Some confusion. - Guide very knowledgeable. But printed materials very unclear about where was the redemption point. Turns out that voucher was scanned by tour guide and we did not receive any tickets at all. Guards sent us to long line with hundreds of people. We explained all to tour guides so they can tell you the problems we had.

Washington Memorials and Capital buildings. - Alex and Matt provided a lively, very informative and comedic commentary during both tours. One in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Both very much on top of their game.

A fantastic tour with Joel W - Phenomenal tour and tour guide. Joel W is highly knowledgeable (with over 10 years of DC touring history), courteous, friendly, and he's kind and accommodating too! He ensured to make it possible for my parents to join the last stop of the tour since they could not make it to the first two stops. He even went out of his way to ask a US Capitol staff to provide assistance to my parents for the use of their elevators. He was able to strategically navigate through a minor "hiccup" and turned our tour to an extraordinary experience and adventure! It was superb! The tour starts at the US Supreme Court, then the Library of Congress, to the US Capitol, all must see destinations in one. We enjoyed our experience. Highly recommended and if possible ask for Joel W. Tip: Be prepared for a ton of walking and fast paced too. Suggestion to the tour operator: Please make room for additional 10 minutes or so at the Library of Congress to explore on our own including the gift shop, =). Thank you!

A fantastic tour with Joel W! - Joel W is phenomenal! According to him, this tour is a new offering by the tour operator. My son and I loved the tour! Included in this tour are three important and must see destinations in one, The US Supreme Court, Library of Congress, The US Capitol. We encountered a bit of a "hiccup", but Joel was able to strategically navigate through it and turned our tour into an extraordinary experience and adventure! Joel is highly knowledgeable (12 years of DC touring history), he's kind and accommodating too. He made sure that my parents will be able to join the last leg of the tour since they could not make it to the first two stops. He even went out of his way to speak to a US Capitol staff member to assist my parents with the use of their elevators. Many thanks again to Joel! We would book with him again. This tour is highly recommended. Tip: Be prepared for a ton of and fast paced walking. Suggestion to tour operator: Maybe make room for another 15 or so minutes to explore the main areas of the Library of Congress including their gift shop, =). (I think we only had five minutes). Thank you!
