We had an incredible experience on the Moonlight Monuments Tour! Our guide, Dean, was phenomenal. He is incredibly knowledgeable and his genuine passion for history shone through in every story he shared.The absolute highlight for me was visiting the WWII Memorial and the MLK Memorial. I had never seen either of them before, and viewing the former beautifully illuminated at night was truly unforgettable. The tour offers great value for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Michael_L, Jul 2026
Steve was awesome and very knowledgable. We learned a lot on the tour. We had already went to most of the stops in the day. However night views were amazing. Pickup was easy to find. Van was comfortable and very clean. I would highly recommend this tour.
Catherine_P, Jul 2026
It was great - despite the pouring rain that came. Our driver was so knowledgeable and great conversation. He had umbrellas for all and though it poured - we made the best of it!!
Linda_M, Jul 2026
Nice small group size and seeing the monuments all lite up at night is a must do!
Beautiful experience! Kevin, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did an incredible job!
Barbara_G, Jul 2026
Top notch experience! All members of our family (including an 11 and 8 year old) had a wonderful time. This tour was recommended by a friend, and it lived up to their excellent experience.
Kathleen_H, Jul 2026
We were given so much interesting information that we never would have known without doing this tour. I highly recommend doing this particular tour. A smaller group moves around much easier,
Lorie_W, Jul 2026
I really really enjoyed this tour, you don't realize how beautiful things look at the monuments until you see their wonderful lighting against the night sky ....it's a completely different experience from seeing them during the day it was really really worth it !!!! Just beautiful
wanda_w, Jul 2026
Very informative and flexible when barriers were in our way. Rich was attentive to mobility limits. He did his best to get the best view of sites.
Jessica_F, Jun 2026
Dean was very knowledgeable. We learned so much about each landmark we passed by and visited. What a great way to kick off our DC experience!
Betty_P, Jun 2026
Despite the lousy weather, Dean did a great job getting us to the Memorials and offered us the opportunity to get out and snap some wonderful pictures. He really knew what he was talking about and really seemed to like his job.
Vicky_M, Jun 2026
The driver was very hospitable and knowledgeable . He took us to each of the cites we expected to see and talked along the way with historical backgrounds on what we were seeing. Then he got us as close as he could to each one, and most of them we got to get out and walk around and photograph. Delightful.
Adam_G, Jun 2026
This tour provides a way to see all of the big monuments in a short amount of time. Our guide, Rich, was very knowledgeable and communicated very well. The timing and pace of the tour is excellent.
Katie_G, Jun 2026
Rich was an outstanding tour guide during our trip to Washington, D.C. His knowledge of the city's history, landmarks, and hidden gems made every stop both interesting and memorable. He was engaging, personable, and always willing to answer questions, making sure everyone felt included and informed throughout the tour.
What truly set Rich apart was how much he genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience. At the end of a long day, he went out of his way to make an extra stop so we could see the iconic White House at night. It was a special moment that many of us will never forget, and it showed his dedication to ensuring our group experienced the very best of Washington, D.C. Rich's enthusiasm, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile made our trip exceptional.
Jean_B, May 2026
Excellent experience with Rich, very knowledgeable, interesting and fun! Highly recommend booking, you won’t regret!
Laura_P, May 2026
Fantastic. Best way to see major sights quick and easy. Dean was terrific! Why do I need 100 characters to finish review? Confuses people.
Lucie_B, May 2026
Loved seeing DC at night. Our tour guide went beyond by dropping me and my girlfriend off at our hotel!! So grateful for his knowledge and kindness.
Jay_S, May 2026
Really fun; guide was nice and knowledgeable.
Small group setting which I liked. Was able to see several places. Really a cool experience at night.
Paul_V, May 2026
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!
