Our tour guide was outstanding! Her knowledge of EVERYTHING certainly impressed us and we are far from first time visitors to DC. What a fantastic way to spend a night!!

This was a highlight on my trip to DC. The tour guide was fun and informative, and seeing the monuments at night was awesome!

I think it would be better to go to Arlington, Iwo Jima, and the Vietnam Memorial first since the tour starts in the daylight. These areas would have been better in daylight. I would have liked to see the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Capitol and White House after it was dark so we could see them lighted. Also, it was very confusing that the tour bus was actually an OnBoard tour bus.

The guide was excellent and we went to all the right sites. However, if you've paid in advance, get there really early. We arrived early, before the bus got there. But we were unable to go on the tour we had paid for because passengers who were scheduled for a later bus were allowed to fill the bus. They were in line before we were. This could have been avoided if ticketed departure times were honored, rather than first come. But get there early.

This tour was definitely the right trip for someone with limited time to see Washington, DC. The bus was very comfortable, and the tour guide was incredibly well informed on every aspect of DC that we could think of. Two points of improvement would be to clarify where we are supposed to meet for the bus pickup and to remind guides that they need to keep their political affiliations and comments to themselves. This was possibly my one chance to see our great capital and so many monuments of our history, but the end of the tour was a little tainted as I felt like too much of the guide's personal opinion was being shared with some of the other customers.

This tour was also worth doing. The only problem was that we had already been to some of the same places on the other tour we took. Being there at night though was nice as it was a little cooler. Also, there were some monuments that we hadn't seen yet.

This was a great tour. The tour guide was very good and knowledgeable. It got hard taking pictures late at night, but would definitely do it again. DC at night was beautiful. I would rate as a must do for someone visiting DC.

It wasn't dark when we started, being July, but enjoyed the monuments we saw both in daylight and dark. The guide was excellent. My only negatives were that it was difficult to stay with our guide in the dark with such huge crowds, and one family on our bus repeatedly held everyone up.

Disorganized to begin with but the tour guide was great, the night was beautiful, and we visited the Jefferson and FDR Memorials, which we're sure we wouldn't have gotten to without this tour. The night tour is beautiful if the weather cooperates and it was a relief from the daytime heat, as well as beautiful, to see these points of interest at twilight.

The tour guide was great. We really enjoyed all the 'behind the scenes' information that he included. It was fun and informative!
