Dwayne the Man! - Dwayne was very knowledgeable and not only provided a private tour but helped a group of folks who were visually impaired in our larger group tour throughout our capital. Thank you Dwayne for the amazing tour and your compassion for others to make sure everyone had an opportunity to learn our country’s history.

Too rushed - We loved our tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the Capitol, DC, and the Library of Congress; however, it was a very very rushed tour and we didn’t event get time to take pictures or enjoy the Rotunda as we were rushed in and out if the Rotunda in less than 2 min with many people in there. We couldn’t even look at the paintings as we were like herded cattle in there. Very disappointed in that lack of planning and opportunity. We paid to be treated better than just the general public taking a tour!
