Small Group National Mall Night Tour with 10 Top Attractions

Todd_B, Apr 2026

DC tour at night very enjoyable

Dean is a relatable guide who knows a lot about D.C. and its history. The tour is well paced and fairly inclusive. Traffic stops due to recent White House Easter Egg Roll caused him to change sequence of the tour. Consequently, we stopped at Korean War Memorial before it was dark. 15 years ago I was there at night and knew how more moving it is lit up in dark. We commented that we planned to go back another night to catch that ambience. At the end, he took us back on his own kind accord. We highly recommend this tour and Dean.

Washington DC Sightseeing Tour by Electric cart or Vintage Car

Ann_L, Apr 2026

What a great experience!

We were only in town for a day and wanted to see as much as we could. This was a great experience for everyone in our group. We had an elderly person and children in our group. Everyone enjoyed this tour. We learned a lot and got some awesome photos. There was also a lot going on in the city like a parade and festivals. Several roads were closed down. Our tour guide did great on a whim, making sure we got to see everything even with all of the road closures. He was also apologetic for taking a bit longer to get to some places with the road closures. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything in the area, giving us fun facts and historical information. He even made recommendations for other places to visit, places to eat, and the best ways to travel through the city. We had a great time and if I come back I would do this tour again. Very happy with our experience.

Lorenzo provided an exceptional tour; he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly respectful. Before heading to the tour, he took the time to introduce himself and personally greet everyone in our group. Throughout the tour, he offered a deep insight and ensuring the experience remained interactive by answering all our questions and addressing our specific interests. I highly recommend his services.

Capitol Hill, Supreme Court & Library of Congress Exclusive Tour

Elizabeth_B, Mar 2026

Excellent Tour, Exceptional Customer Service

Rebecca was an amazing guide and offered wonderful insights and well-timed humor throughout our tour. Because of the time of our visit, with spring break and so many school group visits, the entry lines for the Capitol, Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court were especially long. Babylon Tours extended a partial refund after our tour. I was so impressed with the superior customer service and communication. We will absolutely use this tour guide and group again when we return to DC!

Capitol Hill & Library of Congress Highlights Walking Tour (With Tickets)

Marian_B, Mar 2026

Last minute booking leads to lasting impression

Due to some unexpected weather and museum closures our planned itinerary became askew. Trying to find a last minute alternative was proving difficult because everything seemed to be booked up, so I purchased this tour last minute. So glad we did! Trying to see the Library of Congress, including the reading room plus the Capital would take a lot more time if I was trying to do it on my own. Our guide, Vicky knew exactly how to maximize our time to see the most things. Even as we stood inline she was pointing out points of interest. Could I have done this on my own- no because all the free tickets had been allocated, but even if I had been able to secure tickets, it would’ve taken us twice as long because I wouldn’t have known when to stand in line and what to do once I got inside. So thankful for Vicky’s guidance.

Fantastic night tour of Washington Monuments

Best way to see all the monuments without so much walking and especially when you are limited on time. Our guide Khalid was exceptional and so knowledgeable. Everything was so nice and tailored to our group with plenty of time to see everything without feeling so rushed. I would recommend over and over again to do this tour.

Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour

Larissa_P, Dec 2025

Great food tour, interesting neighborhood

Georgetown is a lively neighborhood with interesting fun facts. We went to 4 different places and had a good amount of food. Personally for me the highlight was a plant based restaurant. It was an unexpected surprise and the food was great. Our guide Christian grew up in the area and has a vast knowledge about the neighborhood history. The tour was slow paced, which allowed us to see points of interest along the way.

Washington DC Sites at Night Guided Bicycle Tour

Great family activity

We loved this tour! All my five kids ages 15-4 had a great time. The 4 year old rode on an attachment bike behind my husband and she loved it! We did it at night and it was the best time to see all the monuments lite up. Abby was awesome and gave a brief but educational explanation of all the monuments and then let us walk around. I would tell everyone to book this tour. It’s 3 hours so eat before but the route was so easy and flat/doable for any age or biking level.

Perfect family day with coverage of DC

We had a wonderful tour with Derrick + Tony! We covered so much space and information in our 4 hours. The fun facts kept the attention of our kids and the humor was perfect for the adults! It was a great mix of driving and walking - the pace was also just right for our group! The AC bus and waters were so helpful with the hot weather! We would absolutely do this again!

Washington DC Monuments Bike Tour

West_M, Jul 2025

Biking Tour with Biking Unlimited

This biking tour was absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend doing this tour especially if it is your first time visiting the National Mall in D.C. The tour lasts for about 3 hours and you stop at various monuments and memorials along the way for photos and to explore. Each stop lasts about 10 to 20 minutes and the tour guide gives you info about the stop before giving you time to explore and take pictures. On my tour we stopped at these places on the National Mall: Washington Monument, South Lawn of White House, World War 2 Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and Jefferson Memorial. My tour guide from Unlimited Biking was Tim. Great tour guide. If you get him, he will give you a great tour. Make sure to leave him a good review. He also accepts tips as well.
