Description
Experience the stunning beauty of the architecture and memorials of Washington, D.C. lit up after dark. You’ll begin the tour at the U.S. Navy Memorial, then board the luxury, late-model tour bus and make yourself comfortable before we head off to iconic attractions, including the White House, the Korean War Memorial, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Each building and monument features a special illumination at night. Hop off the bus and explore the memorials with your guide, taking advantage of multiple photo opportunities. The full shimmering skyline can be seen at the start and end of your tour, including views of the twinkling Tidal Basin and Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

Great visit! Worth the money… Rocky our tour guide was wonderful
The tour guide Jack was amazing and really knew his history. Loved it!
Everything was great EXCEPT the PA on the bus. We missed some of the monologue because the PA was so bad.
Dion was the best tour guide on this super fun tour!
Toured covered all of the best spots and explained them well. Felt safe with our Driver. The Tour Guide was very knowledgeable. Recommended.
Great! Deion has a wealth of knowledge and was very informative and funny! Be prepared to walk and make sure to take a ton of pictures.
What an amazing experience. To not only explore the monuments at night, our tour guide was incredible. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable and made the entire experience worthwhile and memorable.
Enjoyed being able to see the city without killing my feet. I’ve seen the monuments many times, but this was by far the most relaxing
The knowledge Dion shared and humor made the tour so much better. Driver and assistant was helpful with getting in and out of the bus.
The tour guide, Jack, was passionate about history of DC, he memorized all the numbers and was so entertaining. The route was well planned and we got a chance to walk up to many of the sites - wear comfortable shoes. This was memorable and everyone should do it. A local family went and they also liked it. I’ve gone on other tours and they had much fewer sights. The only thing missing was the pentagon but there was so many others.
