Traveler Tips


Future tourists, my advice is to follow the red light at night, take time to admire the monuments instead of snapping photos the whole time, and listen to the tour guide as they will explain what to do.
I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and families.

Great tour! Don't purchase the Washington Monument addon!
Kim_P, Jun 2023
We had a great time on our night tour of the monuments. Our guide and driver were fantasitc. However, we also added on the Washington Monument tour. It was not very clear that this was not included in the night time tour. You get a ticket to return the next day. These tickets are free or $1 online if you purchase with the Washington Monument. We were charged $20. Don't do it. The NPS agent said that these outfits are not supposed to charge for these tickets.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
“Thank you much for taking the tour with us we are very glad you enjoyed . About the Washington Monuoment yes you can get it online and it’s $1 per tickets if you found it also you can go at 6 am to be in the line until they open at 8:45 and good luck if you got it because not everyone in the line can get it regarding the limitation of the number of tickets .we Recommend you to do it the next time . we work hard to provide the best service to our guest we are the provider who give you the service to make you having a great time and safe your time to enjoyed with your family and to see the city .the Washington Monuoment its very highs demand for that it’s hard to get the tickets for it for that all our guest very happy and they thank us for that .
