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.

Buy online reservations for $1 each have your time set for your visit. Also, go straight to buy your library card and then you can go into the library without a times admission.

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.
We’re so happy to hear you had a great time! Your feedback truly means a lot to us. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable experience! Malaak.

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.
Dwayne was our tour guide. He was amazing! So personable and knowledgeable about this tour. Made sure everyone had their questions answered, and gave insight to his vast knowledge. He was considerate of those with disabilities and made sure everyone was able to take a breather, get some shade, and drink water on the hottest day of the year. It’s impressive how many people he knew walking past that work at the Capital and how they go out of their way to greet him.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour. It would be our pleasure to have you join us again in the future! Malaak.
The tour guide was amazing! The tour was very rushed. The whole thing was just rushed.
Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your feedback! We hope your next trip to DC includes another tour with us! Malaak.
