Washington DC Monuments by Moonlight Night Tour by Trolley
Washington D.C., United States of America
You haven't seen Washington DC until you've seen it at night! On this narrated evening tour, you'll enjoy the sights and sounds of Washington DC, and see first-hand how Washington turns into a different city when the sun goes down!
Onboard your trolley, you'll see 100 of Washington DC's most popular monuments and points of interest, including the Capitol Building, the White House, the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument.
The trolley also makes night-time stops at the FDR Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Korean War Veteran's Memorial and the Iwo Jima Memorial, allowing you to see these impressive monuments floodlit by night.
While you tour, your guide provides entertaining anecdotes and historical information about the sights, along with a sprinkling of bewitching ghost stories about the spirits who haunt the nation's capital.
I felt it was kinda rush. Insufficient time for exploration

We only had one night in Washington and this was the ideal way to see everything that you would want to see. The tour guide was fantastic and very informative. Bus was comfortable and we saw everything that we wanted to see. We would recommend this to anyone visiting the city for the first time, especially if your time there is limited.

Highlight of our 4 days in DC! Our tour guide, MJ (bus #348), was awesome...informative and hilarious! Don’t know how he drives and talks so much, at the same time...effortlessly. Thank you for making our trip!

This tour is excellent!!! Harriet was the best tour guide ever. She had great facts about DC and gave us plenty of time at all the stops. We had so much fun exploring DC at night with Harriet. I highly recommend this tour. DC is spectacular at night.

We took the VIp tour, it was great tour money well spent. Chris the guide did a fantastic job I was amazed by his knowledge. Would definitely recommend this tour. We also took the Trolly tour at night, MJ also did a fantastic job narrating, he was very funny and entertaining. But this was on our last night and we were too tired to get off the bus just enjoyed the sights from the bus.

Best trip ever and Smiley our tour guide really was the one who made the tour what it was! Not only did we get to see the most amazing sights we had fun as a group.
Review by: Sue, March 2018
Jamie our tour guide was great. His bus driving and parking were exceptional and he was very knowledgeable! My only wish would be a guide with the group while we were at the monuments. Sometimes I felt a little unsure of directions in the dark. Over all I would highly recommend this company.

It was good.

The tour was great! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept my interest. Only down side - it was a trolley and the plastic windows were very difficult to see out of -not the best thing for a sight seeing tour.

Our guide, Smiley was wonderful. He was friendly. He had a lot of knowledge about the monuments and the area that he shared. Great to see the monuments at night, the lighting is awesome and fewer crowds.

Tour was great, Jason was very informative and personable, even on a very cold night! Monuments are defiantly different at night a must see! And Jason was nice enough to stop at our metro line so we didn't have to do a transfer when we left the bus, Jason you are awsome!

Great tour, beautiful to see the monuments all lit up
Review by: John G, December 2017

Many of the monuments are beautiful at night. Driver was excellent and made for a wonderful tour. On the downside the lineups to board the bus were very long at the beginning._br/_ Well worth it
Review by: Lee S, November 2017
Great tour. Highly recommended. Our tour guide was fantastic.
Review by: Kathleen C, October 2017
First let me begin by saying our driver mr. history was wonderful -he was very knowledgeable! The problem was the fact that yo7 could not see anything out the windows because the plastic was steamed up and not translucent. I understand that you cant control the weather and it was horrible, but if tourist cant even stay warm and dry inside and see the sites -whats the point?? There were 3 in Party and we were all disappointed enough said.

Loved our guide, Sunnie so informative with a great sense of humor!!
Review by: Susan D, October 2017
Delightful experience! Just Joe was charming, quirky and friendly. Some information skewed and subjective Eleanor Roosevelt. Please ensure tour guides are providing facts and NOT sentiments. Overall experience was fantastic and the monuments illuminated in the night was beautiful.
Review by: Danny G, October 2017
This was a very nice way to see the most popular monuments-in the early evening when they are much less crowded. Our driver was great-giving us lots of interesting information on the ride between stops. The only negative was that the bus often had to park 10 or 15 min away from the monuments so that a 30 or 40 minute visit at each stop was mostly consumed by walking!

Great
Review by: Kara Jo L, October 2017
Wonderful, comprehensive tour with a very experienced, knowledgeable and humorous guide. Would have liked a bit more time at each stop but I understand why a half-hour makes sense to keep the tour within a specific timeframe. Loved it! Would definitely take a tour through this company again.
Review by: Denise D, October 2017
This tour was amazing! The guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Don’t miss the opportunity.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: LISI W, October 2017
This tour was amazing. I highly recommend seeing the Monuments at night. Our tour guide MJ was very informative and entertaining. My critique is the following: Go to Union Station way before 15 min before the start of the tour. It was disorganizned and chaotic however, I would note the weather was gorgeous so perhaps a large number of people purchased the night we went. Additionally, we all eventually got on a trolley so in the end all was fine!
Review by: Antony f, October 2017
Very disappointed . Spent 30 mins at Roosevelt Memorial which was not lit up so we saw nothing - The tour Co should have been aware of this and the guide should have just skipped this sighting._br/_ Spent far too long at each stop - the only good bit was Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument._br/_ Could get no photos of The Capitol or White House - just drove past in the bus !_br/_ Pity we chose this tour as Washington looks a lovely City !
Review by: Neal B, October 2017
My husband and I really enjoyed our evening tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enjoyable. DC in the evening is beautiful ! The only thing we wished for a better experience would have been a little longer time to walk around at the Vietnam Memorial. My husband wanted to go to the Lincoln Memorial and I wanted to go to the Vietnam Memorial,we could not do bothnot nearly enough time.We did not have enough time to even go into the gift shop. We felt very rushed and I felt very sorry my husband could not go to the Lincoln Memorial. _br/_ The tour was very much worth the money..
Review by: judy r, October 2017
This is a must do. The monuments during the night are so beautiful. I would do this tour over any others.
Review by: Kathleen C, October 2017
I highly recommend this tour.
Review by: Ann E, October 2017
The tour was very good, I wasn't connecting with the driver as a guide, he kept telling us to pay attention so we didn't miss his jokes. Maybe it's because I'm a senior citizen, but, I couldn't understand the guide's explanation of the FDR or Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorials, so I missed MLK altogether and only saw part of FDR. Loved the lighted Lincoln Memorial and my favorite, Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Washington DC.
Review by: Gary P, September 2017
Well, after it took almost an hour, to get loaded onto the bus, we enjoyed the tour. We had already toured almost all of the sights. The night tour gave some different substance to the weekend we had in DC. Well worth the money to take the tour!
Review by: Ellen M, September 2017
Washington DC by Moonlight was wonderful. But what made the tour Top Notch, 10 Star was the tour Guide SMILEY. What a super knowledgeable and entertaining guide. You are lucky to have him.
Review by: Lynn A, September 2017
Ok, but not enough time at the sites. Would recommend that tour start sooner. Sites at night were pretty, though.
Review by: Fred W, May 2017
Seeing the monuments by night is well worth the experience. Our tour guide, Vince, was very knowledgeable and made every effort to make sure our trip was pleasurable and informative. That said, be prepared for confusion in the boarding process at Union Station. Although the website indicates they will take electronic vouchers, they only will accept the printed version of the email at the time of boarding - once you find it!
