Eli was very knowledgeable and filled with fun facts. You could tell he loves history and enjoys sharing it with others. Great tour!

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, including understanding who was in her group and their background. She was connected to the community and the history of the capital. It was also nice to support a female-owned business.

The Library of Congress! And we didn’t expect that. Just breathtaking! The detail! And learning the history of ‘The Hill’. And our guide was amazing. She knew all the history, was able to answer all questions with sound knowledge, and Leo made the tour fun. Great experience!

Disappointing was expecting a better tour from the tour guide instead of being turned over to the Red Coats. We completed a tour with our Congressional Office was looking to build upon that
