Traveler reviews
There is some walking and...
There is some walking and the Capitol building can be crowded. Can be hard to see the statues, as the room is crowded.
Great tour
Dwayne was an awesome guide. He knew lots about various subjects. I learned so much. Be prepared though, these areas get very crowded. I would do this tour again because there was so much to see and absorb.

Dwayne is the BEST Tour Guide in DC!
We had an incredible tour with Dwayne. He is hands down the best tour guide in D.C.!! Loved all of the historical and trivia information he shared!! We were able to visit all of our sights. I told Dwayne that I wish I could do an entire week with him around Washington (yes, he is that good!). It was very much worth the cost! Be aware that the Capital tour guides lead the tour once inside for the Crypts and Rotunda and Statuary Hall and ours was not very good. It was very crowded and hard to see certain statues due to security issues but that is no fault of this tour group. The Library of Congress is AMAZING! I would definitely book with them again!
Educational and entertaining
