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.

Kirsten is an excellent guide providing interesting back stories on notable people, places and events making them more relevant to today’s DC and specifically the congressional chambers and library. Rated 4 as tour seems overpriced.

Thanks for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your tour, Kirsten is a treasure and we are lucky to have her on our team. As for the price, we understand we are a premium product. We would offer a lower price if we could, however the service we provide includes procuring tickets in advance, guest concierge service, and employing the best guides in the city and pride ourselves on offering full benefits for our team as well. These all add to our expenses and the price reflects such expense.
