Got us entry when day tickets had been sold out. The tour guide was good - met us on time, gave us a little intro while walking, and then the capitol guide took over. After that, he led us though a tour of the Iibrary, and we could wander it on our own as well at the end of the tour. Nice experience.

Our tour guide Dwayne was great! Enthusiastic and super knowledgeable about The Capitol and Library of Congress. His breadth of information was impressive and he was open to any questions. We had a great sunny day for this tour. Lots of great photo opportunities inside and out. Highly recommend.

Terrible customer service. Non-existent, in fact. I booked the tour for my wife and I and three of our kids. The morning of the tour happened to be the Supreme Court argument about one of the abortion issues, so understandably there was a large crowd/protest in front of the Court (where the tour meets). This all delayed the start of our tour substantially. Once inside the Capitol (which was to be the mere start of the tour), we experienced more delays with the tour guide trying to get the tickets for our group's entrance. This all ultimately led to my family and I having to bail on the tour, without seeing anything at all, and out a good chunk of money. I didn't - and don't - blame the company or the guide for the delays, but when I tried to address this afterward with the company and figure out what a fair allocation of the expense should be (not all their fault, but definitely not mine either), I received ZERO response to my multiple emails. NONE. So I'm out hundreds of dollars for a tour I got NO part of and they not only haven't agreed to reimburse some amount, but have IGNORED all my outreaches. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM.
