Visit to Capitol Hill, Supreme Court.

It was a great tour visiting all the places like The Capitol Hill, Supreme Court and the Library. Special mention to our tour guide Debra Smetana here. She had great knowledge of all the places she was touring us plus she was super kind with multiple requests from our side. Everyone from my family was extremely happy with the tour and how kind and accommodating Debra was throughout those 2 hours.

A must see tour!

The tour was great! Plan on some walking, but it's worth it. Seeing inside some of our government buildings was awe inspiring, and the architecture of the library is something you won't believe. Take the time to look around and make some great memories.

Well worth the visit

Great tour and our guide was very knowledgeable- Rochelle. She was happy and you could see how much she knew about the history of the Supreme Court, Capital and Library. It was so great to see the inside of the Capital rooms and the beautiful library. Would definitely recommend it.
