Thinking of gifting the bookstore tour in Capitol Hill!

Hey everyone! I really want to surprise my book-loving friend with the 2-hour bookstore tour in Capitol Hill. The idea of visiting places like Solid State and Capitol Hill Books is super exciting! I’m just worried about how crowded it might get and if we’ll actually have time to enjoy Eastern Market afterwards. Has anyone done this tour? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Just finished the bookstore tour, and wow!

I just got back from the bookstore tour in Capitol Hill, and it was such a blast! Rey was super knowledgeable and made the experience fun. Solid State had some awesome titles, and I loved the quirky sections at Capitol Hill Books. Plus, grabbing tea along the way was a nice touch. I'd definitely recommend this for fellow book lovers!
