I would like to update my review. After leaving a one star review, the business owner did reach out to me and made me aware of their 100% satisfaction guarantee. Because of this, I did follow the instructions and submitted a refund request. They reviewed my request and offered me a 100% refund within days. While the tour didn't work as planned, they did stand behind guarantee and made it right. Kudos to them.

Best night trolley tour ever. We found this trip on viator. They also have agents in Union Train station. The driver was very informative. I would definitely do it again

I only had one day to explore DC. After the White House tour I scheduled months prior, I walked around a bit and realized how far many of the monuments and memorials are from each other. I would've rented a bike or scooter, but I was with a friend who couldn't ride either, so we looked into these buses cruising around. What we liked about Old Town Trolley is that they allow you to hop off at any of the 14 major attraction stops, and the next trolley runs about every 15 to 20 minutes from 9 AM till 4 PM. The entire tour without getting off is about 90 minutes. They also have night tours which I've heard are pretty good. I also liked that the drivers provide live narration with a great sense of humor! Each driver seems to have their own style in story telling, but they are very informative. They have a tip jar, but I didn't have cash on me. I asked the driver if he had Venmo or some type of cash app and he didn't! *Suggestion for the manager reading these reviews: have the tour drivers set up other methods of receiving tip other than cash! We got our 1-day ticket for about $50 at the Welcome Center, but prices may vary depending on deals and where you purchase them. I believe they have 3-day passes as well for those who wish to spend longer periods of time at the stops. It can get pretty chilly with the open windows, so bundle up during the colder months!

We took the Moonlight Tour tonight. We had a great, funny driver guide named MJ. He was excellent!! We toured the city saw the monuments with a stop at FDR/MLK, Iwo Jima and Lincoln Memorial. We drove past many. It was a nice evening and an enjoyable ride. Highly recommend MJ and the Old Town Trolley tour.

Old Town Trolley night tour I think I the best. Make sure you get on MJ's Trolley. From the get go, he has you laughing. Very well informed, knows just about every thing about the city. He took us all around the area to all the major sights, and stopped at 4, Martin Luther King, FDR, Lincoln, and Iwo Jima at Arlington cemetery. If MJ did not have a answer about something he would put his hand in the Air and tell it like it is " I ..Don't... Know " I give the tour 5 stars l give him 10 stars. He made the tour well worth the 60.00 I paid.

Took the Monuments by Moonlight tour through Old Towne Trolley. It was fantastic. Our driver MJ was beyond awesome. His knowledge of DC and the monuments as well as his personality made it the best tour we've ever taken. Seeing the monuments at night is completely different than during the day. Would highly recommend taking the tour if you're in the DC area. If you get the chance, ask for MJ as your guide.

I was a guest on a Monuments at Midnight tour with my two work colleagues and I was blown away at this experience. My friend who bought the tickets was able to buy them through our hotel which was an added convenience. Our tour guide, Jace, was the most knowledgeable tour guide I've ever experienced in my travels. He was so detailed, thoughtful, passionate and educated on all things DC. I really appreciated how he kept he trip entertaining even as the hours grew late. Jace's narration was funny, witty, and filled with fun facts I never have heard before. I would definitely book again with this company and hope to get on Jace's bus next time.

Smiley our guide was AMAZING!!! When I go back to DC I want him to always give the tour. So fun, insightful, thoughtful, educational, safe, and kind to his passengers! He even identified all these other buildings as we passed by them that weren't listed in the description. SUPER COOL! He goes above and beyond to make sure you have a SUPERB EXPERIENCE!! Top notch guide!!

Ask the Community - Old Town Trolley Tours

Hi - is there a transfer /shuttle from the hotels to union station for the monuments by moonlight tour that departs?

I don't believe so. It did not for us but we were not staying in the city. We took Metra there then a uber back go early there is a line to board the busses and we stood in line for about a half HR before we were let on a bus. Have fun

We are local to the area and love history, spooky stories and corny jokes so for us this is a fun date :-). The tour began at the Old Stone House where we were checked in and divided into two groups of about 18 people each. Everyone in our group was from out of town except us and our amazing tour guide Sonia. She effortlessly led us from site to site while allowing time for questions and photos. She also made sure our group stayed together and safely crossed the streets. I was concerned that it would be hard to hear given the traffic and Saturday night usual cacophony that is Georgetown but that generally wasn't a problem. We didn't see any ghosts - DRAT! But we did have fun and learn some history along the way. We would recommend this tour company and this particular tour.

While he was nice, he didn't have a lot to add off the track I pretty sure he had memorized. I actually feel like I heard most about which monuments had the best restrooms than much of anything else (we never asked about bathroom situations). Would I book this again, no. Here is what I learned, you still walk a fair amount into these monuments from where they drop you in the golf cart vs. the people who are on the bikes and scooters. If you're really looking for the least amount of walking and able to operate those that would save you time and money. Overall, there was no value for the price tag for us and the guide kind of ruined the experience.

Nathan, our tour guide was so friendly, personable and most important knowledgeable without feeling like we were in a classroom being lectured. He gave us plenty of time at all the sites. He even dropped us off at a Metro station after the tour and told us how to get to where we wanted to go, Postal Museum. Dropped us at Gallery Place and took the red line two stops to Union Station and the museum was right next door! Just wanted to make sure Nathan was acknowledged for his premiere service and I wanted to let you know how much my sister and I enjoyed the tour and set up our Saturday for a great day. We were on the first tour of the day to see where everything was and then spent the rest of the day going back to those places we wanted to see more of. And there were only 4 of us on the tour! THAT has never happened to me. A microphone for the tour guide and speaker wouuld be helpful if you are sitting further back in the golf cart. But overall. . . a 10 out of 10!
