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!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The bus driver was wonderful too. My only complaint is that some of the war memorials are not very well lit for night time. (This isn’t the tours fault).
The BEST experience!

Per the tour guide it was a brief overview/introduction to the monuments and sites. Our excursion felt rushed and some what chaotic. Perhaps the time crunch had more to do with the large masses of field trips clogging the tour sites. Ultimately we were unable to even climb the steps to the Jefferson memorial and secure adequate images. We were very disappointed and chose instead to walk the sites. We saved our tour of these sites for the evening specifically to secure awesome imagery and enjoy the memorials under the light of the moon. This tour is extremely rushed and not worth the price.

Very good guide. Jeff was the guide and driver Andrew. We were able to see the monuments it would have been difficult to walk to since we were using the Metro for transportation. It gave us time on the second day to concentrate on the Smithsonian buildings.
