What travelers are saying
My clients raved about this excursion! The guide was engaging with their family of boys and was full of knowledge. It was a unique way to experience the monuments and get the history as well. Highly recommend!
Guide was too focused on one area and his agenda. Your itself was good and could have been great with a different guide
We really enjoyed this experience. Dr. Ed Cook was knowledgeable and fun. The monuments were beautiful at as the sun set and at full dark. We would highly recommend this tour!
It was a wonderful tour. Our guide was very interesting and knowledgeable.
Great tour! It was fun and engaging. I only had a short time in DC so it was a great way to pack in a lot in a brief time. Our guide DJ was so knowledgeable and fun. Great experience!
We really enjoyed Reggie on tour. He did an excellent job. I had expected to have more time to actually see the memorials up close. Hence, the 4 stars.
Excellent must do tour, monuments are stunning in the evening. If you love photography this tour provides the perfect opportunity to capture some magnificent memorable moments. A great and fun way to visit the monuments with a knowledgeable fun tour guide. If the evening is cold, nice cozy blankets are provided. This tour makes a perfect evening
This tour was a fantastic way to see the monuments quickly and as a bonus - lit up at night. Many people booked this tour, but the group was broken up into small carts of 7-8 max. The small group format was a much better experience than all the mega bus tours we saw at a few of our stops. It was a chilly March night - the tour includes warm blankets to help keep your warm while zipping around the city. Our tour guide was Dr Ed. He was very knowledgeable, nice, and ready to answer our questions and make recommendations for the rest of our stay.
