I went with a group of 18 people. We had a great tour guide. There was so much to look at, I would like to go back to study the paintings and statues more. The gift shop had some unique items. I got a refrigerator magnet, as usual. I also got a nice pair of earrings.
The tour around the place was really good and very historical. Our guide was a very good one. He stated all of the states statues and made it a priority to remember where everyone in our group came from so that he could point out their statues to them. The history in there was very fascinating, but you couldn’t see much of the capitol if you didn’t have a tour. But it was relatively easy to get one once you got past security, and the rest was very amazing.
Great visit! A guided tour was included and our guide was very knowledgeable with historical facts I never knew of. After the tour we walked the tunnel to the library of Congress which has a very nice museum. Thomas Jefferson's collection of books was impressive as well as WWI memorabilia etc.
Our guide Roberta was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the building and the history. The tour was great and since it wasn't busy they showed us a couple extra rooms which normally aren't on the tour. Overall definitely worth visiting.
Great tour with lots of fascinating facts and stories. Being there during the work day is a little like being in Hollywood as you'll likely spot famous Congress members if you keep an eye out for them. We had one stop our group to ask where we were from and then filled us in on his background. It was nice to see him in his "natural habitat". If you enjoy architecture, the building can't be missed. Most people don't realize how much has changed in the construction/reconstruction of the dome over time.
