Will definitely recommend this for all DC tourists!! - James was a great host, kept the LONG walking tour interesting and fun with his jokes. Will do this again. Carry a water bottle! We got several bathroom breaks and a short refreshment break inside the Capitol which was needed and appreciated, while you can only carry an empty bottle inside the Capitol building, we were able to refill it several times inside. The tour started outside the library of congress, then we saw the Supreme court and the Capitol hill from outside, before going inside Capitol building. Finally took a connected tunnel from Capitol to the library of congress, where James walked us through several highlights and ended the tour there. The security process to go inside Capitol Hill was easy because James/tour had already shared what not to bring and the security personnel were very patient.

Amazing tour & guide - I met Evelyn and we toured the Capitol and the Library of Congress. She was so knowledgeable about the history of both. I don’t know how she remembers so many important details! She made me feel very welcomed and cared for. I loved seeing the inside of the Capitol dome. So many beautiful paintings and art work in that room. The Library of Congress was even more beautiful than the Capitol! Every detail of the artists interpretation is intentional from start to finish. Just amazing.
