Great Tour and Guide - I would book any tour Duane provides. He is basically an encyclopedia, when it comes to all things Washington DC and really made this tour one of the highlights of our trip. 10/10 would tour again! Thanks again!

Great Capital Hill Tour - Our Guide was THE BEST! Very knowledgeable and personable. We feel he gave us only a small piece of the knowledge that he actually knows (due to time constraints). I would highly recommend this tour, because of him -- I just don't recall his name.

So much great information and awesome sites. - Our guide who meet us on the street was excellent. He was knowledgeable and easy to listen to.
The pickup place was easy for drop offs. . We had a bit of a struggle finding our guide. Perhaps in the meet and pickup directions you might give details of clothing or a sign and which side of the street.. We had to ask a policeman if he knew where the group might meet.
Lots of great formation was presented. He pointed out details that were unknown to us.
We would have loved more time to observe the statues and paintings in the Capitol Building.
The Library of Congress was awesome but a bit hurried. We were allowed to go back and wonder in this building.
We loved it all. The architecture is so amazing.

Fun tour, but the guide was the best part. - Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. He added quite a bit to my experience based just on what he shared with us. That alone was worth the tour.

Our tour guide Dwane was... - Our tour guide Dwane was very knowledgeable and knew his history well. We were disappointed we didn’t get to see the room where they have the State of the Union address. Otherwise it was a great tour.

I booked this guided tour... - I booked this guided tour for Friday (5/11) unfortunately due to the rain we didn’t make it to the tour. There was no prediction of rain in the weather forecast for me to cancel 24 hours in advance. It clearly stated on the website that if the weather is bad the customer would be refunded partial or full refund. I contacted customer service and later received an email that a refund would not be given. I will never use this site again. So much for US Capitol tour, I’m very disappointed ☹️
