The tour was great! Kate was an exceptional guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our Guide Kate took us through the capitol hill tour and she was fantastic! She shared information and insights that we would have never known but for her. It was an experience we will cherish for the rest of our lives! Even though I fell on the stairs of the library of congress, it didn't dampen the experience for us. Thank you Kate and Babylon Tours of DC

Outstanding tour! Lisa was an excellent guide that went into great detail ithrouout the entire tour. The only thing that would have made the tour better would have been both the House and Senete in full session.
