I booked this guided tour for Friday (5/11) unfortunately due to the rain we didn’t make it to the tour. There was no prediction of rain in the weather forecast for me to cancel 24 hours in advance. It clearly stated on the website that if the weather is bad the customer would be refunded partial or full refund. I contacted customer service and later received an email that a refund would not be given. I will never use this site again. So much for US Capitol tour, I’m very disappointed ☹️

Our Guide was THE BEST! Very knowledgeable and personable. We feel he gave us only a small piece of the knowledge that he actually knows (due to time constraints). I would highly recommend this tour, because of him -- I just don't recall his name.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. He added quite a bit to my experience based just on what he shared with us. That alone was worth the tour.

Our tour guide Dwane was very knowledgeable and knew his history well. We were disappointed we didn’t get to see the room where they have the State of the Union address. Otherwise it was a great tour.

Our guide who meet us on the street was excellent. He was knowledgeable and easy to listen to. The pickup place was easy for drop offs. . We had a bit of a struggle finding our guide. Perhaps in the meet and pickup directions you might give details of clothing or a sign and which side of the street.. We had to ask a policeman if he knew where the group might meet. Lots of great formation was presented. He pointed out details that were unknown to us. We would have loved more time to observe the statues and paintings in the Capitol Building. The Library of Congress was awesome but a bit hurried. We were allowed to go back and wonder in this building. We loved it all. The architecture is so amazing.

The tour guide never showed up. Several other people were waiting as well. Then Viator claimed the guide was there and we went to the wrong place. They are arguing about returning our fee - $380 for 4 people.

I have been on many tours and this was my least favorite. There was too many people to hear the guide and no instructions on where to go within the tour. The experience itself was great but I would rather just tour the places on my own. The guide was extremely friendly and professional but there was no organization.

Not worth the money. The tour was actually largely self guided and in the capitol you did the tour that they offer. You could have simply went and got tickets at the capitol, a lot cheaper and had the same or better experience. Also, no signage from tour guide, as Viator farms this out to a third party. Don’t’ waste your time.

Dwayne was one of the best tour guides I’ve met (and our family has taken many tours in historical places around the world). His deep enthusiasm for the history of his hometown, passion for and excitement about American history, and his superb and accessible presentation style made him one of the next tour guides we’ve ever had. I wished we could have spent more time with Dwayne learning more - already plan to find him the next time I’m in DC! Thank you Dwayne!
