So Pleased We Chose This Tour

David_V, Apr 2026
David the Tour Guide and Robbin the Driver were tops in all aspects from pickup to drop off at our hotel. They provided great information, lights making it easy to stay in our group of 18, snacks and water. Top Class from beginning to end. Thanks for a lovely evening and amazing memories.

Safety was not a concern

susan_s, Apr 2026
The guide did not warn the group of how dark all the monuments were and to be very very aware of all the steps/ stairs . One senior gentleman took a horrific fall at the monument in Arlington. The tour guide should have had a large flashlight and stood at these steps/ stairs at each monument we viewed by foot to offer reminder to be careful and shine a light to safeguard her group! Additionally , the last step off the bus was really narrow and again , no reference to being aware of falling as the step was shakey and not lit up! Very negligent . The guide was informative but could not answer some of the questions being asked. Viator called me today to ask about our experience and I told them what we thought honestly . The company did not offer an apology and told me ,"he hopes we enjoy more tours with them"! I don't get the feeling he truly understood our concerns and cared about addressing anything .

Fun tour with a difference

Lot of fun and very different at night. Loved the water and snacks and the neon bracelet. Guide was wonderful and knowledgeable

Awesome Experience!

Jessie_C, Jul 2025
thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Experiencing the White House, the Capitol, and various monuments illuminated at night was truly breathtaking. The tour utilized advanced audio-visual technology, including Bluetooth earpieces that made it easy to hear our guide's insightful commentary about the monuments and the buildings we passed. The LED bracelets were a great help when I wandered off for a quick photo, allowing me to easily spot my group. It was also convenient not to worry about bringing water or snacks, as they were provided. If you're considering a night tour with DC nation, go for it—you won't regret it!

Well-Thought-Out Tour

lesleemiera, Jul 2025
Everything about this tour just made sense. While the monument stops are similar to other tours, there are a few things that made my family choose this particular tour: 1) They offer pick-up and drop-off if you are staying at a downtown hotel which makes this very convenient; 2) Bottled water and SNACKS were provided! Other tour companies only offer bottled water. Even if you've had your dinner already, by the middle of the tour, you would definitely start getting hungry again and the snacks were a relief; 3) The LED lights were a great idea! From a safety perspective, this made a whole lot of sense in trying to locate members of the tour group at night. Great job guys!

Fun night!

Kellie_D, Jul 2025
This was a great tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Driver was awesome as well. I love that they can pick you up at certain hotels. Snacks and water is included. Bus is very comfy and ac was nice and cold. Great time! Highly recommend!

Highly recommended!!!

Stacy_S, Jul 2025
This is the perfect tour for anyone who wants to see every major sight in DC all in one go. You get ample time to explore every monument. I had my 8 and 11 year-olds with me and they loved it. We did not feel rushed. The guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. The nighttime element is very cool. I would highly recommend it.

Great night experience

Daniella_S, Mar 2025
We love the experience visiting all the monuments at night! For this time of the year that the city is super busy, it was ideal! Paul was amazing and really knowledgeable, very nice and approachable!

Night life.

Wanda_P, Nov 2024
Despite the rain the tour was wonderful. So glad we did it at night. Information that was provided was outstanding.

Best DC Evening Tour!

barb_b, Oct 2024
Both the driver and the tour guide were super knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and entertaining! We highly recommend this tour!

Great way to see DC sights

Stephanie_m, Oct 2024
Knowledgeable and engaging guide. Lots of historical information making the tour enjoyable. Due to street. Closure we couldn’t see White House as expected but our guide gave us other viewpoints to take pics

A great way to see DC

Dana_F, Sep 2024
I'm very glad we booked this night tour of DC, and even more glad that we got Paul and Dwight to show us around. Paul is a kind and gentle man with a great knowledge of the historical sites of DC. Dwight is an experienced DC driver of over 26 years. Together they really provided a very nice atmosphere in which to see DC. We enjoyed each stop and I was grateful that we were able to see so many monuments in that three hour time frame. Thank you both so much!

One heck of an experience!!!!!

