Would recommend - We had a great time. Rochelle was great and texted me ahead of time to verify meet up location. She gave us extra information about the capital that was not included by the capital guide. Would recommend!

Capital Hill Tour beyond expectations - A visit to our capitals Capital Hill was overwhelmingly eye opening. Those of our fore fathers that built this nation and all that it meant in so many ways, was so touching, I felt like crying. Its not just the building, but what it means to our freedom and those that fought so hard for us, we the people. I only wish I could have seen more than the tour included. The guide was outstanding with his commentary. Everyone should see and hear this!

Well worth it! - Dwayne was our terrific guide. Knowledgeable, and navigated us efficiently w/o making it feel rushed. Showed things it would have been hard to pick out even with some different type of guide material. Kudos!

Maybe not worth paying extra for - Took several tours while in DC. This one didn't seem worth paying the extra for. Tyrone was nice and had some extra input but we waited in line to enter like everyone else did, we watched a movie like everyone else did, we went on a capitol guide headphone tour like everyone else did. After the Capitol, we took the tunnel to the library of congress where Tyrone did guide us through but that was a relatively short tour.

Do self guided Capitol tour for free instead - We had a lovely tour guide who wa knowledgeable and experienced- very friendly. You won’t see anything on this tour that you cannot self guide and experience for free - head to the Visitor Centre at the Capitol and pick up a free tour instead

Refund request as only completed half the tour. - Hello. The guide was late so we started 20mins late. Then we found out the Capitol building was closed so we couldn't do half the tour. The guide was great though but only doing half the tour means I would like a partial refund of at least 50% please. Thanks.

Got ripped off - Paid 179.00 for two tickets for the walking tour of the capital and library of congress. Ten minutes into our tour our guide was stopped by Capital police. We don’t know what he did wrong but we were told by the police our tour was over. Was told by the tour company we would be refunded within 48 hours. No refund and no way I can find to contact trip advisor
