Ingeborg was a great guide, funny and with a lot of knowledge. I would definitely recommend her tour.

Know ahead of time exactly where to meet your tour guide. Besides that, this is an excellent tour. Our guide was very informative, friendly, and funny.

Capital and Library of Congress Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

We learned so much on this tour of the Capitol Building and the Library of Congress. Our guide was very informative and friendly. The buildings were amazing. They were so beautiful, especially the Library of Congress and the Rotunda in the Capitol. We learned so much about our nation’s history.

Definitely worth going on the Capitol Hill & Library of Congress Highlights Walking Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

I was in DC for business and had some extra time. I'm glad I took this tour as the guide, Brooke, added so much more interesting info and context that I would not have gotten had I simply walked through the sites myself. Brooke was really friendly, helpful, and patient with our group and had surprisingly deep knowledge on each site and its respective history. The amount of time needed was just right for part of an afternoon -- be sure you meet at the right starting location as I initially had it wrong, but fortunately, I double-checked the instructions. Others in the group were also wrong on the meeting spot, despite the instructions.

Brooke was so personable. Very informative. Offered to take pictures which was great since I was traveling alone.
