This is my 5th time to see the monuments at night. It’s my 4th time with this company. I love the comfort of the climate controlled bus. The driver is super and the guide is knowledgeable. Both are very friendly. Plenty of time at each stop. Lots of great info on the trip. Sally and Chris are the BEST.

Our tour was great, and what made it even more special was feeling safe with our driver Godfrey and our wonderful tour guide Vernon! He is so knowledgeable, funny, and charismatic! We stopped to take pictures and view the monuments, and Vernon did an amazing job providing history and facts with a little humor! 10/10 experience!

It was to many people for the price. We were on a bus with 43 people. Waiting for people to get on bus was tiresome. The guide didn’t explain at each stop which was a disappointment.
