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!

    Our tour guide, George, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He and our driver, Lisa, have a great rapport. Together, they strategized the best ways to get from site to site. There were multiple road closures due to the upcoming Army 250th Anniversary Parade the next day. Lisa was brilliant in maneuvering the tour bus in a confusing gridlock. The monuments are more beautiful at night; so glad we did this tour. We were unable to see the Vietnam War, Korean War, and MLK Jr Memorials due to the road closures. George was very apologetic, and we understand that it was not the tour company’s fault and that the situation was uncontrollable. George suggested other venues for us to visit and gave some insider tips on navigating the city to visit those venues. Despite the missed memorials, my family and I enjoyed this tour very much. Especially loved the Iwo Jima Memorial lit up at night. Kudos to George and Lisa for giving their best effort in getting us to as many monuments and memorials despite the traffic jams!

    The staff is excellent. The buses are clean and comfortable. No traffic to hassle with so you can enjoy the sights. Some walking but mostly arriving right up front. The 10 sights you visit are spectacular. Kudos to our guide…he was filled with knowledge and shared it with us in a most delightful manner.

  • Highly recommend

    Military Parade prep impeded our tour. The driver Eric and guide Jeff worked really hard to still make the tour fun. We saw most of the planned monuments, but barricaded streets kept us from a couple of planned stops. They had lots of water for us.

  • Tour guide great!

    The tour was challenged by road blocks due to the Army parade but our driver and guide made it a good experience anyway!
