Great tour

Jimmy_K, May 2023

The buildings’ architecture display grandeur. The interior of the LIC is opulent! The SCOTUS inspires both pomp and utter respect. Highly recommend seeing for yourself.

Capitol Hill, Supreme Court, Library of Congress Tour

Meredith_S, May 2023

My family had a great time on this tour! Tim was very knowledgeable and even kept my almost-adult children entertained!

Fabulous experience

Kimberly_W, May 2023

Such a wonderful tour of the Supreme Court and Library of Congress!! Also, the Capitol was so interesting to check out and experience the House and Senate. My tour guide was absolutely lovely and full of knowledge. She kept us on track so we got to see everything we wanted.

Thank you

Elena_B, May 2023

We got a lot of impressions, the tour was very informative, the guide told a lot of interesting information. Thank you.

Not worth the money!

Janice_D, May 2023

We met at 1:30 on April 38. After walking in the rain, we stood in the rain for 15 minutes while the guide gave us information that could have been given inside. We did not have enough time to complete the tour. She gave us ticket for House of Representatives and the senate and left. We weren’t able to see the house of representative because we had to rush back to get are things that were checked for security. I would not recommend this tour.

Great guide!

Martha_T, Apr 2023

Annemarie was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the inner workings of Washington DC! Loved all the info on history as well!

Great tour; I Recommend it 100%

Ramn_K, Apr 2023

Fascinating. The guide knows a lot and also is a considerate and kind person. We recommend totally taking this tour.

Great tour and tour guide

Penny_L, Apr 2023

We met our guide Chris Robin at the decided on location and he provided us with a great tour. We were so excited to see and hear about the Library of Congress, Supreme Court and the Capital. He shared so much information and really made the tour personalized for us. It was a great time.

Capitol building history...

Francis_K, Apr 2023

Capitol building history and site were very good. Would prefer to see the dome. The tour was a little rushed. We should be warned with emphasis about bringing food and water.

Worthwhile.

Karen_R, Mar 2023

Our guide was informative and fun! She went above and beyond - the passes to see the houses in session was a special experience.

DC Private tour

Karyn_R, Mar 2023

Kate was a great tour guide. She had great stories to share throughout the tour. As it was a private tour with just Kate, myself and my daughters, we were able to ask many questions. I would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Not very good.

Peter_R, Mar 2023

The Supreme Court was closed. Shouldn’t the guide be aware of this? The tour does not include a tour inside the Capitol despite the tour operator assuring me it does. However, somehow our guide got us the last tour of the day inside the Capitol. Go figure!?

Good day of history

Richard_L, Mar 2023

Good small group setting. Tony did an excellent job. Extremely informative with great anecdotal stories. Well paced . Right amount of time at each building.

Fun and fresh, even for jaded teens!

Patrick_M, Mar 2023

Maureen was a FANTASTIC guide with engaging and unique stories to make things relateable and fresh, even for jaded teenagers (who actually raved about the experience after).

Worth the cash

Steven_T, Mar 2023

We toured library if congress. It was spectacular. Supreme court was excellent and same with capitol. Fun stories we did not know were explained. Would suggest everyone do the tour.

Great overview

Jazz89, Mar 2020

we toured the outside and inside three of the most important buildings in DC: Capitol Building, Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. Donna the guide provided very clear history and function of each of these institutions, with great story telling. Its a great overview if you want to have an idea about these buildings in a single tour.

Best tour we did in DC

Julie_H, Mar 2020

Wow! Donna was amazing! She had tons of energy, and so much knowledge about what we were visiting. Honestly we could have followed her around all day! Highly recommend!

What an experience!

deannaleebutts, Jan 2020

Meghan was absolutely amazing! She was informative, funny, and a pleasure to learn from. The tour was the perfect length. Thank you!

Trenton Boyz Visit the Capital Center

WILLIAM_B, Nov 2019

Our guide, Richard Robinson III was the best, His knowledge and ability to navigate the labyrinths of the Capital Center were greatly appreciated by our group. As an added treat he took the group to visit the Folger Shakespeare Library, not to be missed if you are a fan of Shakespeare fan!

A DC getaway.

The tour was excellent & Brenda was so informative. We were very fortunate to have her all to ourselves ( two couples).
