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.

I've done two tours with Unscripted and was very impressed with the quality of their guides - very educated, passionate about their subject and with the sense of humor.
