The tour and guide were excellent. Only disappointing thing was the lack of lighting in certain areas (korean monument, Vietnam..) as it was too dark to take photos. Fortunately I had seen the Vietnam memorial in the daytime, but for the stops, the tour needs to stop where there are lights.

Guide did a fair job. The WW II Memorial is not on the tour. This is insane. It is one of the most important sites and newest. Not sure whose fault this is, but the Vietnam Memorial Wall was not lighted. Could not see the names.

I enjoyed seeing the monuments by night but we had trolley trouble so it extended our evening quite a bit past it's scheduled time. I wouldn't recomment this because while the monuments are beautiful,I really couldn't see any of the sights. I really wanted to see the Vietnam Memorial and it wasn't visible. What a disappointment.

Recommend the tour. The driver was informative and entertaining. It was a beautiful moonlit night (great luck/timing with that!) Rushed for time at the Lincoln/Korean War/Vietnam Memorials; only got to see two of three with time alotted. On the negative side, Viator did not notify the trolley co. of our reservation (discovered the day of the tour when we confirmed), but the trolley co. fit us in.

Note from Viator: Thank you for your comment. In case it isn't clear, Viator does not individually notify the tour operator of each individual who books the tour through our web site. As it says in the information section for this tour listing, "You must present a paper voucher for this tour.

It is a must to call the local tour company the day before to confirm your reservation. The driver picked us up at a near by hotel & drop us off at our hotel. it was very nice of him. It was very dark at the Vietnam & Korean Memorial, not good to view at night. Overall, it's good value.

The stops at Lincoln, Vietnam and the Korean Monuments were too short to even see all three. Since the Iwo Jima monument was not well lit, it would have been better early in the tour!

I was disappointed in the Vietnam war memorial, it was very difficult to see in the dark. Our tour guide was very well informed, and kept the bus entertained.

I would have liked the stops to be longer. 20 minutes at the Vietnam War, Korean War, and Lincoln Memorials was very short. I also would have liked a stop at the WWII Memorial, which is most impressive at night.

It was worth it but on our stop at the Vietnam memorial we waited for an hour for our bus to the Arlington national cemetery. Other than that it was really great. Knowledgeable driver.
