Top things to do in Washington DC in Summer (Updated September 2026)

The tour was amazing. James and Chris did a fantastic job. They brought a wealth of information which enhanced the experience. We did the night tour and if we had time, we would have done the day tour as well. Spectacular job James and Chris!

James and Kris made this 3 hour trip special. A few little info nuggets, like Easter eggs were more than the routine stops and sights. Nighttime in DC is magical and we were blessed with mild clear weather. James is super knowledgeable and had the backstory on many of the monuments. 3 hours was just right, enough time at most stops and we got a good idea of the ones to go back to do deeper dive.

This is a great way to get around the Arlington National Cemetery and learn about the history behind it. Seeing the "changing of the guard " at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier was a very moving experience. And there are so many notable people interned there.

Jason was a very knowledgeable guide.

First of all Mike the tour guide was a great guide Very informative and amusing. There was a good mix of people. We covered a wonderful mix of the best things to see at night in over two and a half hours. Very good value.

Trevor did an amazing job he knew his history. He was an amazing story teller. Would do another. Tour. With. Trevor in a heartbeat

I booked for people with my job, and all five of them stated they enjoyed themselves. I recommend the lunch cruise.

It is impossible to get tickets on .gov so this is a great alternative. This is legitimate but be careful because there are a lot of fraudulent offers out there! Great views of entire area.

Guide was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. It was an excellent walk through the spirit history of DC.

We LOVED our tour of Arlington. Very interesting and was intriguing to watch changing of the guard. Would definately recommend

Cute little car with a nice, informative guide. We had a great time! We got out of the car several times for a short walk to see the different monuments and take pictures. We brought my 81 y/o grandma. It was a little hot this time of year for her (early September) Other than that, we enjoyed the experience very much!

Light walking, very interesting tour about the night Lincoln was assassinated. Tour includes Ford’s theater, museum in theater, and Peterson House

Fun place for kids, something new to experience and it’s not to far of a drive from Virginia Beach, check it out.

Very easy experience for my friend and me . We are in our. 80’s and the whole tour was good. We stopped and got off to admire. Our. Favorite memorials, saw the changing of the guard in its emtirety (no rush thru at Arlington) Rewarding experience the whole tour. Friendly drivers, tour guides and other personnel..Looking foreword to cherry time.would book again.

enjoyed having such a knowledgeable tour guide. It was obvious he knew his stuff and was very friendly. Pointing out details as we went that most likely I wouldn't have known about without a tour guide.

Had a wonderful time seeing all of DC with the informative, jokey commentary and lively music.🎧 Sharia was the perfect driver, kind, friendly and just all round lovely… thank you Sharia ☺️
