Great! Fun! Worth it!!
Great! Fun! Knowledgeable! Treated like family! This is a wonderful way to see the highlights, get your bearings in this historic city and even meet some other cool people. Our driver was Cortland and we’d highly recommend him, specifically!!!

Exceptional Tour
Our tour guide was Evelyn with Unscripted Tours. Evelyn was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun to spend time with! She knew the Capitol rotunda would be closing, so she hustled us in for the last tour in the early afternoon. She also got us tickets to the house chamber where we saw two bills pass. In the Library of Congress she explained the sculptures, murals and mosaics on the walls and ceiling. She also told us so much US history and we learned so much from her.

Tour critique
security precautions did not allow close access to either the White House or Capital building. Not the guide's fault.
