Fabio, the guide was very good. This is not a priority experience. You have to wait online with everybody else who do not have tickets. It was extremely crowded the day we did the tour and it took four hours instead of two hours. It is worth it to walk through the tunnel to the Library of Congress and to see the Library of Congress.
Terrible experience. Granted it was July 3rd and DC was very busy and extremely hot. BUT this was not as advertised. The only real guide was the Capital guide. Fabio was nice but gave very little information. Still had to wait over an hour for security. Could have planned it on our own with better results. And was not a small group. Had over 20 peopleAlways have had great experiences using Viatar. This was surprising.
Excellent tour with Jo. Small group of 10 people guided thru tour of US Supreme Court, US Capitol and Library on July 2nd with record heat in the NE the only downside. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Joe was very welcoming and knowledgeable. He made it feel like he was the 5th member of our party. We went to the Capitol, Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court with ease, and he had plenty of inside information to share. I would highly recommend this experience and Joe as your guide!
Our tour was so much more, and so much better than we had anticipated! Joe was FANTASTIC. He was extremely knowledgeable of all points of interest and was able to answer all of our questions. His tour was so organized and included all points of interest that we were hoping to see and more.
Today’s tour of the Capitol, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court was outstanding. Our guide, Jobait, was amazing—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history and significance of these remarkable institutions. He brought each location to life with fascinating stories and insights, answered every question with expertise, and made the experience both educational and enjoyable. We left with a much deeper appreciation for our nation’s history and government. Highly recommended!
Our guide had a thick accent and spoke very softly into the microphone so it was difficult to hear and understand him at times.
Great tour for those interested in the history and symbolism of the Capitol and Library of Congress. Our guide, Joe, was fantastic! Very friendly and personable, he made sure to find out a bit about each person in order to make sure we noticed the things of interest to us. Even during the Capitol tour led by their employee, he asked questions to give us a little more info than the usual tour. I highly recommend!
Our guide, Jobalt, who goes by Joe, was very good. He was knowledgeable about both the Capitol and the Library of Congress, and personable, in that he made an effort to connect with each member of our small group of five people. His instructions for how to comply with the entry procedures to each area were clear and well communicated. Joe mentioned that he has been guiding tours for only a couple of months, but he performed very well.
Joe was absolutely amazing. It was fun and entertaining. The awe of it all was an experience. Thank you for an amazing day
