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. Typiske værelser omfatter krypten, rotunden og National Statuary Hall; nogle gange den gamle højesteret eller gamle senatkamre. Rotunda fresco "The Apotheosis of Washington" er 180 meter over gulvet; Kryptet var oprindeligt beregnet til Washington begravelse. * Regeringen har ret til at lukke eller annullere enhver tur i det amerikanske Capitol uden varsel til os.

There is some walking and the Capitol building can be crowded. Can be hard to see the statues, as the room is crowded.
Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your feedback! We hope your next trip to DC includes another tour with us! Malaak.
Dwayne was an awesome guide. He knew lots about various subjects. I learned so much. Be prepared though, these areas get very crowded. I would do this tour again because there was so much to see and absorb.

We had an incredible tour with Dwayne. He is hands down the best tour guide in D.C.!! Loved all of the historical and trivia information he shared!! We were able to visit all of our sights. I told Dwayne that I wish I could do an entire week with him around Washington (yes, he is that good!). It was very much worth the cost! Be aware that the Capital tour guides lead the tour once inside for the Crypts and Rotunda and Statuary Hall and ours was not very good. It was very crowded and hard to see certain statues due to security issues but that is no fault of this tour group. The Library of Congress is AMAZING! I would definitely book with them again!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to know that your experience met your expectations. We hope to see you again soon for another great adventure in DC! Malaak.

Take the early tour, that way you have time to visit the gift shop. Use clear bags you make it thru security faster. It was a great tour. Our guide was friendly, personable and very, very knowledgeable, could answer any question he was asked.

This "tour" of the Capital Building is total scam. Don't waste your money on it. The tour guide gave us a 15 minute speech about the history of the building. Then we I had to wait 40 minutes in 100 degree heat to go through security. The tour was conducted by an federal employee and my group was abandoned by the Viator guide during the tour. Never saw him again.
Thank you for being with us security have you been for everyone and your guide was looking for you in the us capitol
Our tour guide Dwayne was ver knowlegable about the sites and everything in them. He was very friendly, super clear with the instructions and happy to answer questions during the tour. He was really happy to tell stories about the statues and different areas of historical importance inside the buildings. I would take the tour again with this company and this tour guide. Five stars!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re truly delighted that you had such an enjoyable experience with us. It would be an absolute pleasure to welcome you back again in the near future. Malaak.
