Small group that made it easy to ask questions. Joe put out the effort to personalize it for each one of us.
Jena_P, Apr 2026
Excellent guide - very knowledgeable and personable. The small size of the group and the ear pieces provided made this tour excellent.
It would have been helpful to know that entering the Supreme Court is not possible on weekends. I would have scheduled the tour for another day if I it was clear upon booking.
KIRANCHANDRA_S, Apr 2026
It was a well organised tour, with audible information from our knowgeable guide.
Time was just enough to enjoy The Capitol, Library of Congress and The Supreme Court
Zoe_B, Apr 2026
Everything about the tour was amazing. We especially enjoyed the Library of Congress. It was our tour guides, Joe, inaugural tour but you wouldn't have known it. He was both knowledgeable and engaging.
Heidi_A, Apr 2026
Excellent tour and very knowledgeable tour guides however, the directions to the meeting point conflicted. Following the directions provided by Viator took us to the wrong side of the building.

Today our family of 4 (including children age 9 and 7) joined Jim’s Unscripted Lincoln Assassination Tour. What a fabulous experience!!! My husband and I each visited Ford’s Theater/Peterson’s House as children but today Jim brought history to life for ourselves and our 2 young kids. His knowledge and cadence kept us completely engaged and hanging onto each word as if we didn’t know how the story would end. This week our family has gone on at least 5 tours around DC but this tour was an absolute highlight. We highly recommend Unscripted Tours and the Lincoln Assassination Tour in particular.

Isiah’s tour was so fun and informative. The kids and adults loved it. We would definitely do this again.
Debra_H, Apr 2026
Isaiah was a fabulous guide! Our only concern was that both the House and Senate chambers were closed as well as Supreme Court building. These limiting factors should have been disclosed to us at the time of purchase.
Weisen_Z, Apr 2026
Very good 👍 experience!
We ❤️ every minute of the trip. A lot of information and the tour guide is very knowledgeable!
Thank you ☺️

It was fun and Isaiah was very attentive and spoke clearly. It was worth the money to go on this tour
Lavonne_H, Mar 2026
Fantastic way to see the Nation’s capital and the Library of Congress. We learned so many new points about the history of the buildings and how the founder’s shaped our history.
Christine_K, Mar 2026
Our family of four had a wonderful tour with Isaiah, who was a knowledgeable, professional, and insightful guide. He pointed out facts that won't be easily found in tour books or recited by guides, and he knows a lot about not only history but also the physical construction and design process behind the major buildings we toured (Library of Congress, Supreme Court, and Capitol Building). We had a delightful afternoon in large part thanks to him and his wonderful demeanor.

This is a small, personalized general tour of the Capitol and the Library of Congress, appropriate for older school aged children and adults.

Marco_R, Aug 2025
I really enjoyed the tour—it provided a great overview of three very interesting buildings. Isaiah was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience engaging.
Timothy_P, Aug 2025
Although a little quick it was a great tour. We even got to sit in on a senate session, rare for a Saturday.
Dianne_F, Jul 2025
Our tour guide Maeva was great and we really enjoyed the tour, but we’re disappointed that Supreme Court building was closed, and we could not go into the Senate or House of Representatives Chambers. If we had known that, we probably would have not scheduled the tour.
Steven_B, Jul 2025
You don’t really need this tour. You can go on your own. The primary tour guide is the person working at the capitol for the most part. Super busy day we went so felt like we were just kind of shuffled through a bunch of lines.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
We would like to clarify that this review is clearly not related to our company or the services we provide. Our company specializes exclusively in small group tours with no more than 14 guests per tour guide with a personalized attention and our own professional guides. We do not offer free tours or large group tours under any circumstances. Our tours includes the experience of the library of congress, Us Supreme Court and capitol hill.
The experience described in the review refers to a different type of service of just the Capitol Hill ,likely provided by some other company offering free or independent guide tours. This causes confusion for future travelers and unfairly affects our reputation.
We kindly request that this review be reviewed, analyzed, and considered for removal, as it does not reflect a genuine experience with our company. We are proud of our consistent five-star reviews, which reflect the high quality of service we provide, and it is essential that accurate information is presented to users.
Thank you for your attention and understanding.

This has been a wonderful tour. The Capitol and the Library of Congress are magnificent and historically rich buildings. We gained valuable insights into U.S. history. Maeve was an excellent guide, very communicative and friendly.

Isaiah was the best! Great communication before during and after the tour. Very informative and flexible with our group size! Highly recommend.
Deysi_B, May 2025
My family and I booked a trip on this tour and I had family members that were only Spanish speaking. They shared that this is one of the best tours they have been on. Sonia is very informative and kind. You walk around with a little headset that helps if you are hard of hearing. We went to additional locations that were so cool. I was so happy that I picked this trip. The tour started at 9 and we ended roughly at 12pm. Thank you so much Sonia! I had such a great time!
RobinK_G, May 2025
Very nice tour of The Supreme Court building, the Capitol Rotunda, House of Reps gallery, and the beautiful Library of Congress. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Be prepared to go through many security checks- the less you bring the better.
Amber_C, Apr 2025
Isaiah was a wonderful guide. We learned about the history of the country and buildings. We was very informative and I would book another tour woth him and his company.
