Experience the stunning beauty of the architecture and memorials of Washington, D.C. lit up after dark.

You’ll begin the tour at the U.S. Navy Memorial, then board the luxury, late-model tour bus and make yourself comfortable before we head off to iconic attractions, including the White House, the Korean War Memorial, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.

Each building and monument features a special illumination at night. Hop off the bus and explore the memorials with your guide, taking advantage of multiple photo opportunities. The full shimmering skyline can be seen at the start and end of your tour, including views of the twinkling Tidal Basin and Thomas Jefferson Memorial.

For a more exclusive experience, upgrade to our convertible/glass top vehicle which serves a smaller group and provides fresh air and uninterrupted views!

    Since this is an evening tour it might be smart to use your phone light in certain areas. Lots of wonderful information on this tour. A full three hours. Wear good walking shoes!

    Awesome trip, we saw all the monuments, and learned about the city. Seeing all the buildings you see on TV was super cool.

  • Do not let them seat you in the front.

    We decided to book this night time open roof tour for our honeymoon as a fun excursion. We were thoroughly disappointed since they over booked the tour and we had to sit in the very front where you can’t see anything and it’s not open, not only that but since the tour guide is behind you in the open spot, you also can’t hear. I was to the point of tears I was so upset and disappointed, I made the drive 13 hours, which was out of our way in order just to do this tour. Luckily, they closed the windows so we could actually see and most of the tour was outside instead of in the bus. The tour guide was great and the driver was too. A little advice: if they try to put you in the very front two seats say no and tell them you want to be on a different bus. We ended up having a good time and rented the scooters on the street after to get back to our location. The tour guide made it better, I would go again but I would absolutely refuse the front seat and get on another bus or book another day (if we had the time). Over all the tour is great and we would give it another shot.

  • Great tour, knowledgeable guide. Highly Recommend

    Great tour, our guide was very knowledgeable. Most Monuments looked amazing lit up, although a couple were too dark to really see properly. Definitely recommend.
