Overview

Big Bus is the only official bus tour partner of the National Park Service; no one gets you closer to the best memorials, monuments, and landmarks of Washington, DC.

Watch DC transform from a bustling capital into a glowing city of monuments and history. The Sunset Tour takes you on a journey past the city’s most iconic landmarks just as the sun sets and the monuments begin to shine. With engaging storytelling, stunning photo opportunities, and comfortable open-top sightseeing, it’s one of the most memorable ways to experience the nation’s capital.

As evening falls, climb aboard an open-top double-decker and enjoy sweeping views of DC at its most beautiful. Travel through historic streets and along the National Mall as your expert guide shares the stories behind America’s most famous landmarks.

Watch the Washington Monument rise against the evening sky, admire the Lincoln Memorial reflected in the Reflecting Pool, and see the White House and U.S. Capitol illuminated after dark.
