Monuments by Moonlight tour

We took the Monuments by Moonlight tour around DC and it was the highlight of our trip. The lighting around all of the monuments really focused our attention on all of the details. Even the kids thought is was a great way to see the city. Seeing the Washington monument reflected by moonlight in the tidal basin was magical. A really stunning, ';Gotta'; do.

We just returned this weekend from D.C. and took the moonlight tour, and I will agree with you that it was a highlight of our tour.We also took in a tour of Arlington Cemetery and watched the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier.It makes you feel very proud to be an american.

Was this the Trolley car tour?

We took the tour last night and it was on the trolley.Great driver(Dave)very informative and also went out of his way to drop us off near our hotel (ES on 22nd)A must tour.

What are the ages of your kids? We%26#39;ve looked at possibly doing this tour. Our kids are 7-1/2 and 11. They are good walkers, not big complainers, and are very excited about going to DC. But the Washington Walks website seems to discourage the Monuments by Moonlight tour for kids under 12. We%26#39;re trying to figure out if we should go ahead %26amp; do it or do the DC by Foot tour (which is shorter) and then go back to see the monuments at night on our own.

We%26#39;ve never been to DC before, so any suggestions/advice is welcome. We%26#39;ll be going the last week of June, so I also thought seeing the monuments at night might help us avoid some of the heat.

Thanks!
