WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Supreme Court

2. Library of Congress
Afterwards you will visit the Library of Congress, the research library that officially serves the U.S Congress and is considered the national library of the United States. The oldest federal cultural institution in the United States, the 1897 Thomas Jefferson building reveals an Italian-Renaissance style architecture. Inside one of the main highlights includes the beautiful circular main reading room with its 160ft ceiling.

Inside the Capitol lies the U.S Capitol Visitor Centre, a large underground addition to the Capitol complex, which serves as a gathering point for up to 4000 tourists and an expansion space for the US Congress. Here you will be informed about the unique characteristics of the House, the Senate and U.S legislative process, as well as learn about the history and development of architecture of the Capitol. Our guide will end the tour providing access passes (and information about security protocols) for the visitor’s galleries of the current chambers for the House of Representatives and or the Senate, to be seen at your leisure.

Lots of good narrative information and especially nice to have the passes to the senate & House. The small group of 6 made it easy to hear the guide.

We enjoyed a memorable afternoon with our knowledgeable guide, Bess. We received updates about our tour and detailed meeting information up to the day of our tour. We were also able to change our tour day, hassle free.

Bess knowledge and navigation of our tour made us feel like VIPs. Also, since the House and Senate were not in session, we got 2 year passes to come back when in session.

My favorite part of the visit was seeing the Gutenberg Bible and The Reading Room!

Loved seeing the Gutenberg Bible!

We really loved all the insight we received from our guide. Had we visited these sites on our own we would not have learned what we did. It made the time we spent on our trip more memorable and time efficient. Our guide made sure we were able to focus on what we most wanted to see.

Our guide, Bess, was great! We had someone in a wheelchair that slowed us down a bit from a normal tour pace. Bess just went with the flow! No pressures! The tour itself was awesome. We spent some extra time in the library of congress, since the Supreme Court was closed that day. And then we went over to the capitol for an outside discussion. Also, Bess was in contact with us before the tour and she was willing to meet us in front of the buildings instead of the metro station, due to our limited mobility issue. We were very happy with our tour!
