less than a month. The locations really do look nice at night with the lighting, even though some of the water fountains are turned off in the winter season. When I called to confirm the location, there was someone who answered and even called me back to confirm who I was looking for. Negative: 4 out of 6 people got off the bus after the first stop. Bus was unkept and driver had a bit of road rage. Unorthodox stops throughout entire tour. No bathroom break. He wanted to make a drive by stop at a high end restaurant (unplanned). This should have been mentioned at pick up. The onboarding stop was not marked nor displayed any sign of this being a meet-up location (other buses have a permitted location.) When we got on the bus, it was up to us to open and close the door when we hop in and hop out (which we left open almost all the time because its hard to do). Overall, unprofessional. Save your money.

This review must be for another company. We don’t have a guide one month in business.

The Night Tour is the Best D.C. Experience

Monica_S, Feb 2024

The information provided by the tour guide was information I never learned on my previous visits to D.C. Appreciated the front curb service and the focus on making sure we were able to see all the sights and get great pictures. Never felt rushed when we stopped at each monument. I'm definitely recommending to my friends and family.

Breath taking and informative after dark DC tour

Bruce_R, Feb 2024

The tour was personalized for our group. Tour guide was very friendly and provided lots of information along with a little comedy.

Washington DC at Night, A Must!

Christina_F, Jan 2024

A great experience to visit DC like this a night… a completely significant and different perspective of our nation’s monuments and historical sights!

Great tour

Ralph_F, Dec 2023

Excellent knowledge and enthusiasm. Smaller bus on off in 10 to 30 min per stop. Hyatt has lobby to wait in Lincoln and MLK at end were best.

Great time! And we had an...

Rachael_T, Sep 2023

Great time! And we had an awesome guide. There is something magical about DC at night under the lights.

Great Night tour

Carolyn_B, Sep 2023

Driver arrived on time, he was very knowledgeable, gave extra time for us to explore at several stops, the length of the tour was a full 3 hrs, the driver thanked us individually. Im so sorry i did not get his name. We totally enjoyed all the stops and narrative our tour guide gave. Thank You!!!!

Great Bucket List Experience

Tifeney_D, Sep 2023

Our tour guide Simon S was the best. He was knowledgeable and a straight forward kind of guy. He keeps his schedule when at stops so donot miss return times LOL. I enjoyed every moment. Thank u for the experience.

The monuments were great...

Linda_N, Aug 2023

The monuments were great and the tour was well organized. However, our driver, Joe, was unpleasant and it effected our overall enjoyment of the tour. D.C. is a special place and it was clear that Joe was knowledgeable. My hope would be that he could be a bit more pleasant and approachable on future tours.

Wonderful time

Hayley_D, Jul 2023

We had a wonderful time. The guide was very knowledgeable. We had plenty of time at stops to look around and take pictures.

After dark tour wasn’t as advertised..

Debbie_C, Jun 2023

The tour was disappointing as we were only in the dark for an hour, the total tour lasted 2 1/2 hours, not 3-4 as advertised. The bus driver was good, knowledgeable and funny. The experience was not as advertised..

More spots in 3 hrs!! No parking hiccups!

KishoreKumar_P, Jun 2023

Surely a thorough walkthrough of most of DC area key spots. Self exploration is fine but taking this tour is more knowledge full in less time and no parking hiccups.

DC by Moonlight - June 2023

Nancy_M, Jun 2023

Korean War Memorial, World War II Memorial were both awesome. Our guide, Frank, was incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited and DC as a whole.

DC and Night is GORGEOUS!

powerfulblackwoman19, Jun 2023

The tour and our guide were both absolutely phenomenal. We got to see some sights that were just breathtaking. Our guide was so knowledgeable and the coach was air conditioned and had plugs to charge your phone. We loved it!

Knowledgeable

Larry_T, May 2023

I wasn't left behind. Didn't have to walk back to hotel. Had knowledge of the trip sights. Was a OK Trip

This was a waste of money.

Monty_G, May 2023

It was horrible. I’ve already written one review and I want my money back. Our tour guide took us out for a three hour tour that lasted about four hours. He didn’t know what he was talking about and we just circled the same museums over and over again. Not worth the money.

Interesting tour

Chico, May 2023

Tour was great, very interesting to see the monuments at night. Driver explained everything. Tour occurred at the scheduled time.

Great tour if it is the first time in DC

Jessica_O, Mar 2023

The driver Co - Tour guide was terrific, he is very knowledgable about everything about DC. I recommend having dinner before taking the tour cause it will not be over until 11 pm.
