Absolutely amazing tour! Dwayne was our tour guide& he was mind blowing smart when explaining everything seen, his heart is definitely in what he does & his attention to detail is 2nd to none, as he is extremely passionate about this tour!!
My 12 year old niece really liked this night tour. Great to see the monuments at night - what a treat! Tour guide was very informative and the bus driver was very attentive and helpful. Worth the $.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your tour experience with us. It also helps other future guests see what we are all about! It is always our goal to give people a tour to remember and we are so happy you thought it was! We love hearing that our guests loved their tour experience. It really makes our day! We strive to make our tours fun and memorable for everyone every time. Hopefully we will see you back with us soon! Malaak.
It was the best from start to finish! Sally provided historical and informative commentary that was enjoyable and entertaining. We were prepared at each stop to know what to look for and context before we walked to the monument. She was able to flex seamlessly the tour stops due to 250 celebration road closures so we saw so much during our little over 3 hour night tour. We had seen Sally had high ratings so were thrilled when we got her as the tour guide. Highly recommend the night DC tour of monuments and Sally as a great tour guide and Sam the driver.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to know that your experience met your expectations. We hope to see you again soon for another great adventure in DC! Malaak.
The tour guide, James, was knowledgeable of the history and significance of the monuments and memorials. The plus is we viewed in a three hour period what I couldn’t have done in three days. The bad part was there were multiple buses resulting in a delayed departure time. At times, I felt rushed.
Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed your visit. We hope your next trip to DC includes another tour with us! Malaak.
The tour guide n driver were both amazing. Very knowledgeable. The tour guides brain is like a history book. I appreciate the wonderful service.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to know that your experience met your expectations. We hope to see you again soon for another great adventure in DC! Malaak.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see DC in a day.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re truly delighted that you had such an enjoyable experience with us. It would be an absolute pleasure to welcome you back again in the near future. Malaak.
Sally and Godfrey were very knowledgeable of the city. Sally is very humorous and was enjoyable to listen to.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy to hear that you had such a great experience with us. It means a lot to know you enjoyed your time exploring DC. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit! Malaak.
Very little history or facts given, guide did not leave the bus. From DC, will not bring guests again
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our Night Tour includes guided narration from both the vehicle and designated monument stops throughout the evening. While the tour is not intended to be a fully guided walking experience, we understand that guests may have different preferences regarding the amount of historical commentary provided. We take comments about guide performance seriously and will review your feedback with our team. We appreciate you joining us and regret that we did not deliver the experience you were hoping for."
My husband, our two teenage boys, and I absolutely loved the night tour! Seeing all the monuments lit up at night was amazing. The daytime monuments are impressive, but at night they seem to have their own personality—and thankfully, a much cooler temperature too. The real stars of the tour, though, were Sally and Godfrey. Sally has the voice of an angel. Seriously, if she ever decides to leave the tour business, she could probably narrate audiobooks, host a podcast, or calm people during emergencies. We would listen to her talk about absolutely anything. And then there was Godfrey, who deserves some sort of medal for navigating D.C. traffic. The drivers around us seemed to be participating in their own high-speed reality show, but nothing fazed him. He handled the bus with the patience of a saint and the skill of someone who has seen it all. Between the beautiful views, the nighttime atmosphere, and the company of Sally and Godfrey, this tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Even our teenage boys enjoyed it, which might be the strongest endorsement of all. Highly recommend! 🚍✨🏛️
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour. It would be our pleasure to have you join us again in the future! Malaak.
