Enjoy a reserved tour of the rotunda, crypt, and old house chambers led by a US Capitol Guide.

Fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable guide. He was DC born and bred, worked as a Capitol guide for years, so obviously knew his stuff as well as funny trivia and stories too. Made the tour very enjoyable for me and my 14 year old son.
