    Full description

    Admire the atmospheric landmarks of the capital from an open-top or glass-top bus as the sun sets on Washington, DC. Take a trip to the twilight zone with mesmerizing views of the city highlights at dusk. See the most famous monuments lit up, casting a glimmering glow over the city.

    Begin at the U.S. Navy Memorial, before heading through the half-light to capture views of the White House, the Korean War Memorial, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.

    Each monument features special illuminations at night, with regular opportunities to hop off and see the spectacular sculpture work up close, along with countless photo opportunities.

    Marvel at the full shimmering skyline at the start and endpoint of your tour, which also includes views of the twinkling Tidal Basin and Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Night tours don’t get much more magical than this, and pair perfectly with a day tour the following day.

    Jamal was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and gave details, history, and the meaning behind each monument. He was great at answering all the questions we had. We loved that we were able to get off the bus and go up to the monuments. Perfect way to see them (plus it’s less crowded at night).

    Christopher was very knowledgeable and funny and personally took us around some of the war memorials. He helped one of travelers find her family member at the Vietnam memorial, it was very touching. He also used humor when one of the ladies on our bus got on the wrong bus! He was great and he dropped us near us near the metro station at the end of the tour so we could easily get back to our B&B. Highly recommend!

    The tour was fantastic, but DO NOT BOOK IT WITH GET YOUR GUIDE! It says that it's an open-top tour bus, and you get a "discounted rate", but actually they are booking you on the cheaper closed-top tour bus. The company was really nice about letting us switch, but if you want to make sure you know what you are booking you should book directly with USA Guided Tours.
