Highlights
See a different side of Washington DC after dark on a guided night tour of the city's floodlit monuments. This tour runs on our standard enclosed coach — or you can upgrade at booking to our small-group convertible (open-top in warm months, glass-top in winter) for fresh air and unobstructed views. Choose your vehicle in the booking options below. You’ll begin the tour at the U.S. Navy Memorial, then board the bus and settle in before heading off to iconic attractions, including the White House, the Korean War Memorial, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. After dark, each monument and building takes on a dramatic glow. Stronger verb, no repeat. Hop off the bus and explore the memorials with your guide, taking advantage of multiple photo opportunities. The full glittering sweep of the National Mall can be seen at the start and end of your tour, including the twinkling Tidal Basin and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

5Great tour- DC beautiful at night!
There is nothing like seeing the monuments at night. It was awesome, nice pics, excellent tour guide and comfortable bus
5Do it!
Buzz and Sylvia are fantastic! Great way to see the monuments without the crowd! Got some good pics and a stress free experience.
4A bit too chatty
The locations we visited were great. The monuments and sights across DC are lit up and pretty to see at night. Our tour guide was very chatty and rambled at times.
5Friday the 13th or Dion Sanders
Came out to DC during the holiday weekend and decided at the last minute to find an evening tour as we wanted to see the views at night compared to day. We got lucky there were a few spots left on 1 of the buses. We got lucky again when our tour guide was Dione. He and Sylvia (driver) worked well together to provide a most educational 3 hour tour. We enjoyed hearing all about "13" everywhere, WYKYK. Would definitely take another night tour with Dione, or maybe all your guides are this well versed?
5You won't regret it
We had the best, knowledgeable crew! It was so easy, very entertaining, and we learned do much! We had so much fun and would do it again.
5Loved our tour guide -...
Loved our tour guide - Rob who was a lifelong resident and provided so much insight into the city as well as the sites visited. For a night tour the amount of time spent at each site was timed perfectly for the tour.
