Guide was very knowledgeable - my gps on the phone had me going the wrong direction on our meeting place. Thank goodness I had received a text message reminding me of the tour as I called that number and the agent was extremely helpful & patient getting me oriented to meet them on time.

Excellent tour of Capital and Library of Congress.

Fantastic Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

The Capitol and Library of Congress is simply a can’t miss tour. So much stunning detailed architecture and history everywhere. We really enjoyed our tour guide James. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the many aspects of these buildings and DC, with some comedic zingers to make the tour a delight.
