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!

We were excited when we booked this tour and it did not disappoint! A must see for anyone visiting DC! Our tour guide George was very knowledgeable and entertaining! The bus was very comfortable- perfect temperature and water provided. Seeing the monuments and memorials shine at night and hearing the stories behind their meanings left us in awe! Beautiful and humbling…

Booked the trip with a friend 05/25. I chose the enclosed bus, not the open roof bus. George was our guide. He is very good. Knowledgeable, articulate, friendly. We saw 10 major attractions. They are totally different at night. Emmanuel drove the bus in the crazy DC traffic. We'll done, E. Water was provided. IMO - a very worthwhile nightime trip
