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 experience was amazingly fun and historically memorable. Arrive 10-15 minutes early and use the restroom prior to departure.

I was hesitant to skip out on seeing the monuments in the day - but I am so glad we decided to see them at night! The weather was super hot - and it was still hot at night - but to see the monuments in the evening is the way to go! Our tour guide was funny and so nice! He was informative too! We saw everything we wanted to see, didn't feel rushed...and aside from another passenger stealing our phone charger when we got off the bus at one of the stops, it was a perfect tour!

Derek, our tour guide, was awesome and knowledgeable. When it got dark, it became difficult to see out of the window, but he did an excellent job explaining everything

The tour was great. Our guide Bob was excellent. Not too much walking was done and if you don’t want to walk, you can hang out on the nice air conditioned bus.

Our tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a ton of new information about the memorials, monuments, and DC that we never knew before. The bus was comfortable and the tour the perfect length. We totally recommend this tour!
