The DC The Lights Tour offers you an incredible look at the lights of the nation's capitol. After the sun sets over the city, Washington DC changes faces. The elegant city takes on a different hue, with sparkling lights and beautiful displays everywhere. This tour gives you the best way to experience that beauty and wonder for yourself. Your tour will begin with the Old Post Office, which was completed in 1899. The 315-foot clock tower is an amazing sight and is the third tallest point in the modern city.

Here, your tour guide will get off the shuttle with you and explain the building's history, as well as the area surrounding it. The WWII Memorial is the next stop on the tour, where you will be able to honor the memories of all those who gave their lives in service during this horrific conflict. The Jefferson Memorial is next up on the tour, where you will enjoy even more history and the beautiful lights that illuminate the memorial after dark.
