Dean from this company was a total waste of time. Did not reply to emails. RUDE!!!! Total waste of time. We contacted him and did not hear for hours. Then he could not get us on this tour even though we paid. PLEASE DO NOT USE
Rich has done a great job to show us the best part of DC. It's a great tour to see the DC in the night. Highly recommend.
Everything was perfect. Our driver Dean was the best. Knowledgeable. Weather was perfect for a night outing.
Lots of information was shared on the ride between stops about what we were seeing outside of the van. Steve took time to ask about our plans outside of the tour and imparted some helpful info to make our visit even better.
Great Tour- Steve is very knowledgeable. Beautiful to see monuments at night.
Amazing Guide. Loved that we could drive to each spot and hop off. Very extensive and definitely felt like there was enough time to spend at each landmark. Would definitely do again.
Dean adjusted the tour to our small group to allow more time at places we wanted extra time. He was pleasant, attentive and informative.
We had an incredible experience on the Moonlight Monuments Tour! Our guide, Dean, was phenomenal. He is incredibly knowledgeable and his genuine passion for history shone through in every story he shared.The absolute highlight for me was visiting the WWII Memorial and the MLK Memorial. I had never seen either of them before, and viewing the former beautifully illuminated at night was truly unforgettable. The tour offers great value for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Steve was awesome and very knowledgable. We learned a lot on the tour. We had already went to most of the stops in the day. However night views were amazing. Pickup was easy to find. Van was comfortable and very clean. I would highly recommend this tour.
