We actually ended up on the big 3 tour at the offer of the tour company day before which added on the Library of Congress. Mark was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and engaged and really had a good pace. I have been on a lot of tours and he was an excellent guide in my opinion. my adult son and I really enjoyed the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress (surprisingly interesting and beautiful building). The US Capital portion was not as good as the other two locations but that tour was handled mostly by the Capital's docent. She was no Mark, I will leave it at that. highly recommend this tour. But you don't get to pick your us capital docent.

Die Tour war informativ und unterhaltsam. Der Guide Declan hat das alles super organisiert und uns prima durch die ganzen Sicherheitskontrollen geleitet. Die historischen Informationen und Bilder, die er gezeigt hat, waren sehr hilfreich.

Mark was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed the experience very much and learned so many details!

This was an excellent tour with Mark! He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. Everyone arrived early so we kicked off early and it was fantastic to hear some of the tidbits that he had to share that we probably wouldn't have pulled together ourselves or realised, especially with artwork. The lines were quite long, which was a shame (unsure if we were meant to be able to Skip The Line?) and unfortunately they closed the main reading room in the Library of Congress so we just missed out! We did run over time, so all up it was around 4 hours before we finished. However, Mark did mention this and check in if we were okay to stay, so all was well! One note I would make for Get Your Guide is to have clearer instructions on what you can and cannot take into the Capitol. You can take empty drink bottles and small bags. There's some conflicting information on the booking vs the information you receive :)

Highlights

Explore Capitol Hill, the heart of American democracy, with a guide and pre-booked timed-entry tickets. Every option includes the Capitol Visitor Center and a docent-led tour of the Rotunda beneath the Capitol dome, the Crypt and National Statuary Hall. Depending on your option, you can also see the Main Reading Room and Gutenberg Bible in the Library of Congress's Jefferson Building or go inside the U.S. Supreme Court. There's no need to book entry yourself, and you'll explore comfortably in a small group of up to 15 people.

Program

Meet your guide outside Florida House
and explore Capitol Hill

The tour starts outside Florida House. Choose the option that suits your interests: U.S. Capitol & Library of Congress (3 hours), U.S. Capitol & Supreme Court (2.5–3 hours) or the Big 3 Capitol Landmarks covering all three sites (4 hours). All the timed-entry tickets you need are booked in advance.

As you walk with your guide, hear about famous statues, hidden history and the stories found throughout these buildings. The Capitol & Library of Congress and Capitol & Supreme Court options are limited to 15 people, while the Big 3 option is semi-private with up to 10 people.

See the Capitol Rotunda and National Statuary Hall

All options include a look at the Capitol exterior, followed by the Visitor Center, where you'll watch the film "Out of Many, One." Then join a 30–45-minute docent-led tour of the Rotunda and its fresco "The Apotheosis of Washington," the Crypt and National Statuary Hall. In the winter low season, you may also visit the Old House Chamber and the Senate Chamber.

Explore the Library of Congress Jefferson Building

The Capitol & Library of Congress option and the Big 3 option go inside the Library of Congress's Jefferson Building. Admire the magnificent Main Reading Room, the Gutenberg Bible and Thomas Jefferson's personal library with commentary from your guide.

Go inside the U.S. Supreme Court

The Capitol & Supreme Court option and the Big 3 option begin at the U.S. Supreme Court, lined with Corinthian marble columns, and include a visit inside. Upgrade to a private tour to enjoy a dedicated guide for your group (the official 45-minute Capitol guided tour is shared with other groups).

※ The Library of Congress is closed on Mondays, so the Capitol & Library of Congress option is not available on Mondays.
※ The Supreme Court is closed on weekends, so the Capitol & Supreme Court option is not available on Saturdays or Sundays, and the Big 3 option runs Tuesday to Friday only.
※ The tour runs rain or shine and is not canceled due to weather unless there are safety concerns.
