DCAcar's semi-narrated tours, conducted by professional chauffeurs cover all the main monuments in Washington, D.C. You can customize your 3-hour tour by selecting stops that interest your group. At the start, ask your chauffeur about must-see landmarks.
As the sun sets and the city lights begin to twinkle, our tour transforms into the magical DC After Dark Tour, an exceptional experience that showcases the beauty of Washington DC at night. Imagine the Smithsonian Castle not just as a historic edifice, but as a glowing beacon under the night sky. The FBI Building, the Old Post Office Pavilion, and the National Gallery of Art take on a new life, bathed in lights that outline their majestic architecture, making them must-see stops on any Washington DC night tours.
The National Archives Museum, with its precious documents, seems even more sacred under the gentle illumination. The U.S. Capitol, standing proud against the dark sky, is a sight to behold, with its dome lit up, symbolizing the enduring nature of democracy. This view is a highlight of the private night tour Washington DC, offering an intimate glimpse into the heart of American governance.
Our journey continues as we admire the monuments dedicated to American heroes and leaders, now even more poignant against the backdrop of the night. The World War II Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the memorials to Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and others are transformed into places of reflection and beauty, their details highlighted in ways only the night can reveal. These moments are the essence of DC night tours, where history is not only seen but felt.
The serene views over the Tidal Basin, the reflective pool at the Lincoln Memorial, and the solemnity of Arlington National Cemetery are enhanced by the quiet of the evening, offering a unique perspective on these iconic symbols of American valor and history. This tranquil setting elevates the experience, making it unlike any other tour in the city.
So, buckle up for an amazing tour of Washington DC, where every turn tells a story, and the spirit of America shines through, especially under the enchanting glow of the moonlight. Let's make some memories together on this unforgettable journey through the heart of our nation's capital at night.

"Recently used DCAcar for a nightime monument tour in DC for an extended family group. A great process, start to finish. Mary, the rep who fielded my initial inquiry, had great communication and documentation. And the driver, Gregory, was great...picking us up on time at a pre-appointed restaurant location (calling to let us know his exact location...as the restaurant had a "streatery" blocking access directly in front of the restaurant), getting us close to the various monuments, and dropping us off at two different hotels. While not a "guided" tour per se, Gregory answered every question we had and waited with the van while we spent time at each monument. We never felt rushed. The van was 14-passenger Mercedes Sprinter with raised ceiling...felt very luxurious and clean. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely use DCAcar for future vists to the nation's capital."

"We booked Kenneth for our first night in DC to see the monuments and the DC highlights, especially the Christmas lights. When our flight was delayed, we rescheduled for a later pick up time easily, and he was patient with our group of 6. His Suburban is incredibly comfortable, and he told us lots of stories about not only the different areas of DC, but of his own experiences growing up in the area and all of the famous and interesting people he’s driven in the past.
We got to go to exactly where we wanted to go on our first night in town to get our bearings. Looking back, we should have hired him to pick us up from the airport, too, instead of dealing with the madness of rental cars and the shuttles.
I highly recommend, especially for a large ground like ours.
Thank you, Kenneth."

"Great experience! We took our kids (12, 10, and 4), so we knew it would be too much to see walking - it was a late night, we got to see all the monuments and sights that we otherwise would not have been able to fit into the trip. Our driver Kevin was awesome and very knowledgeable about the different stops."

"Love experiencing the monuments at night. The driver gave us great service and always got us close to the monuments and was always in place to pick us up after we visited the sites. Crowds are low and the monuments beautifully lighted. Perfect way to see the National Mall."

"Kevin was an excellent driver that showed me and my family around. He braved the rain and cold and guided us around to all the monuments. Absolutely gorgeous to see at night and I highly recommend. Kids loved it too!"
