I was coming to DC to look at a school, so I decided to ask my mom to come with me to make it a fun weekend. The one thing she wanted to do? See the monuments all lit up at night. Boy, did this tour DELIVER. Our guide, Terry was extremely knowledgeable about DC history and monuments, and was extremely engaging to listen too. It was clear she loved her city and her job. It was a little chilly the night of our tour, and we were embarrassingly unprepared for the cool weather, but it did not diminish the experience at all. It was a clear night and the monuments looked amazing. Terry knew all the best spots and tricks for pictures. I would absolutely recommend this tour, just be sure to wear comfy shoes and to bring a jacket and a good camera. The pictures from my iPhone barely capture how beautiful everting looked.

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. She was able to explain and educate everyone on the different builds we drove past and the monuments we visited. She showed was great spots to take pictures for memories. Our bus driver was also amazing! The whole ride was smooth and wasn’t rough. Nice easy breaks and turns totally could’ve fallen asleep if we wasn’t so amazing.

Christopher and Theo (our driver) were terrific. Our guide prepped us on what to expect before each stop. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours, which was perfect. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
