Our driver/guide Dustin was very knowledgeable and kept ongoing commentary about what we went by/ visited. Small bus was more friendly and easy to get in and out of.

Great tour of the monuments at night! Be prepared to take photos & bring along a flashlight as some of the paths to the monuments are dimly lit.
Victoria_R, Apr 2026
During the tour we saw so many of the monuments, lit up at night. I was impressed with how many were included. DUSTIN our guide was an amazing wealth of knowledge. He not only spoke about the monuments themselves, but gave background on many places we passed on our way to the various monuments. Excellent!!

This tour was absolutely fantastic! A great way to see the city at night. Our tour leader was a great guy... really knew his stuff, and didn't rush us at all. He was definitely passionate about his city, and his descriptions certainly reflected that.

Great way to see all the sights with someone who explains the history. Fun way to travel with a group and cover lots of ground
Christina_A, Mar 2026
The amount of information given, the time at each location, and the tour driver himself were great! The tour size was a nice size that allowed for us to spend more time at our stops because the amount of time spent in getting back on the bus was quicker. The monuments included were all the ones I wanted to see and the monuments at night will be in my mind for a long time. Ken thank you for a great tour!

Denise_S, Feb 2026
The driver was knowledgeable, and the tour was A1. He made it a great experience despite the bad that was beyond the control of the company. It was raining/snowing and cold, which caused foggy windows. The access to many of the sites were limited and alot of construction. I would definitely do it agian in the summer.

Melanie_S, Feb 2026
This tour was absolutely stunning! It was a very cold night, but the warm comfy van and interaction with the gude and fellow tourmates was amazing. The nations capitol covered in snow made it magical. This experience is a must! If you love supporting small business and getting indivdualized attention this is your tour! No massive busload of people, we had some venues all to ourselves!

Wow what an experience, Ken our guide was great, very knowledgeable. Also he rebooked our trip due to my wife not being well the night before & very patient with me due to my disability of getting in & out of the tour van… this is a must trip to go on seeing other sites that other tour operators don’t do… Ken keep up the good work
