We had a terrific time on this tour. A beautiful spring evening certainly helped a lot too! Gil was a great tour guide. We learned tons of fun facts about Washington. The stops for photos and leg-stretching were just the right length of time. I have been on 2 other night-time monument/memorial tours in Washington by other vendors and this was by far the best. Lots of value for the money.

I was really looking forward to this tour and was very disappointed. The trolley is not comfortable and the sound system was weak. We were given 30 minutes to view Lincoln's Memorial, The Korean War Memorial and the Viet Nam wall. That simply is not enough time. I was also disappointed that the WWII memorial was not on the tour. You do not stop at the Jefferson Memorial but have 15 minutes at the Iwo Jima statute. It did not make sense to me. All in all it was not a good experience.

The tour was GREAT! The driver was well informed and shared a lot of stories about the sites we were seeing. The only way to see the monuments at night.

It was an outstanding tour, but what made it truly outstanding was our tour guide, Keith! We have been on several tours in D.C., but Keith was, by far, the best tour guide we've ever had. What made Keith so special is that he has a very unique knowledge of D.C. and its monuments, memorials, thoroughfares, etc. because he has lived and worked there for quite some time. During that time, because he is a true "history hound," he has soaked up some of the most amazing and eclectic little nuggets of history that most people would totally ignore. But Keith finds an interest in every facet of history, no matter how big or small, and he shares it with his tour guests. On top of that, you truly couldn't hope to meet a more wonderful person. I honestly felt like I was in a car, just riding with one of my family members because Keith made me and my family feel that at home. I would recommend Keith, specifically, to anyone who truly wants to get to KNOW D.C., and I would let him tour my family anywhere. Thank you so much, Keith, for loving what you do and sharing that love with all of us. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Doing what: Washington DC Segway Night Tour
We loved this tour. Two of the four people had never been on Segways before and we're really nervous. However, they are SO easy to ride, it is amazing. Everyone was comfortable within about 5 minutes. Grace, our guide was super-friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was timed perfectly to be in front of the Capitol and looking back at the Washington Monument right at Sunset. We also made stops infront of the White House, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial and others. Riding the Segways down the bike lane on Pennsylvania Ave was also fun! What a great way to see DC.

too cold to unzip the windows of the trolly, otherwise would've rated 5 stars.

Great tour. Guide, Eric, was excellent. Shared many facts, pointed out interesting trivia and sites along the way. Mom and 11 yr old daughter traveled together and both enjoyed the tour. Only drawback was tour started about 30 minutes late. Stood in line about an hour.

The tour guide, Adam, did a very good job in explaining and sharing stories with us. We enjoyed the tour very much. I think I would have enjoyed it more in the daytime as it was often hard to see the writing at the memorials.I also was disappointed in the huge number of out of control students that we encountered..

More time is needed for people using a wheel chair at sites. Driver and guide was extreemly helpful but at FDR and MLK jr need more time -- only enough time to do one site.

It was cold, so plastic windows were down, causing poor visibility of incredible national sites at night. plastic was scratched, old... causing distorted, unenjoyable visibility
