Great tour of the Capital & Library of Congress - This was an excellent overview of both the Capital building and the Library of Congress. The tour was over 2 hours but could easily have gone on for another 2. The Library of Congress has a lot to offer and couldn’t fully be covered. You have the opportunity to get a library card from it but get there with a picture ID before it closes at 4:30. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely do this tour again. Great for singles, couples or families (not ideal for small children or babies).

The Rotunda was so... - The Rotunda was so impressive. I had never been to the Library of Congress & it was well worth the trip. Tyron, our guide, was outstanding.

Great Guide and Tour - We had a great tour to the Capital and Library of Congress. Dwayne was a terrific guide and I’m so glad we didn’t try to do this on our own. We learned so much in such a short amount of time and after were able to get a library card! The lines are long so taking this also saved us a lot of time waiting. Great tour Dwayne, thank you again!

The tour did not start... - The tour did not start well for me. Zuma was very prejudiced and hurtful. As he was giving instructions I asked if even a bottle of water is not allowed in the capitol. At this , he stared at me with such scorn. He never asked how I am or the other pleasantries like he asked everyone else in the group. I was shocked at his behavior. I am a physician having lived in Texas for 30 years. No one has made me feel this bad.
