Do not recommend this tour - This “tour” seems like a scam. We met our guide outside the Supreme Court (all the guests for the tour were left confused as the guide did not meet us at the allocated place). He took some photos and then walked us to the Capitol. He gave a brief talk (under 5 mins) and then we went inside. We then were given a tour of the Capitol by the Capitol staff - which is free if you book on their website. When that tour was over our guide walked us to the library of congress and gave a brief explanation of some parts of it. Again, entry is free to the library via their website. What did we pay $85 each for?!
