I was upset that when I showed Katherine my senate passes to ask her what we should do she never returned them to me or my husband
This is inaccurate. You showed them to Katherine in the Library of Congress and she handed them back to you immediately saying that they were faded and worn and might not be accepted so she got the entire group House Gallery passes to be used instead. There was an entire hour left of the tour after you talked about them so you would have been able to discuss with her about getting then back even if she had forgotten to give them to you; not to mention having her phone number as well as the office phone number and we would have been able to bring them over.
The tour was flawless and its a small group.. everything was run smoothly and on time. Vicky our guide was awesome ! Highly recommend.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Vicky. It's wonderful to hear everything ran smoothly and that she made the experience so memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Trevor was amazing and one of the best guides I have had on any experience. He was witty, charming, and full of knowledge. Our group learned so much about the history of DC and the places we visited. Top notch
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Trevor. His wit, charm, and knowledge truly make for a top-notch experience. We appreciate your kind words!
Washington is for walkers and is not WC friendly. Parking in close...? better get in there about 6am. Pick up point was hard to find even with phone map. We ended up not completing, too much walking,
You did not join the tour at all and left at the tour starting location. This is listed as a walking tour that is not accessible due to stairs but when you arrived you said you couldn't walk (and you were not using a wheelchair) and asked us to take your child without you; which we could not. The guide explained the tour is leisurely with places to sit and you elected not even to start. We suggest guests take public transportation as people are not allowed to park on Capitol Hill; as we told you when we offered parking advice, it is street parking in the nearby neighborhood. Sometimes spots can be found one block away - parking after 9AM is easier than 6AM as residents have left. This is a false and misleading review since you did not take the tour at all.
Very interesting. The guide was knowledgeable and interesting. The Gutinberg bible was really cool. Good tour
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour. It's great to hear you found it interesting and enjoyed seeing the Gutenberg Bible. We appreciate your feedback!
Exceptional tour guide Trevor… really awesome. Capitol Hill and Library Congress and The Supreme Court… historical not political DC tour. A plethora of educational information. I highly recommend this tour. 10 out of 10. You won’t regret.

Vicky was fantastic and added so much to the experience! We would have been missing out on so much without a guide.

Well paced. Kevin is the best…we learned so much in a relatively short amount of time. He knew precisely how to navigate the crowds, too.
