No multiple guides please - My guests who were the beneficiaries of that tour told me that they wish they had it with the original guide whose explanations were very informative and insightful.

Loved this tour! - Took this tour with Dwayne of Signature Tours. Amazing, enthusiastic guide with 20yrs of experience. I wasn't sure this was going to be worth the money but this clinched it for me. Clearly, one gets so much more information and experiences with the tour guide than without.

Do it yourself for free! - Didn't even make the tour - directions on where to meet were terrible, taxi took us to what turned out to be the wrong intersection. We ended up going to the Capitol Hill ourselves from FREE and doing our own tour and was more that happy with that. So for anyone reading this I'd recommend you save some money and do the same yourselves!

One big scam - 1 big scam. Don't book this tour but just go to the Capitol yourself. All these people do is take you to the FREE tour the Capitol offers

Extortionate price for a tour that is free if you book directly through the Capitol Visitor Centre - DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. You can get into the Capitol bldg for free and get a tour guide for FREE. Part of the tour is conducted by a Capitol Hill tour guide and another 10 mins are taken up by a film. It is extortionately priced. Paying for a talk from outside the Supreme Courts of Justice does not justify the cost. Awful joining instructions too.
