The tour was exceptional. Sally and Chris did a fantastic job taking care of us in DC traffic and providing historical, political, and social context to the monuments and areas we were seeing/visiting. Chris did an amazing job in choreographing/coordinating the arrival and loading of the tour guests. Sally performed equally superbly in sharing her considerable historical knowledge and anecdotes regarding not only the historical sites, but also the social, economic, and political implications of their development, construction, and existence. We had visited DC on previous occasions and had seen most of the monuments during daylight hours. Seeing them at night and Sally's commentary was special. We visited during the first full week of October and the weather could only be described as glorious! We highly recommend this tour and specifically Sally and Chris! It was worth every penny of the price of admission!!!

Our guides Dave and Godfrey were extraordinary! Full of information about the area as well as each monument. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them and seeing the monuments lit. I wish we could have gone to the Jefferson Memorial.

I’ve been to DC several times, but never experienced all the monuments at night. This is a must! They all glow, and are absolutely stunning. Our tour guides Sally and Chris, were amazing. Sally is so knowledgeable with the history of everything. This is a must tour!
