Delve into the history and beauty of Capitol Hill on this comprehensive tour. Starting outside the iconic Capitol Building, you’ll get an overview of its architecture and significance before moving to the exteriors of the Supreme Court and Library of Congress for photo ops.
From there, you'll step into the Supreme Court. Discover the halls where pivotal cases are argued and gain insights into the judicial branch's role in shaping American history.
Next, you're off to the Library of Congress, the world’s largest library. Step into the breathtaking Great Hall before continuing on to the rare Gutenberg Bible and the renowned Reading Room. With timed entry tickets arranged in advance, you can immerse yourself in the majesty of this institution without the hassle of waiting in line.
Last but not least, you'll take an underground passage to the Capitol Visitor Center, a comfortable and unique route that keeps you out of the elements (especially DC's infamous summer heat).
