Splendor of Washington DC - The history of Washington is absolutely amazing! The capital and the Library of Congress is a must see. They are beautiful, they can rival some of the architecture and paintings of Italy.

Amazing Experience! - It was a great day and Duane was a fantastic tour guide! He called me while we were walking to the meeting site to confirm, and waited for us even tho we arrived on time by the skin of our teeth. He was thorough and friendly and informative, and I would tour with him again!
The sites were also great. The rotunda and statue hall were beautiful, and the library was the most beautiful interior design I’ve ever seen! I’m very thankful we took this tour; not a penny was wasted!

This tour is a must do! - I went on this tour with my husband and 13 year old son. It was excellent! Dwayne was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to. Our group was large (39 people) but I was always able to hear him. The Gutenberg bible was cool to see! I had tried to get tickets to the Capitol on my own but couldn’t which is why I booked this tour. Dwayne made everything smooth and seamless. We never had to wait in line for anything very long and if we did, Dwayne was giving us a history lesson learnt n what we were about to see. It was well worth the price!

Not a nice experience - Not a good experience. Was rushed through the archives and handed off to another “on site” tour guide at the capital. Could have this tour myself and saved the money.
