Perfect first morning in Washington DC - The tour was well-structured and informative and just the right length. Our guide, Maureen, was excellent, combining enthusiasm and knowledge about her city with a sense of fun. All in all a great experience and good value too.

Best tour if you want to learn about the American government system - We had the best tour guide, Maribeth, for the Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and Capitol Building. She was very thorough in her explanations and knew almost EVERYTHING. What I appreciated most about Maribeth was that she meets you where you’re at and if she doesn’t know, she won’t make anything up and says, “Great question! I’m not sure but I’ll have to look it up.” Our family enjoyed this tour very much and gained so much knowledge/appreciation for the America Government. Highly recommend going on this tour and try to go with Maribeth if you can!

Great DC Tour by Annemarie ! - Fantastic Tour Experience! I had an amazing time on the tour! Annemarie did a wonderful job sharing fascinating facts about the Capitol and the Library of Congress. Her attention to detail and engaging information made the experience unforgettable. She also made sure we had time to rest and take photos, which was much appreciated.
