Our guide Sally was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the monuments, why they are where they are and how they all fit together.

The DC Monuments Night Tour was the highlight of our DC visit. It is the most beautiful time of day to see our nation’s most important and memorable sites. Our guide Sally was amazing! She was not only affable but extremely knowledgeable of the sites, telling its history and some human interest info as well. Godfrey, our driver, also did a great job! He was very accommodating, getting close to each site so there was minimal walking. I would recommend this tour to anyone for an enjoyable tour of our Capital’s monuments.

Sally and Godfrey were wonderful tour guides/driver. Sally has a wonderful voice for narration and knows the area and attractions well. When they came upon a closed street they were able to quickly reroute and cover everything from a slightly different route.
