Excellent experience. Driver (Rich) was very knowledgeable and communicated well. He was extremely friendly and answered all our questions. He was also open to our input regarding what we were most interested in doing and seeing.
Denise_F, May 2026
Rich was amazing. The tour and stops were great and Rich made it even more special. His history and stories made it come alive. His care for the passengers safety and enjoyment was obvious. This company cares for our experience. 5 star all the way.
Marcel_S, Apr 2026
We were only 4 person in the tour - perfect!
We saw so much in this “short” time (3,5 hours)
Our guide (Dean) was amazing - he could give an answer to every question
Hollie_D, Apr 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed this guided tour! Rich was an awesome guide… super knowledgeable and fun. Definitely highly recommend this! Seeing these monuments at night is a must.
Cheree_A, Apr 2026
This is a wonderful way to see the monuments at night. You get a whole different perspective of them than during the day. Daniel was our guide and he was full of great information about not only the monuments but the area. I would highly recommend this tour as well as Daniel.
Leonard_D, Apr 2026
Dean, our tour guide was exceptional. His knowledge of history is priceless You experience Washinton in 3 hours
Todd_B, Apr 2026
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.
Todd_S, Apr 2026
Wonderful tour of the monuments. Guide was amazing. Very informative and fun. Got us right in close to all the spots. Perfect amount of time at each spot.
Barbara_K, Apr 2026
We booked this tour to get an overview of the city and to see the monuments at night. Mr. Daniel was entertaining and very knowledgable. We would highly recommend this tour!
Joyce_S, Apr 2026
Daniel was really informative and allotted enough time to take in the sights at each stop. I would definitely take this trip if I wanted to see D.C. at night with the monuments lit up. The van was comfortable with easy in/easy out access, especially for my husband who has mobility issues.
Angela_T, Apr 2026
Excellent small tour. Our guide, Kyvin, was great. He pointed out to us all the sites and made sure we had plenty of time at the stops which included the capital, the WW2, Jefferson, MLK Jr, and the big three (Lincoln, Korean, and Vietnam). Highly recommend and my kids said Kyvin and the tour was 5 stars!
Patricia_N, Apr 2026
Glad I was with a small group instead of a huge bus! Kyven was a knowledgeable guide who made the evening enjoyable.
Carolina_A, Mar 2026
Our guide Kyven was great! He was super knowledgeable about the history of the city and the monuments, and he was able to maneuver around all the traffic that comes with cherry blossom season. We accidentally left our jacket and they went above and beyond to drop it off for us the next day. Would definitely recommend this tour to first time visitors!
Elizabeth_D, Mar 2026
Daniel was a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful. Our group of six enjoyed the experience very much much. We highly recommend!
Robert_C, Mar 2026
Awesome tour seeing the monuments at night! Very knowledgeable tour guide. Very comfortable van. Daniel was Great!
Curtis_K, Mar 2026
This was a great way to see so many monuments without spending all day and all of your energy to do so.
LaShone_O, Mar 2026
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a wealth of fascinating facts about the monuments and historical sites. It was an educational and engaging experience overall. My only critique is that the guide shared some personal political opinions that felt out of place; I would have preferred to stay focused on the history. Aside from that, it was a great tour.
Kathy_S, Mar 2026
Great host- entertaining. They had phone chargers in the van! Very personal & informative. Was a great small group not too big.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks Kathy for the great review!
Safe travels!
Dianne_S, Mar 2026
Great time learning some history we did not know. Good stops and length of time. Having water and phone plug ins was a plus. When he strayed into personal opinions on politics, that was in appropriate!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback!
We’re so glad to hear you had a great time and enjoyed learning new history, as well as the thoughtfully planned stops and amenities like water and phone charging.
We also truly appreciate you bringing the concern about political commentary to our attention. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure tours remain focused, inclusive, and enjoyable for all guests.
Thank you again for joining us—we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
JackiZommers, Mar 2026
A great way to see the busy DC sights with no crowds. I was traveling alone and this was a great way to spend the night. Kyven, being a teacher during the day, is a perfect guide to drive you around the top sites and give you some history behind it all. And with no crowds you can take as many selfies as you want
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you, Jacki!
We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed touring with Kyven and were able to capture lots of great selfies! Our Small Group Tours are a fantastic option when traveling solo.
Thanks again!
John_D, Mar 2026
This is the 100% way to go to see virtually all the major Washington DC landmarks/monuments in a short amount of time. Rick, who was our driver and tour guide, did an outstanding job with providing interesting background information with concise and detailed recommendations for our small group. If you are looking to make the most out of a short trip to DC, this is the tour for you!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you, John!
We’re so glad to hear that you loved our Small Group Night Tour!
Safe travels!
Anthony_M, Feb 2026
Dean and Michelle were great. The weather for our tour was not the nicest but the two of them made sure we had umbrellas and made sure we made it safely to where we needed to go. Got to see the monuments with almost no one else around. Weather was cold but the tour guides made it warm and inviting. Will definitely utilize them again when I come back to DC.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much, Anthony!
We’re thrilled to hear that even though it was cold you still had an amazing time on the Small Group National Mall Night Tour!
We truly appreciate you joining us and hope that you come back soon!
Shelby_A, Feb 2026

Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much, Shelby!
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your Small Group Night Tour with Dean. Let us know when you come back to DC for another tour!
Safe travels!
Nancy_C, Feb 2026
Great guided tour of DC at night. I was so impressed with Dean’s knowledge. He was a great guide. There was some walking but not heavy.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much, Nancy!
We’re thrilled you enjoyed exploring DC at night with us and that you had a great experience on the tour. It means a lot to hear that!
Safe travels, and we hope to see you back in Washington DC again soon!
Mary_M, Feb 2026
Wonderfully informative.
Dean was funny, smart and looked like a mad scientist said my granddaughter!
Was very kind and helpful.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much, Mary!
We absolutely love this! We may have to officially add “Resident Mad Scientist of DC History” to Dean’s title. His deep knowledge of the city definitely makes the monuments come alive in the most unforgettable way!
We’re so glad he made the tour informative, fun, and memorable for you and your granddaughter. We’ll be sure to share this with him — it might become his new favorite nickname.
Hope to see you both back in DC for another adventure soon!
Dori_T, Jan 2026

Had a brilliant tour of the monuments this evening. Dean was a courteous and informative guide and we were so lucky to see the light installation and fireworks at the Washington monument during the tour tonight.

Rene_F, Dec 2025
You might want to tell that it means a good amount of walking - 10 000 steps. If people cannot walk - it's not the tour for them.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for the feedback. I think you might have been on a different tour that required that much walking, with our Vans taking us to the different sites we reduce the amount of walking as much as possible, and we hear from guests all the time on our tours about the amount of walking they do on some of the other tours.
