So much fun! The guide was the sweetest and super knowledgable. It was a great way to kick-off our stay in DC. We were able to get a quick glimpse of all the important stuff and make our way back to each one over the course of our visit. We also snagged a few views of things for our next trip. The team on the ground was really organized and easy to chat with too!

The busses only book enough so everyone has a seat on the top, they passed out new headphones to listen to the informational tour guide, and we got to stop and get off the bus at the Lincoln Memorial for 20 minutes (and a bathroom break). The staff was friendly and the night tour was a beautiful way to experience the monuments. Highly recommended!

It was good, I guess I expected to see more and some attractions were too dark to even see. Would have thought there would be more lighted attractions and Was attacked by a tree branch once and then almost a couple other times , but overall it was still interesting the parts we could hear. The sound kept going in and out and I don’t think it was totally worth the $72.
