Take the trip - Great time. Just enough time at each location to see everything and take pictures. We enjoyed it tremendously. We learned interesting facts about the city as well. Since it was a small group it was comfortable, not rushed, and you could hear everything.

Really appreciated the... - Really appreciated the insights and covering so many monuments on the tour. Much easier than trying to get to all of them on our own and seeing the beauty of them lit up at night time was special too!

Outstanding Night Tour! - We were able to see so much. Ken's knowledge of History is outstanding and I'm a History teach saying that. Ken is so kind and passionate about the information and monuments he is sharing. I highly recommend his tour.

A Monumental Night Tour - Our tour guide was excellent. Ken knew all of the back stories and provided us with 3 full hours of seeing all of the monuments and important sites and buildings of DC and surrounding areas. I highly recommend this tour rather than a large bus group. Ken was personable, knowledgeable and enjoyable to be with.

Excellent Tour - Ken is AWESOME! - By far the best tour that we booked while in the Capitol. All of the sights and none of the crowds. The van was impeccably clean and comfortable. Ken was a consummate guide. Knowledgeable and courteous, accommodating, and clear in instruction and delivery. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a different view of the monuments than the norm, and who values that extra effort from your guide. 5 out of 5 even seems too low.

A time was had - We had such a great time with Heart of DC Night Tours! Ken was incredibly informative, funny, and made sure everyone had an awesome experience. While the tour itself could’ve felt cookie-cutter, Ken’s personality made it special — he took the time to speak with each person and truly engage with the group. His Halloween costume was perfect for the occasion! 🎃 Wishing you and your wife a very happy anniversary, Ken — thanks for making our night in DC memorable!

Best small group evening monuments tour hands down! - This tour was a small evening group tour, Ken was very knowledgeable and we spent just the right amount of time at each monument. This tour actually provided about 12 stops, seeing all the must see monuments. Ken got us as close to the monuments as he could so we didn’t have to walk further than necessary. He is a small business owner, please support him as he was fabulous!

A great way to see the DC monuments and get an appreciation of their history. - We took the night tour with Ken last night and it was excellent. Ken certainly knows the City, there were severe traffic problems last night, but he got us around all the key monuments with no problems. He gave us a great insight and interesting commentary on the history of the City as we travelled between the different monuments. We had a great night, and got some amazing pictures. Ken was very patient and polite with everyone, and kept a good pace to pack everything in. I would thoroughly recommend taking a tour with him.

Night tour was an incredible experience - This night tour was an incredible experience—seeing the monuments beautifully lit up in a small group made all the difference. Ken, our guide, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and went out of his way to ensure everyone was comfortable, informed, and safe throughout the evening. His local insights, humor, and attention to detail truly made the tour top-notch—I’d highly recommend it!
