Jim was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and gave us historical, architectural information that greatly enhanced our experience. Great day!
Denise_S, Jun 2026
A great deal of walking in the weather outside. Bring an umbrella for sunny rainy days. I thought their would be more indoor stops on the tour. Supreme Court bldg closed. However, my guide Jim was extremely perceptive to this and walked 1 half mile to show me where to get a capital tour inside. Much appreciation to him! Feel a refund should be given me.

It’s a must! Maribeth has such passion for showing our history, telling stories and sharing tidbits not commonly known.
So much to see and experience,,and yet I feel we experienced so much more through her eyes!

This was a great experience for the whole family! Our tour guide was Brenda, and she did a great job sharing a lot of information in a very engaging way. She was a wonderful storyteller! I was traveling with my parents, my husband and our four kids ages one through 12, and it was a great experience for all of us. Learned so much in just 2.5 hours.
Karen_S, Sep 2025
Our tour guide, Brenda, was absolutely terrific in leading an informative and interesting journey into our capital’s history. Learning how the early founders built the capital for the two houses of legislative law, a tour the US Supreme Court and actually observe a petition in the chamber, and the zenith, the spectacular Jefferson Library of Congress. Not to be missed. All walking tour, with a few flights of steps but well worth it.
Debra_M, Aug 2025
Beautiful building to visit, interesting history and that was so interesting and our glad was well versed in history. We thought she went on and on way too much. All people don’t need everything spelled out. I was a bit long.

This was extremely informative! Kate was our tour guide and she was absolutely incredible. I recommend a bottle of water and refilling your water in the different places as you know.

Amazing views outside the Capitol. Loved seeing the beautiful Library of Congress. Especially Thomas Jefferson's personal book collection. Also really enjoyed seeing Supreme Court.
Samantha_H, Mar 2025
Donna was very knowledgeable. Seeing the Supreme Court building as well as the library of congress was amazing. We took a tunnel over to the Capitol building and had options to sit in on the senate and house of representatives who were in session. I was a really neat experience.
Nader_A, Mar 2025
Brenda was an incredible guide! Despite the Supreme Court being unexpectedly closed, she quickly pivoted and took us to the House gallery instead. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and adaptability made the Capitol Hill, Supreme Court & Library of Congress tour unforgettable. Highly recommend!
