Quick and easy - Perfect for me. I was in town on business and had very little time to explore. This tour got me to all of the sites quickly. I wish I could have spent more time at the monuments but it’s hard to fit in so many. For people like me who are in town for only a couple days, this is perfect.

PhotoBombing around DC - Derick was very knowledgeable, he has a great sense of humor and made everyone part of the fun. We came to DC for the first time and needed a good high level view of the sights.

Amazing small group tour - Anne Marie was a wonderful guide and extremely knowledgeable. With the tour starting at 7:00 it’s not dark yet. So she did the tour in reverse so that the best places were lit up when we arrived at them because it was dark at that point. Would highly recommend taking this small group tour.

Beautiful Evening Event! - Steve was such a great tour guide! I felt like he really balanced allowing our group to have time on our own to explore at each of the monuments and not rushing us. I highly recommend an evening tour if you are traveling to DC. The monuments at night are just spectacular.