Anita_T, Jul 2024
Dwight and Dave were absolutely terrific. Between their driving skills and historic knowledge made the night tour a huge success and definitely memorable! I truly believe it was worth every penny spent so I’m appreciative from what I learned to what I saw. It was once of a lifetime experience!

The best nighttime bus tour

Dia_K, Jul 2024
Excellent information. Clear communication. Loved using the ear pieces to communicate with Dave. Great visibility with the LED arm bands so I never felt lost.

Worth every penny

Micha_W, Jul 2024
Dwight and Dave (the double D’s) were fabulous! I love the earphone boxes and the wristbands - they really helped! I have been on many tours where I can not hear the guide, or am so concentrated on “staying with the group” that I miss pieces of the tour. Thank you!!!

Tour Guide David was excellent !

Johnnie_L, Jun 2024
Our tour guide talked the entire time not only at the stops, but commentary on nearly every building we passed. He has all kinds of facts to share about our wonderful Capitol.

Had the best time

Genean_M, Jun 2024
This tour was awesome! Our tour guides were knowledgeable and very entertaining. We were able to explore on our own at each stop. Washington is very beautiful at night?

Keep up the good work everything y’all did was appreciated

Delia_B, Jun 2024
👍🏽🎂 we had such a great time not just with our group, but the driver was an excellent driver. Our guide was so knowledgeable so many stories that he shared with us. We really appreciated their services. Y’all continue to do a great job. We will definitely recommend to anyone that has plans on visiting Washington DC.

Family Fun

Ashley_H, Jun 2024
David was great! There was a hiccup but the owner made it right. They provide snacks and drinks. It was fun and interesting.

Highlight of our trip!

Daniel_M, May 2024
Absolutely the best tour. This was a highlight of our trip and will definitely recommend it to everyone we know.

LED Night Tour

hockeyndancex2, Mar 2024
Craig was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. The stops were great. Jose, the driver, did a great job navigating. Excellent tour!!! The LED bracelets made it very easy to keep track of your group among many other groups. And the ear buds were great to be able hear all of the history. Definitely would do this tour again!!!!!!

Seeing the monuments at...

Patricia_S, Mar 2024
Seeing the monuments at night was memorable. I learned a lot from the tour and José and Paul were most courteous and informative. Thank you for a great evening.

Great night tour

Cynthia_K, Jul 2023
Great service, hotel pick up and drop off, water, snacks, family owned business. Clean mini bus, which allowed for a smaller group to have a more intimate conversation about the sites. Knowledgeable guide and driver, headsets that allowed all to hear all the commentary. Would recommend this to anyone!

Over promised, under delivered

Chelsey_L, Apr 2022
I want to start off by saying if this tour was solely based on the guide (we had Steve) then I would give it 5 stars. Sadly, the tour description promised so much more beyond a knowledgeable guide. 1) NO Earpieces. Our guide spoke loud enough but the purpose was to be able to walk around while listening, and obviously that was not possible 2) NO LED bracelets. Our group was only made up of 9 people but still, there were sooooo many people at the monuments Easter weekend and as it gets dark, it gets harder to find your people. 3) NO Gingerbread cookie at the Lincoln Memorial. As a history lover, I was really excited for this unique piece of the tour and our guide had no idea it was even offered to us. Major bummer. 4)The order of the tour was incorrect which isn't the end of the world, but I do not recall stopping at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at all, and because it wasn't well lit, we didn't stop at the US Marine Corp War Memorial either. If it's a night tour, why add a stop to a place with no good lighting? The Capitol building was basically at the end of the tour, and my husband and I decided to leave at this point because we were under the impression that it was over after that and our BnB was nearb. It's possible that they did indeed drive past Arlington, FBI HQ, and a couple of museums, but the driver made it seem like we were out of time so I am unsure if those things actually happened. Being on the other side of the city at that point, I am doubtful Arlington was any part of it. Honestly, you'd be better off during a day tour. We got some "ok" photos but because it was dark AND rainy for a good majority, we were pretty disappointed, especially because the only thing that really matched was the light refreshments. Weather is not in anyone's control, but that wasn't even the worst part. No tour should offer things in their description that they do not actually provide, especially for the price you pay. Aside from Steve, we felt really let down on our first night of exploring DC because of this tour. Pick another!

Response from Host, Jul 2022
