Amazing tour for anyone who wants a personal and fun look at the monuments of DC. Our driver Steve was professional all around and got us across the city safely, and our guide, Kory, was really fun and obviously passionate about the area’s history. I was not looking for a deeply sanitized tour with guides who sound like they’re reading off of plaques at the monuments, and fortunately that’s not what I got. I recommend this bus tour for those who like to ask deeper questions about the Capitol’s history and get immediate answers, those who want something beyond the typical tourist experience, and those who want to be truly guided through DC and its intricacies rather than simply taken to photo-ops. Excellent experience all around!
Family did a private tour of many of the must-see memorials and monuments. Definitely a luxury to have a private tour, but extremely convenient and helpful with one child in a wheelchair. Daniel was our driver/guide and he was funny, informative, and drove with care and assisted us with carrying the chair in and out of the car even when it wasnt asked of him. We hit all the sites in the evening as the sun was setting and the twilight made for some spectacular views. It was a great overview tour of DC and a good jumping off point to start our time in DC.
We had Anne Marie & Rich as our guides. We are a family of four (two teenagers). We all agree this tour was the highlight of our trip to DC. We were able to spend a little time at each of the monuments. Our favorite was the Roosevelt, which was a special treat. Anne Marie is incredibly knowledgeable and made this stop extra impactful. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Cannot recommend enough.
This tour was fantastic. Neither of us had been to DC before and only had a limited time in the city. The tour took us to all the major monuments and sites that we wanted to see. Dean was very knowledgeable, helpful and easy to get along with. We were driven as close as possible to the sites and Dean gave us interesting information on each one. We had plenty of time to explore at each stop and take pictures. We never would have seen all we did if we had taken the metro or circulator bus around town as others had suggested. This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip and we highly recommend it.
This tour of DC went above and beyond of what I expected! The tour itself consisted of a small group of about 10 people and took us everywhere we could have wished to see in the 4 hours of the tour. Our guide, Kory, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and gave us very interesting facts at every place we visited, not just what you can read on the plaques. Steve was an amazing driver who made us feel safe in the DC traffic. It was our first time in DC and we will definitely be recommending friends and family for their first time as well. Thank you!
My wife and I did the half day tour of the Capitol. Sights were great but.The guide, Dustin, has a lot to learn about the service industry and why Id pay for the tour. He started by lecturing us all in the bus about talking while he is talking because he loses track. This was after two Indian ladies in front of us in the bus had a very quiet conversation. The mother was asking her daughter some questions about what the guide had said. Dustin was talking quickly and accented so if English was not your first language then it was difficult. My wife is Egyptian and her English is very good but she also had trouble. I tried to explain this to Dustin but he would have nothing of it and proceeded to give me and everyone on the bus another very long lecture like we were in school. Seriously? 3 stars is generous. Dustin also made a comment to us at the bring about wearing masks inside the bus. He told us it was a requirement from the Mayor but that he did not necessarily agree. This is NOT something you say to a bus load of tourists. Lastly, there is no doubt Dustin had heaps of knowledge but as a tour guide he us very poor and in the wrong job.
Very knowledgeable guide. Safe driver. Considerate of our time at each stop. Looked the small screen for adding info. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I took the evening tour with two teenage granddaughters. Steve and Brenda, the driver and guide, were friendly, helpful, professional, knowledgable and all-round awesome! I booked this small group tour rather than a bus because, really, it was only a few dollars more, and it was clearly the right decision. The small group meant more personal attention and the ability to adjust the tour to the groups desires. We covered a lot of territory in a few hours, learned history, heard stories, and experienced the wonder of the capitals mall and its monuments and memorials. You will not regret taking this tour!
We went on the Twilight Monuments tour and it was great! This was our first time in DC and we decided to take this tour at the beginning of our trip and we are so glad we did. It was beautiful to see and learn about the history of the monuments. The guides were very knowledgeable and interesting. The van was comfortable and it was like having a private tour with only six people. It was beautiful to see these sites as the sun was going down and after dark all lite up. It was very dramatic and impressive.Dean and Brenda were wonderful guides. I highly recommend this tour!
Ann Marie and Rich were a great team for our 10 person, 3 generation family. Our experience was tailored to our wants and needs. Ann Marie is extremely knowledgeable about the content, as well as telling great corny jokes to keep the kids interested. I had to use a mobility scooter and they were able to accommodate it. Would use them again in a heartbeat!
Corey K was our tour guide and he did an incredible job of keeping us safe, well informed, and made the experience entertaining. He possessed a wealth of knowledge that included fun facts. I highly recommend this tour and ensure youll be very pleased especially if youre fortunate to have Corey as your guide.
