Highly recommended. Ask for Tyrone - Tyrone our guide was outstanding! He connected with my 11 year old son right away and kept him engaged the entire time. His knowledge and stories definitely made the experience a more memorable one. I would highly recommend him to anyone booking a tour. 5 stars!

Very efficient and thoughtful - Sadly my mum had a fall as we were walking to meet our guide. But I am writing as they messaged twice to see where we were, I explained. They then messaged 45 mins later to see where we were. Thoughtful but we didn't get to see Capitol Hill etc.

Capital tour with Rochelle! - This tour was by far the most informative tour we had. Rochelle was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Capital and all branches of Government. She was patient and very friendly. It was an amazing tour and we highly recommend it. Make sure to ask for Rochelle if you can!

Great tour! - Amanda was great. Wonderful small tour!! She was very knowlegable, personable, and kept us moving so we could see everything but not too fast so my 70+ mother could keep up.

Monday the Congress... - Monday the Congress Library was closed, and we were in the rain waiting for over an hour before getting in Capital Hill. I thought we were paying for easy access to both. Once we were inside, it was the Capital Hill guide gave us the explanation and tour, not Viator tour. So what was I paying Viator for?

Terrible - This is a terrible tour operator. The meeting point is not accurate, when trying to contact the guide wouldn't answer. I requested a refund and have heard nothing back. Do yourself a favour and just go in and join a free tour.
