Jordan_E, Jul 2026

Great night tour!

We had an amazing experience on our DC Night Monuments Tour, and Camrin made it unforgettable! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history behind each monument and shared interesting facts and stories that brought everything to life. Beyond being a fantastic guide, Camrin was also very chivalrous, thoughtful, and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable throughout the tour. His enthusiasm and professionalism really stood out and made the entire evening enjoyable. If you’re looking for a memorable way to see Washington, DC at night, I highly recommend this tour—and if you get Camrin as your guide, you’re in for a great experience!

It was awesome! Our tour...

It was awesome! Our tour guide was a DC native who told us a lot about what we were seeing. I use a cane and had difficulty getting in and out of the vehicle and walking but she was extremely helpful. She was attentive to all passengers. She even took us to our hotel. The tour was fantastic. I highly recommend it!!

This was by far the...

This was by far the favorite part of our trip. Our guide, Liam, was extremely knowledgeable and we loved having a smaller group so we could ask questions. The tour was 3 hours long before getting to the Capitol and the time flew by. I walked away learning so much and have shared this experience with many people we know who have upcoming travels to DC. I would HIGHLY recommend booking this tour!

Liked the Tour

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.

Outstanding Evening Tour

Dwayne and Tonya were absolutely incredible tour guides. They both took such good care of us and made sure we packed in the most sights we could. Dwayne’s knowledge and enthusiasm was incredible. His crowd management, education, and commitment to his craft was outstanding. You can tell these two folks take pride in their work and I found myself constantly in awe throughout the whole tour. Thank you so much.

The National Park Service...

The National Park Service issues Entry / Ticket for FREE, but you they apparently get grabbed up as soon as they release them. The Tickets I received from Viator were $20 each and to me was well worth the price. We were able to get in earlier than our scheduled entry time. The Park Rangers were very professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend spending the $20 than the other options I found on being able to enter in a timely manner,

Great Way to See DC Monuments

This was a great tour. It stopped at most of the notable monuments with enough time to see each. Joey & Omar were an excellent driver & guide. While driving from one stop to another Joey gave very interesting commentary on what we were seeing, etc. The Potomac cruise was an added bonus. My only concern was the last stop (FDR Memorial) seemed a bit rushed. It was hot & the last stop so perhaps that is the reason. All the other stops allowed plenty of time. Overall, an excellent tour.

Amazing Tour in DC

If you want to see Washington DC, this is an amazing way to see it. You get one on one tutorial of the history and current happenings in the city. I am here several times a year and still learned tidbits from the tour. Jessica was our guide and she worked well with our family. I am in DC several times each year and thought I knew a lot of the city. I learned several things as well as my grandson.

Cruise too!

The boat cruise on the Potomac loading/unloading in Georgetown was unique/different on this tour. It was near the end of the tour (started at 10am) and allowed us to get lunch in Georgetown (late lunch, 1:45ish), and boat offers beer/wine and was relaxing (we couldn't hear speaker but didn't care). Our tour guide had degree in History and that was really awesome. Chris (driver) and Sally (tour guide) were great! Recommend!

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.

A title? The fundamentals of Washington DC!

The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. She shared so many details and added exponentially to what I thought. I already knew. She was able to navigate through the busy streets effortlessly and I felt safe. She was also kind of enough to take pictures of me at the various landmarks.
