This was my first time to go into the Capitol and I thought the tour was an amazing way to check it out. Paul, our guide, had our time stamped tickets for both the Capitol and Library of Congress. I never felt rushed, and he was full of great historically information. The visitors center at the capital was top notch. The Library of Congress was very interesting. The tour ended at the library, which gave you time to explore on your own, which was nice because there was a great photography display.