We love our tour. Kory did a great job and was so knowledgeable. Was. It afraid to answer any strange or weird questions the kids wanted to ask. We are from Kansas and learn so many secrets and fun facts you wouldn’t learn in the history books. Would and will suggest this to friends and family. Thank you so much for the great tour.
Excellent tour with Dean! Would highly recommend, even for locals. Always something new to learn! Dean was well-prepared with water and phone chargers.
We took the day tour and the night tour. 10/10 would recommend! The day tour was with Dean and Lori. Both were very knowledgeable and time conscientious. They added historical backgrounds to the sights. The night tour was with Dustin and it included stops not seen in the day tour as well as some of the same stops, but seeing the landmarks at night was phenomenal. Dustin was also very knowledgeable and humorous as well. He had a wealth of deep dive info on so many of the landmarks that definitely added value to the second tour as well.Both tours were very much worth the money. Both tours were very punctual and allowed ample amount of time to walk at the predetermined sites for photo ops. Both tours were fun, informative, and clearly led by people that love what they are doing. They went out of their way to help all of us feel like an active part of the learning and exploring experience. This was enhanced by the smaller group size they work to maintain.Our tour was in the middle of May 2021 as covid restrictions were still enforced but a few places were opening as well as tourism starting to pick up, and both tours did a fabulous job of ensuring our time was filled with as many sights as possible.This was a fabulous way to spend a day in DC!
If you want a wonderful guide of the monuments of DC take this tour! Our driver and guide (Kory) were top notch. Very informative and not rushed. Thank you for a experience to remember and all the information given.
Great tour! The van was very comfortable, our guide Steve was very knowledgeable and fun. The driver Edrick was great!I highly recommend the tour of DC monuments with them.
We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our tour guide, Brenda, was extremely knowledgeable, fun, had great stories, and made sure a good and informative time was had by all! Would recommend this tour to everyone!
A wonderful experience and the highlight of our visit in DC! Steve shared so much interesting information with us about DC, it’s monuments, buildings, people, etc. and he did it in a fun and productive way. Our driver Lisa was very kind and professional. Together they made the experience fun and enjoyable!
My husband and I were scheduled today on the See DC tour with Steve and Edrick. As we are from Florida and not staying in the DC area, I was concerned about a departure time for us to be on time as all around the area was congested. I texted my concern, and within minutes, Steve called me with the reassurance of how long to allow.Our tour was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, safe, and enjoyable. No matter what question was asked, Steve provided an answer. Being nervous with the DC traffic, Sedrick was excellent and always there to receive us back into the van offering a cold bottle of water with a welcoming smile!Highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed!Mike and Susan McNally
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we spent the right amount of time at each stop. The air conditioned van was a plus!
The tour we had was amazing, our guide Kory new tons of things about DC I would definitely say he was experienced. He told everyone things that we didn’t know and was overall a great guy.
Dean and Jilly were great and very personable! Was not rushed, had plenty of time for pictures and lots of fun facts! Jilly has an awesome British accent which is lovely to listen to! Great customer service and accommodation!
Last nights DC tour was amazing!!! Dean was a wonderful guide, very personable and felt like I was in good hands. The monuments are amazing to see during the day but at night, its a sight to see! Highly recommend the night tour!
Just finished a tour with Dean and Gilly. We enjoyed our time! Gilly was knowledgeable and though I had been to DC before on another tour, learned so much more info! They were flexible and allowed us to see all the sights and take pictures. As someone who never reviews, highly recommended! Will take their tours again!
Dean was an amazing tour guide! Very personal unlike the large group tours! You can tell he loves what he is doing and loves to share the history of DC! He goes out of his way to make each tour a very memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour.
The guide was excellent with a great knowledge of DC and its history. If the group wanted to add a site or two he was extremely amicable to that. In fact he asked us if there were any additional sites we wanted to see. He gave us ample time to look at the sites, & as a matter of fact we went over time allotted for the tour. He was on time for the tour. He even gave me a ride back to my hotel, which was not part of the package. I went on another tour the same day with a different company but in the morning, See DC was hands down the better tour. Best tour of DC. Money well spent. You cant go wrong.
Dean was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and nice. He got us safely around the city while imparting his wisdom. This was the perfect tour for my first time in DC.
I learned more on this 4 hour tour than I did in school. Steve was PHENOMENAL and extremely informative. Both him and Rich was prompt and professional. I recommend this tour to EVERYONE. I plan to bring my children to DC soon and our trip will start with a See DC today tour with Steve and Rich.
