DC Monuments by Night: Open-Top Bus Tour of Illuminated Landmarks
Overview
See Washington DC's monuments and memorials the way they were meant to be seen at night — floodlit, dramatic, and unobstructed from the open-air deck of our convertible luxury coach.
This guided evening tour takes you past the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, WWII Memorial, Washington Monument, and the US Capitol, with panoramic open-top views of each illuminated landmark.
Your expert local guide shares the stories behind the monuments while you soak in the DC skyline under the stars. Weather turning? Our convertible roof closes for full climate-controlled comfort — so the tour goes on, rain or shine. Perfect for first-time visitors, photography lovers, and anyone who wants to experience why DC is considered one of the world's most beautiful cities after dark.
