Be prepared for walking!...

Be prepared for walking! There is a decent amount of outdoor walking but it is so worthwhile. James, our tour guide, had a great sense of humor and was a wealth of information.

Fabulous DC Tour Of Capital Building!

Ask for tour guide Everlyn, from Unscripted; Personal, professional and informative. The temperature of the day wasn’t too hot so the walking was bearable. We learned that the square footage of the Supreme Court’ main structure was approximately a half of million (500,000)! Worth every penny!

Extremely fun tour guide and exciting American history experience

Was not sure what to expect. First time in Washington D.C. and first paid tour. This exceeded all expectations and Evelyn my tour guide was the best. She was very fun and enthusiastic about American history. She did a great job including everyone in the tour. 10/10 would book again and only with her. Wish I had the funds to leave a tip. She was worth atleast an extra 100 everyday.

Dash was good.. His...

Dash was good.. His humorous approach was commendable but needs to be tempered by the more important task... giving visitors more detailed historical information... people want to come away with knowing more personal details about the history of our political and judicial figures without the distraction of zany humor, after all.. its a mature crowd not kids.