What do you do in the midst of a pandemic but want to see the sights of DC safely? You take this private tour! We were picked up at our hotel promptly. Our van clean and comfortable. The guides asked us what we wanted to see and we were on our way. Not one thing we desired was left out and we even had time to see some things we didnt expect to see. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time with Dean and Gayle as our capitans!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! My wife and I went On the NYE and wow it was great. First and foremost Steve ( our guide) kept the van nice and toasty on the cold day and whenever we went out for photos made sure the can was secured and helped everyone off the van. EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE and fun gives you a good history brief and talk throughout the tour Awnsers all questions with ease and ensured everyone maintained social distance.
Wonderful experience with this company. Our guide, Dean was very knowledgeable and attentive to our group. He provided water and umbrellas for us since it rained during our tour.We saw EVERYTHING and he took us EVERYWHERE in 3 hours! He really went the extra mile with us and we would definitely book with this company again.
Dean was wonderful. Picked us up from the scheduled location and we ended up being the only couple that day so it felt like a private tour. Got to see all the major landmarks with ample time to take pictures. Dean knew a lot of history and shared that with us along the way. He was very courteous, respectful and accommodating. The small van was air conditioned and he provided us with cold water throughout which was very much appreciated in the hot weather. He was nice enough to drop us off at another location so we could continue our adventures for the day. If and when we return, I’ll definitely be doing another tour with him, maybe at night.
Dean has encyclopedic knowledge of DC’s monuments. He is also attentive to his guests. I had a problem with my phone, which kept me preoccupied; he went out of his way to help resolve it. I’d attend his tour again a definitely recommend the night tour. It was amazing!
It was my first time in DC and I booked this tour based on the reviews that I read about it - I’m so glad that I did! ... Since I was the only one who booked the tour for the day, Dean picked me up from my hotel (instead of having me meet him at the usual meeting place) and he served as my personal tour guide. I was really impressed with the extra effort he put into creating slides on an iPad to share supplemental information for a lot of the sites that he showed me. (For e.g., since we couldn’t go inside the Pentagon, he showed me photos of the Memorial benches for all the people whose lives were lost during 911 at the Pentagon, etc.) ... He’s professional, kind (he always offered to take my pictures for me and showed me where the best spots to take photos were), and he was definitely a wealth of knowledge! I loved that he let me take my time when I wanted to walk and explore certain spots a bit more, and he made sure to really point out the good stuff that I otherwise would have missed... Oh, and when I found out that I needed to order tickets the day before to tour the Washington Monument (new rule in place because of Covid), he gave me practical advice about registering on the website the night before so I didn’t lose out on getting a ticket that day that I purchased one (since they were so limited in the number of tickets they were giving out per day) ... I cannot say enough great things about this tour! Also loved talking to Dean about his own personal experience of DC. If you’re going to DC, this tour with Dean is SO WORTH IT!!!
Dean was a wonderful tour guide! Our group thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
We loved our tour yesterday with See DC Today. Ari was our tour guide and Dean was our driver. Both were excellent! Dean knew his way around DC and was always at the right spot at the right time to pick us up (no waiting!). Ari was super knowledgeable about DC and history and was very friendly. She knew just the right amount of facts and information for our group and the right amount of time at each stop. Also, our group varied in ages and the tour was thoroughly enjoyed by all! We felt this tour was 100% worth it. We were touring DC for the day and wanted to see all the major monuments and historical sites. We were able to do this on a four hour private tour! I rarely write reviews but this company was A+! Highly recommend.
I don’t even know where to begin... I AM BEYOND AMAZED! Dean who was my tour guide was simply PERFECT! This was my first time traveling to DC and I don’t know if any other tour guide, tour bus, private tour could live up to the quality of customer service I received from Dean. 1,001% Pure Satisfaction! Dean was very knowledgeable about the city, took me on every HOTSPOT, YES EVERY HOTSPOT in DC and showed me some of the out parameters of DC. Dean’s services was simply out of this world. Impeccable!!! DEAN gets 10⭐️‘S across the board. I literally took in 95% DC in 4 and 1/2 hours due to DEAN. P.S we are still in a pandemic: DEAN gets A+++ for Cleanliness A+++ for Timeliness A+++ for Knowledge on every Landmarks and Hotspot, AAA+++ Customer Service, an OVERALL GOLD ⭐️ . Even though things are shutting down or have already shut down, just like every state in the US, DEAN made my DC Trip more than I can imagine. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND “DEAN” to be your tour guide when you travel to DC, any other tour would be a waste. Thank You DEAN for this spectacular DC experience!!! Be bless and be safe 😁🙏🏽
We had the pleasure of taking a tour with Arie and Paul whom were both wonderful. The tour provided us with invaluable information on the sites we visited while our guides also provided us time on our own to explore each exhibit. They were both extremely knowledgeable and friendly and I would only recommend their services to others looking for a top notch tour of Washington D.C.
