Super tour

This tour was well worth it!!! I had worried that 3 hours seemed a long time but it wasn't and I even stayed for another Capitol tour on Votes for Women. The historical information and sites, sculptures, books, etc was amazing. You could tell that Paul loved his job and did an amazing job of showing us (a small group of 5) around. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.
Great guide - Paul...

Great guide - Paul
Sullivan. Very knowledgeable. He also made allowances for senior who couldn’t handle stairs. Beautiful Capitol Building. Visit to House of Representatives while in session was a real treat. Thank you, Paul

The guided tour is very well organized and the guides are very friendly and plenty of knowledge about the areas open to visit.
Unfortunately there is not allowed to visit the main room where the laws are voted unless you grant access with one RP what is not available for tourists.

The Capital was much more interesting than the Library of Congress. Unfortunately, the House Republicans couldn’t elect a speaker so we couldn’t get to that area.
