Washington DC Monuments Open-Air Sightseeing Guided Tour
Description
Experience D.C. as day turns to night on this intimate sunset, day and moonlight tour, limited to just 12 guests max for a personalized vibe. You’ll ride in a unique, 360-degree open-air vehicle offering completely unobstructed views and a refreshing breeze. We’ve got you covered for any weather: a protective sunroof shields you from the daytime sun, clear roll-down covers keep you dry if it rains, and the overhead design still lets you look up and stargaze as the night unfolds. Unlike tours that just drive past, we actually stop and let you step off to explore and take photos at the WWII, Vietnam Veterans, FDR, and MLK Memorials. Between stops, glide past the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and U.S. Capitol, watching them transform into glowing beacons under the moonlight. Led by an expert storyteller sharing insider history, this all-weather, day-to-night journey is the ultimate way to experience the capital.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the 8 PM night tour and appreciated your guide’s knowledge and sense of humor. We’re so glad you had an awesome experience with us!
We didn’t really like this experience. The guide was nice and knowledgeable but the experience was not what we expected. The bus was too crowded and when you had to keep getting in and out it was a very very tight squeeze. We did not like this at all
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad you found your guide friendly and knowledgeable, but we’re sorry to hear that the seating and overall comfort did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue working to improve the experience for our guests.
Kevin was awesome. Great tour.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you had a great tour and enjoyed your time with Kevin. We truly appreciate your support!
People were crammed into golfcarts, it was so incredibly uncomfortable and hot. Will not repeat this tour company, other companies we saw only seat 2 people per row and this one crammed 3 people in a row. I was literally squished between 2 people. We had a work group of 7 people and we were hoping to get a comfortable cart to comfortably fit us all like advertised. The cart we had was struggling to carry the weight, you could hear it struggling. The locations are great.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the seating arrangement affected your comfort during the tour, especially in the summer heat. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as guest comfort is very important to us and your comments will help us improve the experience for future groups. We’re glad you still enjoyed the locations visited during the tour.
