We were looking for something different to do and chose to take this tour. Sally was our guide and Chris was the bus driver. We thoroughly enjoyed Sally's commentary on each of the sites as well as points along the way. You can tell she is very knowledgeable and she's ready to answer questions. We appreciated Chris maneuvering through traffic to get us safely to each point. He would also slow down as Sally told us about points enroute, so we had time to view them. This is a whole new experience of seeing the most popular sites lit up at night. I would highly recommend this tour to individuals and families. A great way to explore the DC monuments - to see them in a different light!

We were in town for a very short visit. This is an excellent way to see key monuments in DC, without having to worry about finding your way or renting a car. Seeing them lit up at night is a bonus. The check-in and boarding process was pretty chaotic, this could be much more streamlined. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, but there was some audio equipment difficulties which made it a challenge to hear. We never received our complimentary water, which was disappointing because the tour ran for the full 3 hours and we were pretty thirsty by the end of it. Overall, glad we did it and would recommend it to others.

I enjoyed the tour with Tyrone and Dale. We learned a lot about D.C. and of the city's major sites. I found the memorials are particularly spectacular at nights, especially the MLK memorial and the Korean War memorial. The former proved to be more powerful during nights, and the latter gives haunting vibes at nights. I stress you should wear comfortable shoes during this tour, especially the 3rd phase of the tour. We had fun and will recommend this tour to friends.
