Our driver, Hollywood was fantastic. He was so informative and funny. We had a chance to get off the bus and see some of the sights up close. He allowed enough time without it being too much waiting for folks.
Show!

A little chilly but the trolley passengers compromised on keeping vinyl shades up or down. MIKE, our guide and driver, was beyond knowledgeable about the buildings and monuments. Kept us current on status of closure or partial closure of the sites. They are also able to accommodate a scooter for those with mobility needs. A little dark at night. Bring a small flashlight or light up your phone on some areas. It’s very pretty lit up at night!
This was nice.

Fee was appropriate. Check in was easy. The tour was “a lot” about what every building we saw was rather than a general statement about “these are the office buildings for the representatives”. The city is so nice at night. The stops were appropriate in location and duration.
What a great way to see...

What a great way to see all of the monuments lit up at night! Our guide, Smiley, was informative, fun, and upbeat! 3 hour tour was well worth the price!
