Great Family Ezperience! - We had a party of 7 (4 adults, 1 teen and 2 kids). The open air feel was perfect, great night. I have done many bus tours but the open top was worth it. Our driver and Elvis were great. We enjoyed seeing all the sites. Some walking required. Highly recommend!

DC Bucket List - Seeing the monuments and memorials on the DC night tour was amazing. Definitely a must do when in DC. Elvis, our guide was very informative. Note: There is lots of walking and stair climbing when visiting each site.

DC at Night - enjoyed having such a knowledgeable tour guide. It was obvious he knew his stuff and was very friendly. Pointing out details as we went that most likely I wouldn't have known about without a tour guide.

Outstanding! - Rafael our tour guide was great. A native DC guy he shared a lot of factual historical information and mixed in personal history about the recent evolution of the city and monuments. Tyrone our driver was great took us to all the famous monuments including crossing the Potomac to Iwo Jima and Arlington national cemetery in Virginia. The convertible van was awesome. Highly recommend this tour

Worth it - Tour guide Rob and driver Shawn were wonderful. So nice. It was a little hard to hear Rob sometimes. And getting home after the tour was a little difficult. The monuments we saw were amazing and the information shared on them was well thought out and valuable.

Disappointed - We had a party of five, paid over $500 for the open air tour of the monuments at night. Before the tour it had rained but by the time of our tour, the rain was over. The van next to us with the same company same tour took the windows off. When I asked the driver if we were taking the windows off she said “no ma’am! The windows are too hard to get off!” What!?!? While every other vehicle around us enjoyed a beautiful evening tour of the monuments, we were stuck on a stuffy bus. I did think the monuments were beautiful at night but there are a lot of other options that may gaurentee the open air experience that you pay for!

Disappointed - You are paying extra for the open top vehicle, that’s why you go with this tour. If there is one raindrop they have the option to not take the top off. The vehicle right beside us from the same company took their top off. When I asked the driver if we would be taking the top off she said “NO MAM!! It is too hard to take off!” What?!?!?!? The evening was beautiful (it was not raining during our tour time, it had rained beforehand but had stopped and actually made the evening weather amazing.) We were enclosed in a stuffy vehicle watching all the others around us with open air vehicles. The decision is apparently up to the driver and she seemed “put out” that we even asked. We had a family of 5 so paid over $500 for this experience! The monuments are beautiful at night but there are many other options that would gaurentee an open air experience.
