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!

This was a must do in my book. The monuments at night are beautiful. The areas are quiet and really gives you time to reflect. The guide Jeff and driver Tracy were amazing. So knowledgeable and kind and we left with a memorable heart and some history.

Tour Guide, George and driver, Andrew, assured us we and our belongings would be safe if left/remained on bus during stops. During one stop, Andrew was simply supposed to relocate bus to next pickup point. Instead he went on an impromptu joy ride for dinner. He stopped at Potbelly’s Sandwiches, turned off all the lights, and left vehicle unattended. My wife was still on the bus!! She was left ALONE on the bus, IN THE DARK!! She was absolutely terrified!!

Outstanding experience on Oct. 7 th’s evening tour! Our guide and driver ( Sean) were fantastic!!! The guides knowledge of the monuments as well as his stories kept our attention for all 3 hours. More importantly, our guide loves the city and loves doing what he is doing. I have been on at least 10 tours like this over the years( children and grandchildren) and he gave me information and stories that I had never heard before. Thank you for a wonderful time!!!
