Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for this tour?

A: There's no strict minimum age, but it's best suited for older children and adults. Younger kids might get restless since it's a 3-hour walking tour with a lot of information. If you bring younger ones, just be prepared to keep them engaged!

Q: What's the parking situation like around the Capitol and Supreme Court?

A: Parking can be quite tricky in that area! There are a few garages nearby but they can fill up fast, especially on weekdays. I'd recommend using public transport if you can, like the Metro. The Library of Congress is super close to the meeting point.

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Is it formal or casual?

A: Casual is totally fine! You'll be walking a lot, so wear comfortable shoes. The weather can be unpredictable, so maybe check the forecast before you go. If it's rainy, a light jacket might be a good idea!

Thinking about gifting the Capitol and Supreme Court tour. Any thoughts?

I'm considering this small-group guided tour for my brother's birthday. He loves history and politics! The fact that it includes the Library of Congress sounds amazing too. Just wondering if anyone's been on this tour and if it's really worth it?

Just did the Capitol & Supreme Court tour! Here’s my review.

Wow, what an experience! We started at the Neptune Fountain and the guide was really informative about the Supreme Court's history. The building is even more stunning in person. I loved getting the reserved passes for the Capitol tour too. Highly recommend this as a gift or just for yourself!
