DC: US Capitol & Library of Congress/Supreme Court Guided Tour
Overview
Discover the heart of American democracy, and pick from our 3 or 4-hour Capitol Hill experience — including timed entry tickets to both the U.S. Capitol and the Library of Congress, fully handled for you.
Beginning at the iconic U.S. Supreme Court, guests take in the building's exterior before continuing on to explore the exterior of the Capitol itself. From there, the experience moves indoors at the Library of Congress, the largest library on earth, where guests explore the Jefferson Library, the Gutenberg Bible, the breathtaking Main Reading Room, and more.
Next, guests travel the connecting tunnels — walked daily by senators and congressmen — emerging at the Capitol Visitor Center, where famous statues and remarkable stories await. The experience ends in an official tour of the U.S. Capitol, including the stunning Capitol Rotunda.
Enjoy a seamless experience of Capitol Hill!
