This tour was really good! We chose the 3-hour tour and it took us to all the most 'important' sights. I would definitely recommend it :)

I would highly recommend this nighttime tour of DC. Seeing the monuments for the very first time as my kids did this past week illuminated is absolutely the way to go! Dwayne was incredibly knowledgeable about all things DC which really made the tour that much more special. The only critique that I have is that there didn't seem to be enough time to experience all the monuments so perhaps they need to consider beginning the tour 30 minutes earlier? I realize that they time it along with when the monuments will be illuminated but the backside FDR, MLK, Iwo Jima felt very rushed.

Expected to visit too many memorials alone. General consensus of many of the travelers. Noticed other tour guides accompanied their guests whilst explaining. Given 15 mins at world war 2 monument. Other guides Explained sections We nearly missed the stars.
Guide spoke fast. Difficult following.
