Experience the Capitol Hill tour that started it all in 2017. Often copied, always the best.
Meet your guide outside the Library of Congress and begin your adventure.
We head to the Supreme Court (exterior only) for a photo stop where your guide will discuss the complex history of the institution, notable justices, landmark cases, and the secrets of the building.
Next we head to the US Capitol where your guide will give you background about the heart of American democracy and fill you in on the little-known history and stories before providing passes to a tour of the historic rooms of the Capitol.
Finally we take a tunnel to the Library of Congress, the world's largest library. Your guide's reserved passes will bring you into the heart of knowledge. You will see Thomas Jefferson's library and see the grandeur of the Main Reading Room.

4.00The overall experience is good. Took a minute to find the guide as they didn’t have any signs. The excursion in the Capitol is live but through headphones. The Library is absolutely beautiful.
Amazing experience with Meg

5.00This was a wonderful tour! Booked it during government shutdown so unfortunately couldn't enter any of the public buildings, but Meg went above and beyond and got us into a live Senate session. She was so knowledgeable and taught me so much about the history and current state of the buildings and government institutions on the east end of the national mall. Thank you so much, I'll be back!
Must book!

5.00Although we were unable to enter the Capital building due to the shutdown, we were provided with a comprehensive overview of the Capital buildings and unique glimpses of its history and construction. We were privileged to enter the Supreme Court building and learn of its operations and personalities. Our outstanding and friendly guide shared with us her expertise and knowledge of both the legislature and judiciary systems of the USA. Our final discoveries were of Shakespeare within the Folger Shakespeare Library. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and well worth considering to enhance your understanding of American history.

4.00Informative and enjoyable. Our guide James was amazing and very knowledgeable about the buildings we saw. The tour had to be altered due to the government shutdown, but it was still great!
Only tour outside of building area, not worth at all.
