    A personal tour of the capital
    Chris_B, May 2024
    Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, including understanding who was in her group and their background. She was connected to the community and the history of the capital. It was also nice to support a female-owned business.
    Awesome!

    The Library of Congress! And we didn’t expect that. Just breathtaking! The detail! And learning the history of ‘The Hill’. And our guide was amazing. She knew all the history, was able to answer all questions with sound knowledge, and Leo made the tour fun. Great experience!
    Lovely tour

    Good Combination of History and Architecture
    JAYNE_S, Apr 2024
    We had a knowledgeable guide who provided interesting information about the Capitol building, Supreme Court and Library of Congress. This was a nice combination of landmarks that are close together and very worth seeing.
    Excellent tour

    Great tour guide with lots of fun facts. Lots of stairs to climb up and down (elevators available). Really enjoyed it!

    Wonderful experience

    I really enjoyed my tour guide "Eli" he was very knowledgeable and friendly. I liked the way he explained the history and pointed out structures and things we didn't want to miss.
    Filled with pride! I love my country!
    Karen_W, Apr 2024
    Just being inside the Capitol was such a thrill, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride and unity as I stood there and took it all in with my family. It broke my heart to think of what happened there on J6. Our nation’s Capitol is simply beautiful!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable!!
    Highlight of our day at the Congressional Library and our Capitol.

    The Library of Congress is beautiful and not to be missed. The history provided by our guide was fascinating. Our tour was completed by visiting our Capitol.
    good intro to the Capitol and nearby landmark buildings
    Vincent_H, Mar 2024
    Our guide Eli was very knowledgeable and well-informed, and he had interesting anecdotes about not only the Capitol, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court buildings, but also the grounds and the House and Senate buildings nearby. Supreme Court isn't open on weekends, so that was a bit underwhelming, but the beauty and grandeur of the interior of the Library of Congress and the Capitol building, both inside and out, more than made up for it. It's a good value for the time and money we spent.
    Great tour

    Best experience in DC

    Becca was an exceptional tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and spoke clearly. Definitely enlightened my knowledge of US history. Was super excited to go inside the Supreme Court, added to the enjoyment of the tour. Highly recommend.
    Walk of wonder.
    Karen_H, Aug 2023
    Seeing the Capitol up close with very few people (no session) and a fantastic guide. The Library of Congress may be the most beautiful place I have seen in a long time. Will go back to Library in the future.
    Worthwhile tour

    Dan was a great guide, sharing the sights of Capitol Hill and the Library of Congress before escorting us to the Capitol tour
    Good alternative in obtaining passes to State Capital and Library of Congress
    Holly_C, Apr 2023
    John was our guide and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was nice using this tour to save the hassle of booking and obtaining individual passes. In addition, we get to ask questions and learn some history from John which we wouldn't have without this tour.
    Great tour!
    Deborah_O, Apr 2023
