Great Capital Hill Tour - Great and knowledgeable guide that kept us on schedule for the timed entry. Great way to see the US Capital on your schedule without the hassle of asking your legislative representative for tickets (which never seem to be available).

Old but new - Our guide was fabulous! Even though I have been to DC several times, I learn many new things. All Americans should tour DC to rekindle the pride of being an American.

Great tour guide - Dwayne! - Dwayne was great - we had a small group that worked out very well. He made the tour very interesting at both the Capitol building and the Library of Congress - btw, I think you may be thinking, "why would I want to go see a library?" It's a beautiful place and even more impressive when your guide tells you all the intricacies of the architecture.

No Tour. No information about this. - The day we booked our tour we were at the Capitol Hill on time, but could not reach the meeting place, Supreme Court, because the area was barrackaded. We were told the buildings and area were closed to the public because the Israeli Prime Minister was visiting. There was NO TOUR! There was no notice from you neither before or after the tour time! I would like a refund for my group.

I could not find the meeting point. - The meeting place did not match Google Maps. Then I looked for the address provided and there was no one there. I asked one guide from another company but he didn't know either. So I wasn't able to do the tour.
