Lige øst for Capitol besøger du den amerikanske højesteret, den højeste domstol inden for hierarkiet af domstole i mange juridiske jurisdiktioner. Komplet i 1935, vil du være i stand til at nyde den fantastiske udvendige af retten, mens du lærer om al den historie og tradition knyttet til det. Ansvarsfraskrivelse: Den amerikanske højesteret er en offentlig institution og kan lukke uden varsel.
Derefter besøger du Library of Congress, forskningsbiblioteket, der officielt tjener U.S. Kongres og betragtes som det nationale bibliotek i De Forenede Stater. Den ældste føderale kulturelle institution i USA, Thomas Jefferson-bygningen fra 1897, afslører en italiensk-renæssancestilarkitektur.

Joel made everything fantastic from start to finish. - Clear directions about the meet up spot and how to recognize him - Laid out his objectives: We will learn something, want to come back, and have a 7 out of 5 stars experience. - In each place he gave interesting information, some well known and others based on varying opinions. His ongoing curiosity and love for teaching are evident. - We ended up in the Capitol building and he gave us clear directions about how to find lunch, get a (free) Capitol tour and provided passes for the senate and house chambers. He also gave us a tip about going to the US navy band concert on the avenue in the evening, which was also great! Epilogue: Plans for our next visit: Supreme court lecture, going up into the Capitol dome.
Jim was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and gave us historical, architectural information that greatly enhanced our experience. Great day!
Joel was amazing. A wealth of knowledge and his enthusiasm kept us engaged. Learned a ton!
It was a great tour visiting all the places like The Capitol Hill, Supreme Court and the Library. Special mention to our tour guide Debra Smetana here. She had great knowledge of all the places she was touring us plus she was super kind with multiple requests from our side. Everyone from my family was extremely happy with the tour and how kind and accommodating Debra was throughout those 2 hours.
Shane was a great tour guide. Very informative, easy to understand and great personality. Would definitely recommend him to anyone!
The tour was great! Plan on some walking, but it's worth it. Seeing inside some of our government buildings was awe inspiring, and the architecture of the library is something you won't believe. Take the time to look around and make some great memories.
Great tour and our guide was very knowledgeable- Rochelle. She was happy and you could see how much she knew about the history of the Supreme Court, Capital and Library. It was so great to see the inside of the Capital rooms and the beautiful library. Would definitely recommend it.
Jim was very informative, efficient and took all questions willingly. He knows his stuff and I highly recommend him for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Spent too much time standing around. Could have filled time with information. Guides jokes not worth the time.