If your can book a tour with Ari, you wont be disappointed. She was our guide for a night tour and she was awesome! Many little known facts and stories that you wouldnt necessarily get from a big bus tour. Highly recommended!
Dean was on time and was very patient with us. He showed us different tours and the history behind them. He also provided suggestions as to other things we can do in the area.
Wow, just WOW. Had an incredible private tour and I am truly blown away by every aspect of this company. Our guide, Gayle, was so friendly and knowledgeable, the car was elegant and clean, and the price was BEYOND fair! There truly couldnt be a better way to experience the city and if youre in town looking for a tour, do yourself a favor and book See DC Today!
My mother and I took a small group tour with this company and we are so glad that we did! Not only was the tour guide very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions, he was considerate of the fact that my mom couldn’t walk that much or go up stairs to see some of the things and showed us pictures of the monuments on his iPad when we reached some of the sites. Without going on this tour we would not have been able to experience DC like this. I recommend this company.
Excellent tour! Ann was very knowledgeable and funny. We did a night tour private for family of 9 and they customized it for our needs with kids! Highly recommend!
Living in Maryland weve done DC so many times with friends and family, but we decided to try an evening tour which completely blew us away!!! Our tour guide tailored the trip around what sights weve never seen before, and a couple we have but never at night. Our guide was so knowledge and fun!! My family made memories that will last a lifetime, and we got some great photos that arent your typical DC tourist shots. we highly recommend this tour!
We spent about 4 hours in this tour and it was fantastic. It was at an easy pace, not hurried, and we were given a lot of information. We were able to visit many memorials that otherwise would have taken us a couple of days to do on our own. Highly recommend it!!
We enjoyed this tour very much. We cruised around in air conditioned comfort and heard a lot of information Id never heard before. We were also given 20 minutes or so to explore on our own
Did the night tour. Ari, our guide, was amazing! So full of knowledge, friendly, personable and great photography skills (helpful when you want both people in the picture). The sites were beautiful but as we learned from a different tour, it truly is the guide that makes the difference!!
We toured with Steve he was awesome!! Very informative. I would highly recommend this tour. It s a small tour we got to see everything. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Well worth the money.
We toured with Dean and it was an excellent experience. Not only was he very professional and knowledgeable, but he was very accommodating to all members of our small group. I highly recommend his tour!
I should say their representative is very unreliable, and is cheating any chance she gets.I regret doing business with Gayle, hope I never have to deal with her again.
I took the four hour day tour.I was in a group of three people touring, so when you see the words small groups, believe it. I saw more in the short time I was in DC by taking this tour than my children saw in a week, and I felt like the tour was highly personalized, mostly because our tour guide, Dean, was really nice and made sure all of us were happy with what we had seen when he picked us up and if there was anything not on his itinerary that we would like to see. He made sure to keep our time to what was advertised, and we didnt take advantage of him by asking to go somewhere he hadnt planned, but I have a very strong feeling that if we had asked to go somewhere that would have taken us over time, not only would he have taken us, but he would have known the history of the place we wanted to go. Hes that good. If you have four hours to kill in DC during the daytime, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!
Incredible night tour of the monuments - the amount of artistic thought that goes into the lighting of the monuments is impressive, and this tour was relaxed and the guides were excellent! Highly recommend!
Dean was our guide for the day. He was very informative & knowledgeable adding more information than we expected.. The best of small group tours there is in Washington DC.If you are wanting to tour DC book with the best. MJG Bham, Al
I took a night tour with Gayle, Mike Cooke was the driver. It was amazing. I saw parts of DC that I never knew existed.
The tour with Steve was very enjoyable and informative. He definatly knows his history! They were even kind enough to hand out bottles of water on a hot day. The tour hit a lot of the major monuments in DC and the 4 hours flew by. Definatly recommend this company to anyone looking for a DC tour!
Great time, guide was very entertaining and informative. Glad we found them
Gr8. Best tour in Washington
Awesome tour!
Daniel was an awesome guide! He had lots of cool information to share and made the tour very informative, interesting and fun! I would highly recommend Monuments by Moonlight especially if you can get Daniel as your guide!
