Wonderful experience with our guide! - Our guide, I believe his name was Duane, was wonderful! What struck me and my companions was how he showed not just his knowledge but his love and excitement in describing our nation’s Capitol. He was also very familiar with Capitol staff who all seemed glad to see him.
