Traveler reviews
I was disappointed with...
I was disappointed with the tour experience overall. The tour company needed to change the time due to rolling road blockages for bike races and marathon. The night before I got several unknown phone calls, one from a Royal USA Tours, a text close to 11pm asking if I was there and alright, and a difficult to hear voicemail. None of this was flagged as Viator. The morning of the tour I get a phone call from Signature Tour with a voicemail. When I called back, I asked if they were Viator. They were. Ended up we were the only ones on tour. Tour guide nice enough but he left us at the Library of Congress tunnel after the capitol tour with a photo pass. Was that part of the program or was he in a hurry?
Would highly recommend!
Our guide, Dwayne, was full of enthusiasm and knowledge. It was amazing to learn about the history and details about the symbolism and thought that went into the beautiful architecture.
Horrible despicable
My experience was horrible. I was not able to pzricipate. I did not see anyone at the meeting place which i had the hardest time finding. I did not get to go on the tour.... Nobody answered the calls on the number listed I would like my money back as i was not able to do the tour

There is some walking and the Capitol building can be crowded. Can be hard to see the statues, as the room is crowded.
