Great experience with night monument tour. - Terrific experience with the nighttime monument tour. I did one with my son about 12 years ago and it was superb. There was actually a lot more information provided during this outing, with excellent answers to questions and lots of specifics about duration of viewing the monuments, returning to the bus and lots of stories in between. I believe it about three hours in duration and we loved every minute. My 11 and 13-year-old daughters who did not appear to enthusiastic initially, but they rose to the occasion, jumped out for every view, asked questions were totally engaged. I would do this every time I go to DC. Thank you so much for our great guides.

History by Moonlight - The monuments at night are truly beautiful and meaningful. I felt pride in my country’s history and the sacrifices people have made. Our tour guide, Dwayne, was a wealth of information and made the tour inspiring with historical stories and facts.

Worth it - Kris & James were excellent to tour with. James was very knowledgeable and open to questions and teaching. Kris was very timely and helpful. The price for the tour felt very fair for the quality of tour. 3 hours was just the right amount of time. Seeing the Lincoln memorial at night is a must see.

Good First Evening Activity - Good for a first evening activity. A lot of stops but not enough time available at all stops. Good information from the tour guide. Would have liked to get the NPS stamps for the monuments. It would be helpful for the tour guide to point out the kiosks where you could get them at the stops where there was more time allowed.. I managed to snag two. It rained the entire time which made walking by the Korean War Memorial even more poignant.

We saw all the sights we... - We saw all the sights we wanted to see, but the tour was longer than necessary due to the size of the group. There was a lot of information provided by the tour guide but much of it was unnecessary and not related to what we were visiting. I believe something similar to one of the small group golf cart trips would have provided the same sights and information in substantially less time.

Don't do it. - Extremely disappointed in this tour. Very liberal tour. From the man who organized us into a line to board the bus, who was more like a drill Sgt! He refused to answer questions just barked at us to get in line. Then the tour guide was very much like a liberal college professor who was attempting to indoctrinate the tour with her "all we want" bull crap. Never again!
