Felt a bit rushed. Appreciated stops but harder to hear him or follow him when dark. Too much time at MLK
Really awesome time and great value. I was in DC for a conference and knew I wouldn't be able to see the monuments on my own. Going on the night tour allowed me to experience some of the highlights of DC with a GREAT tour guide.
Never got to do it because of the airlines and when I Tried to reschedule no one got back to me. I was not happy. Wish I could have gone on this.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, able to answer any questions and on time for every location.
More walking than we expected, but the guide was very knowledgeable. The bus driver was very capable too. We really appreciated the cold water too.
This tour is worth it. We enjoyed every second and saw wonderful memorials. We learned a lot. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re truly delighted that you had such an enjoyable experience with us. It would be an absolute pleasure to welcome you back again in the near future. Malaak.
So the experience was amazing because you can't look at all those monuments and not being a the issue was air conditioning on the bus was not working so it was hot which I understand is beyond their control however the tour guide went so fast through the details it was difficult to follow and wasn't providing much details because she didn't want to get off the bus and most importantly we were driving past the landmarks so fast that you couldn't get pictures so while it was a good experience it still required finesse and still requires a better presentation!
Right at the Fourth of July weekend. A lot of the streets were closed and they tried their best to get us to the different spots. Great guide Larry and driver Sam
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour. It would be our pleasure to have you join us again in the future! Malaak.
Sally and Ibrahim were outstanding, even in the face of multiple uncertainties surrounding our tour which was one day before July 4th, 2026!
Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed your visit. We hope your next trip to DC includes another tour with us! Malaak.
I have done this tour in the past and loved it. I understand some things were out of the tour company’s hands, such as the weather (hot!) and road closures for the America250 celebration. We boarded the bus for our 7:30 tour at 7 pm, so many of the monuments we saw were not lit up. Our guide gave us a short description of the monument, then left us on our own to walk up, take pictures, and return to the bus. I saw other tour guides giving more detailed, in depth descriptions of the memorials, and would have appreciated that, but maybe our group was too large to accommodate that. We could not see the special graphics on the Washington Monument since it was not dark, but the Korean and Iwo Jima monuments were lit. Overall, it was okay, and my 14 yr old granddaughter did get pictures, but hopefully she will be able to return and explore more thoroughly.
