Traveller Tips

Future tourists, my advice is to follow the red light at night, take time to admire the monuments instead of snapping photos the whole time, and listen to the tour guide as they will explain what to do.
I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and families.

Evening Monuments Tour with Larry and Chuck
Karen_E, Mar 2023
We’ve been on a lot of bus tours and this one stands out as one of the best! Our driver was Chuck and our tour guide was Larry and they were both fantastic. It was very informative and Larry has a great sense of humor.

Great guide
Susan_M, Mar 2023
TY was a great guide; knowledgeable without being overwhelming. He gave us all his phone number, and two of us had to use it when we got separated at MLK due to the crowds.

Went solo and felt safe!!! Guide and driver looked out for me to make sure I was accounted for. Made me feel safe.
Jenny_W, Mar 2023
Susan, narrator was extremely knowledgeable. Chris was our bus driver and he was very concerned about everyone’s safety and making sure everyone was accounted for. The views at night are really neat to see. You need to see them during the day as well.

I’d do it again
Marla_R, Mar 2023
Our tour guide and bus driver were great. I have not experienced too many drivers that are easy on the brakes and gas. This guy was top notch. And our guide knew her business and presented it fantastically.

Kittiya_R, Mar 2023
We’re enjoying out ride and love Larry&Charles. But for 3 hr. tour with the price $66 we should received some drink at least bottle of water that would be nicer. Just my suggestion and opinion.

Celebrating daughter's birthday with history
Miriam_M, Mar 2023
Our tour occurred on 3/11 with a full bus. Everyone was nice, our tour guide was Ukrainian and very knowledgeable. It can be difficult to see everything through the windows at times but once we stopped it was worth it. We took great pictures but the highlight was the bus driver who offered us to stay on the bus while waiting for the Uber so we didn't freeze outside. We struck up a nice conversation and it was a wonderful end to the tour.
