Your guide isn't just touring DC, he lives here. As a professional historian and DC resident, he connects the Capitol, Supreme Court, and Library of Congress to the city you're actually standing in, not a script recited from memory. Inside the Capitol, a docent leads you through the Rotunda, Statuary Hall, and the Crypt, while your guide adds the context that makes those rooms matter. Add in tickets handled for you and a small group capped at 16, and you get a history tour built around depth and access, not just checking landmarks off a list.
