  • Washington DC night tour of iconic landmarks

    Washington DC night tour of iconic landmarks

    4.8· 38 reviewsFrom ₹3,967

    Two hours walking tour — illuminated sights of the White House, Lincoln Memorial, and more, without daytime crowds, plus next-day entry to the National Air and Space Museum.

    There were just two of us on the tour with our guide, Keith, who was excellent. He asked about our preferences and adapted the itinerary to allow us more time at our favored monuments. Keith was highly knowledgeable about DC history, and I gained a lot of interesting trivia. Although our hotel was outside the usual pick-up/drop-off area, he dropped us off directly. My only concern was with the booking process through Viator; they subcontracted with Jupiter Legend. I received billing and vouchers from Viator, but they offered no direct contact number. Until Keith arrived, I had no information about who would pick us up or what kind of vehicle to expect. This issue stemmed from a lack of communication from Viator, not the driver. I later learned that each DC tour is assigned to different operators, which I was unaware of when making my booking.juliesS3014HG on the Washington DC night tour of iconic landmarks tour

    It can get a little breezy with the windows open, so it’s wise to bring an extra layer. However, having the open windows added to the enjoyment of our experience.Linda_M on the Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley Tour of Washington DC with 15 Stops tour
