Must do a night tour in DC

Dwayne our guide was fabulous. He was passionate and a wealth of knowledge. This tour is a must. There is nothing like seeing the monuments at night. You have time to get out for photos at least 6 times. Highly recommend. We last did this tour 28 years ago.

Jan_K, Sept 2026

Great tour with Ryan and lots of history facts.

We had a great time. Ryan is an outstanding tour guide who had all the answers to our many questions. He wasn't political about anything during our entire tour, a rare thing I've found here in Washington DC. Ryan taught us many facts about the Supreme Court and the Capitol building. I enjoyed seeing the statues and the old senate chambers. The Court was closed because the judges were inside working.

Fascinating and fun experience!

It was a great experience and fun adventure. Definitely better to see some of these monuments at night with the special lighting. Definitely less crowds and commotion. The weather was beautiful and traffic was not bad. Our Guide was gracious and had a lot of knowledge in history. She gave us enough time at scheduled stops to snap photos and made recommendations. I would definitely recommend to sightseeing visitors. Washington, DC is quite inspirational and gave me a better idea at how historical this place is. Rated this experience, Five Stars *****

Nolan_B, Sept 2026

I had Wayne and my guide...

I had Wayne and my guide and he was delightful. Very knowledgeable and full of additional info not necessarily related to the tour itself, but places we happened by along the way. He made it very fun and I had a great time. There is a fair amount of walking so make sure you're up on your caridio, but other than that it was a very fun tour. If ever I'm in the area again, I'd love to do another one of Wayne's tours.

Exceptional Tour

Our tour guide was Evelyn with Unscripted Tours. Evelyn was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun to spend time with! She knew the Capitol rotunda would be closing, so she hustled us in for the last tour in the early afternoon. She also got us tickets to the house chamber where we saw two bills pass. In the Library of Congress she explained the sculptures, murals and mosaics on the walls and ceiling. She also told us so much US history and we learned so much from her.

Ask for Maurice!

The tour was great and Maurice was the best guide. They used the full time and we saw so many parts of the city while getting some time at a few spots to walk around and take photos.

Ask for Byron the Entertainer

Our tour guide Byron the Entertainer made it so fun even though it was 90 degrees. I felt like we were the lucky ones for getting him as our guide. The tour included lots of jokes, sing-alongs and fun stories and was great for our family with young kids. Byron kept it light. The tour is a great way to see a lot of DC quickly and enjoy the sites at night.
