A great DC tour by Heart of DC tours - My wife and I were celebrating our 50th anniversary and decided to go to Washington, D.C. to relax and enjoy our nation's history. Although we've visited D.C. numerous times in the post, we wanted to see D.C. lit up in the evening. We booked with Heart of DC tours and it was a great decision on our part. The owner Ken is also the tour guide/driver. You can tell that Ken takes pride in his presentation of DC. As a history major, I could tell Ken knew his stuff and had a pleasant way of telling "the stories of the local history". Ken took great care of his guest by ensuring everyone's safety and comfort. He even dropped us off at a Metro station at the end of the tour. If you're looking for a great DC tour, then I would highly recommend Ken's company, Hearts of DC tours - you can't go wrong. Thanks, Ken, for the tour. Dave and Dottie

Breathtaking and magical - Ken was such a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. Ken said he’s been living in DC since 1969, so he knows his stuff. It’s a small group tour that gives you a more personal experience. Also helpful was the QR code he provides so you can scan listen to a narration of the monument’s on your phone while you explore and take pictures. Ken is a small businessman and please support him, his tour won’t disappoint.

Great tour. - Great tour. Driver/owner makes it wonderful. So wonderful in helping the woman from the van. Even provided flashlights. The monuments are not lighted well. Be careful.

Great tour! - We had a great time on this night tour! Ken was so organized, knowledgeable, and thoughtful (it was below freezing when our tour finished and he kept the van running until our Lyft arrived). I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a taste of DC history. Thank you, Ken!

Great tour! - This is a great introduction to the major sites in DC. We really appreciated Ken’s knowledge of the historical landmarks. The night tour is a nice option because there were less people visiting in the evening. It also helps to identify locations you may want to go back to during the day and spend more time. Overall, this was a good value tour

Go with Ken! - Ken is knowledgeable and laid back. We had time to look at everything without feeling rushed. And he gave us a ride back to our hotel, saving us an Uber wait and cost on a cold night!

Wow! Highly recommend! - Okay seriously. Best tour experience ever. I would highly recommend this tour of the monuments. We went on the night tour and were so impressed with Ken and his accommodations. The van was comfortable and warm, and Ken was thoughtful and knowledgeable. We were nervous beforehand about how cold it would be in December at night, and the experience was fabulous! Highly recommend!
