Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Gæsterne mødes direkte på tværs af gaden fra U.S. Botanic Garden Conservatory, en af de ældste botaniske haver i Nordamerika, der blev grundlagt af Kongressen i 1820, beliggende på 100 Maryland Avenue SW.
Inden for det amerikanske Capitol: Gæsterne går gennem sikkerhed, har en kort pause, ser orienteringsfilmen, og deltager derefter i den officielle guidede tur med headsets. Højdepunkter inkluderer Capitol Rotunda, berømt for sine historiske vægmalerier og kuppel; Krypten, der oprindeligt blev designet som George Washingtons sidste hvilested; og National Statuary Hall, hjemsted for statuer, der repræsenterer alle 50 stater. Når det er muligt, kan du også besøge den gamle højesteretskammer eller den gamle senatkammer, der tilbyder sjælden indsigt i den tidlige kongresshistorie. * Regeringen har ret til at lukke eller annullere enhver tur i det amerikanske Capitol uden varsel til os.
Kongressbiblioteket: Efter at have været eskorteret til tunnelen, bruger gæsterne tidsbegrænsede adgangskort til at gå direkte ind i Jefferson Building, som almindeligvis betragtes som den smukkeste bygning i Washington. Højdepunkter omfatter: – Gutenberg Bibelen – 1 af kun 3 perfekte vellum kopier eksisterer. – The Great Hall – et blomstrende italiensk renæssance-stil atrium med marmor søjler, mosaikker, guld blad, og vægmalerier af førende kunstnere. – The Main Reading Room – set fra det øverste observationsdæk, er dette det ikoniske cirkulære læseværelse set i utallige film. – Putti og udskæringer – cherubiske figurer, der repræsenterer kunst og videnskab linje balustrader Jefferson Building var den første offentlige bygning i DC designet til elektrisk belysning og en af de første til at bruge et omfattende klimakontrolsystem.

Very professional, especially the familiarisation and training tips. The supplied earphones are excellent and allow the guide (in our case Kyle) to keep the tour facts flowing while we were riding. Fantastic way to see the 'greatest hits' with unlimited chances to ask questions, take photos etc.

I tour guide Trevor was awesome, lots of good information We only had time to do a short tour for left town that morning and this was perfect. After we got through with the tour part of it we were allowed to stay in the capital building as long as we wanted, to look at additional things the tour didn’t cover because you couldn’t cover all of it in two hours
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your tour experience with us. It also helps other future guests see what we are all about! It is always our goal to give people a tour to remember and we are so happy you thought it was! We love hearing that our guests loved their tour experience. It really makes our day! We strive to make our tours fun and memorable for everyone every time. Hopefully we will see you back with us soon! Malaak.
It’s great & thorough, extremely knowledgeable tour guide named Dwayne; he was fantastic. quite crowded though; too many ppl at once in the dome & statuary room & crypt & also was surprised to still have to wait in a line to get into the visitor centre considering it was an expensive tour. Overall great experience though!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the thorough tour and that Dwayne’s knowledge made it especially memorable. We hope to welcome you again soon!
Not really what I expected. Group met in front of the botanical garden, then headed up the hill toward the visitors center after briefly standing to the right of the capital to take a quick picture. Once inside after you go through security, It was just a walk through of a couple of rooms with statues, nothing special. The tour guide inside the Capital did an ok job, but nothing I would recommend that is a must see. After the tour was over, everyone headed to the library, then went separate ways. This tour is not worth the money. Book a free tour and get the same result.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. In addition to reserved entry inside the US Capitol and Library of Congress buildings guests will receive a guided walking tour of Capitol Hill, learning about notable sites such as the Supreme Court, Senate Offices and House of Representative buildings, the Peace Monument, and the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial. Thank you again for joining us, we hope to welcome you back again.
The tour was excellent and the tour guide was exceptional. The guide (Damian) was extremely knowledgeable and had a great personality. He was perfect for the large group we had. He moved us along very efficiently and handled the handoff between him and the Capitol guide very well.
Thank you for the wonderful review, we’re so glad you had an excellent experience! It’s great to hear that Damian’s knowledge, personality, and organization made such a positive impact, especially with a large group. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back again soon!
We were expecting a bus to take us in. We received a text from our tour guide asking us to meet him outside the Supreme Court. We loved our tour guide, Tyrone McBride. It was definitely worth taking this tour considering the heightened security and guaranteed way to see the Capitol and the Library of Congress.
Thank you for the kind words! We're so thrilled to hear you had a great time exploring Capitol Hill with Tyrone. We appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back again soon!
I wasn’t able to get a ticket through the regular website for a tour, so I was very happy that I was able to get this tour through Viator. The guide was very friendly and helpful. The tour doesn’t go into the chambers of the House of Representatives or Congress, however, he was able to let me know how to go about getting access after the tour was over. I appreciated that.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled you had a great time and that we were able to provide you with a tour of the Capitol. Thank you again for joining, we hope to welcome you back on another tour soon!
Duane was an excellent tour guide.
