Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour of the Capitol?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but kids under 10 might not find it super engaging. It's definitely suitable for older kids and teens. Just keep in mind, the tour involves a fair bit of walking and listening, so younger kids might get restless.

Q: What should we wear for the Capitol tour? Is it a lot of walking?

A: Wear comfortable shoes since there's a decent amount of walking involved! I’d suggest casual, breathable clothes as you'll be outside for part of it. Also, check the weather – if rain is in the forecast, don’t forget a light jacket or umbrella!

Q: Can we reschedule if something comes up? How flexible is the booking?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to check the terms with Signature Tours of DC when you book. They generally offer flexible rescheduling options, but it might depend on how close to the date you’re trying to change it.

Just booked the Capitol Tour! What should I expect?

I’m taking my mom on this U.S. Capitol and Library of Congress tour next month and I’m so excited! I've heard the guides are super knowledgeable. Are there any must-see spots that I shouldn’t miss? Also, any tips on the best times to go? Thanks!

Anyone done the Capitol tour? Need some advice!

Thinking about gifting this Capitol tour to my husband for his birthday. He’s really into history but I’m a little worried about how much walking there is and if it’ll be too much for him? Any feedback would be great!
