Tour guide had good info but we could not hear her. The shuttle bus squeaked so loud nobody could hear anything. The bus badly needs maintenance. Took fun out of the tour.

This was a top-notch tour! The tour left promptly at the appointed time and we rode in very comfortable open air short buses which allowed us to enjoy the very pleasant late summer evening and also see everything much better. Our guide, Nick, was hands-down one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable, he was patient, he was friendly, and he took great care of us. Absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the monuments at night. I’ve done the evening monument tour with a couple of different companies over the years and this was definitely the best.

This was an excellent experience. Dre was a fantastic guide who provided valuable information and insight. Patrice was a great driver. The bus was very comfortable. Be aware this is not just a bus ride—there are multiple opportunities to get off the bus and explore the monuments. And it’s truly beautiful to see the monuments at night—we happened to enjoy a clear full-moon night.
