What To Expect

U.S. Capitol

The Capitol is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world. The Senate and the House of Representatives have met here for more than two centuries. Begun in 1793, the Capitol has been built, burnt, rebuilt, extended, and restored; today, it stands as a monument not only to its builders but also to the American people and their government. Enjoy a reserved tour of the rotunda, crypt, and old house chambers led by a US Capitol Guide.

Library of Congress

Experience a guided tour of one of the most beautiful buildings in Washington, DC as you view the main reading room, a portion of Thomas Jefferson's original library, and the Great Hall. Learn about the library's history and current operations, and how you can access the resources within its collection.

Laurel was very knowledgeable. They gave us time to go into the gift shops. The architecture and artwork is breath taking. I highly suggest taking this tour. She takes great photos, will clear the area for the photo, and recommends photo ops.

My family and I (husband and 2 teens) attended this GTDC tour and had Liam as our guide. It was fantastic. He had some many facts and stories that kept us interested throughout. Would highly recommend doing this tour as it was just the right amount of time to not be overwhelming, but still be highly informative and insightful.

I highly recommend this tour with GTDC and Anne Marie. I was a bit skeptical of doing a tour with my son because I thought it would be boring versus us doing on our own. However take this tour because Anne Marie is full of historical knowledge that she made learning fun for both of us. She is an absolute delight as host and now my son will remember everything he learned due to how she made it fun and exciting.
