Washington After Dark Tour
Our guide, Douglas, was absolutely wonderful! His insight and the information he shared was magnificent. It was amazing. You could tell he REALLY enjoys his job and takes pride in making sure everyone knows as much as they can about the places we stopped. His favorite - the FDR memorial - was not on my MUST SEE list, but after hearing Douglas' narrations I was extremely impressed. I would love to have ALL my tours with Douglas. He should be commended for his dedication and passion he has for the DC memorials.
-Jean Clarke, Plano, TX Mount Vernon and Old Town Alexandria Tour
The tour was great but Mt Vernon was bombarded with kids from close up, there was a long line to see the mansion. Also I thought that the gardens would be more breathtaking. Overall a very good way to spend 35 dollars.
-Crystal Duncan, Sitka, AK DC After Dark
Great tour. A really interesting view of the monuments at dusk and after dark. Only the Roosevelt Monument was too dark to appreciate and should be moved to the daytime tours.
