We did this 3 hour night tour of DC on November 2nd (during the government shutdown). We did this tour on our first night during our 6 days here in DC. From the moment we started the tour until the very end, David provided in-depth and comprehensive detail for each of the sights we visited. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of US history made the 3 hours fly by! David clearly enjoys his job and we were so fortunate to have him as our guide. This tour exceeded our expectations and was a great way to start our visit to DC.

We are new to living in the DC area and highly enjoyed this tour as we saw monuments we hadn’t seen. It was easy to stay with the group at night as everyone got a light up bracelet to wear. And we were able to wander away from the group to take photos while still being able to hear the tour guide through ear phones. Plus they offered water and snacks! Tour guide is highly knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

We have been on A LOT of tours over the past 35 years, and found this to be one of the best we've ever experienced. Even for two 55+ folks with creaky joints, the 3.5 hours was not overly taxing, even going up and down the stairs for the various memorials. Our guide, David, was extremely knowledgeable about every place we went, had photos, knew quotes off the top off his head. The evening was much more compelling and enjoyable knowing he knew his stuff and wasn't just reciting from a memorized script. Going at night allowed us to enjoy low crowds, cool temperatures, and the beauty of the lighted monuments. The later start time seemed less attractive to families with babies and small children, which was a plus for folks like us who enjoy a quiet evening. The time at each stop was ample, and the headsets made everything crystal clear. They also help keep the ambiance at each location respectfully quiet and allowed us latitude to look around while hearing the guide. The glow bracelets were also an excellent choice for helping the group stay together. Our driver, Roy, was also very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend and go on this tour again!
