Overview

See a different side of Washington DC after dark on a guided night tour of the city's floodlit monuments. This tour runs on our standard enclosed coach — or you can upgrade at booking to our small-group convertible (open-top in warm months, glass-top in winter) for fresh air and unobstructed views. Choose your vehicle in the booking options below. You’ll begin the tour at the U.S. Navy Memorial, then board the bus and settle in before heading off to iconic attractions, including the White House, the Korean War Memorial, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. After dark, each monument and building takes on a dramatic glow. Stronger verb, no repeat. Hop off the bus and explore the memorials with your guide, taking advantage of multiple photo opportunities. The full glittering sweep of the National Mall can be seen at the start and end of your tour, including the twinkling Tidal Basin and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
