About This Tour
Nothing is more magical or memorable than exploring the illuminated monuments of Washington DC at night. This 2-hour guided tour begins with a breathtaking panoramic view of the DC skyline from Arlington Ridge, then crosses the iconic Arlington Memorial Bridge to the National Mall.
See the Lincoln Memorial glowing under spotlights, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall lit with reverence, and the Washington Monument piercing the night sky. The reflection pools create mirror-like surfaces that double the beauty of every monument you see.
This tour covers more ground than the daytime walk and includes stops at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial — both spectacular when illuminated against the night sky. Your guide brings history alive with stories that feel even more powerful in the quiet of evening.
