My family had such an amazing night tour of DC. I loved seeing the monuments at dusk and evening. Our tour guide, Nick, was a wealth of information and keep our tour light, fun, and informative. Take this tour, you won’t regret it!

This tour is excellent. We took this tour with our 6 and 9 year old children and our mother in law (60s). Please note, while this is a tour that drives you to each site by bus, there is still a lot of walking and many of the monuments have stairs. While you don't have to be incredibly physically fit to take the tour, you will want to be able to complete walking many flights of stairs (the most is the Lincoln Memorial with 87 stairs). Each stop allows you to view the sites for approximately 15 minutes before returning to the bus and traversing to the next location . The busses are comfortable and provide free water. I believe this is the best way to see all of the monuments quickly, visiting in the evening allows great photo opps with less crowds, all while learning interesting facts about each monument as well as many historical and significant buildings along the way. Dré, our tour guide, has mastered the art of storytelling, and his presentation was overflowing with a plethora of insightful facts and symbolic reverie, delivered in a rhythmic flow likened to that of a spoken word poet. You'll be remiss if you don't bring a $20 dollar bill on this trip, as after he moves you to tears with his retelling of our nation's most significant historic events, your guilt of not tipping him adequately will haunt you like John Adams haunts Jefferson's memorial with taunts about how, in the end, he lived longer.

We really enjoyed our tour guide and driver Chris. He was so knowledgeable as well as very kind. At each stop he gave us information followed by time to walk around and take pictures . We never felt rushed and the open top was really a unique experience. I am not usually one to spend this much but this tour is worth the extra money.
