A great way to see all the significant sites. Comfortable ride, plenty of time to stop and view and take photos. Most of all, a terrific guide. Amanda was fun, relaxed, interesting and eager to show us around. Great evening out (even in the heat) with the family. Our daughters said it was their favorite part of the day!

This was a great experience. We stopped at the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and MLK Memorial with time to walk around and take pictures. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. The open air vehicle was great in the heat as it cooled us down as we drove around. Highly recommend.

A must-do!

Diane_N, Aug 2026
Such a fun and simple way to see the beauty of DC and the monuments by moonlight! The experience was seamless and well done Would highly recommend!

Nice way to see several monuments.

Polly_N, Aug 2026
Enjoyable trip and our guide was super friendly but there are several photo opportunities that seem to be zipped on by that are not "monuments" to speak of. We had great weather so it made it very pleasant during tge ride. Its an easy way to see several monuments without tge walk.

Best way to see the monuments

Hayley_U, Aug 2026
Such a great experience! Amazing way to see the monuments and not get sooo tired walking to them all. Our guide, Peter, was so knowledgeable about literally everything. Loved hearing the history of some the oldest places in our country with a personal touch. And we had ample time to get out and see the monuments instead of just driving past.

Fascinating tour,...

Jennifer_R, Aug 2026
Loved this experience. Small group was really nice. Great way to get around DC vs big bus tour. Our guide was great. Easy to fine meeting location.

Informative and picturesque.

Kenneth_F, Aug 2026
Very knowledgeable tour guide and selection of sites for an evening of charming views and informative content about our nation’s history and relevance. Driver safety was paramount.

False advertising - do NOT book this tour

Scott_S, Aug 2026
The tour is fine BUT do not book this expecting to be in the vehicle shown. I was in a basic red golf cart — NOT the vintage vehicle shown. Clearly deliberate FALSE ADVERTISING and really upsetting when I’d promised my kid a tour around DC in a vintage car. They’re con men who deliberately mislead for profit. Book an actual vintage tour NOT one from this company.

Backward seats aren’t great

Jennifer_C, Aug 2026
First, driver was awesome!! Lots of details and extra bits. You could tell he loved sharing the city with us. The drawback for me and the reduction in stars is bc we were seated backward. Because of this we were full sun most of the 2 hours which is unfortunate. The fast parts were better bc of the breeze of course. I think we should have been made aware of this possibility. In my case, having my elderly mom made this a lot more challenging. The driver did often remind us that the buildings he was speaking about would be on the opposite side. Overall I would not go again if this was a known factor unless I was sitting forward.

Family fun

Liked the Tour

Judith_S, Jul 2026
If you are short on time, this tour takes you around to the Memorials around the Washington Monument and close to most near the Mall area. You get to walk up to the Lincoln Memorial. Was disappointed we couldn't do same for Jefferson Memorial. Got as close to the Capitol as is allowed. Was a pleasant tour and fit right into our time constraints.
