Choose the option that fits your trip:

Library of Congress & Capitol Combo (3 hours): Step inside the world’s largest library. Marvel at the spectacular art and architecture of the Thomas Jefferson Building while learning how this massive repository began and how researchers access its archives today. See amazing historical treasures on display, such as the Gutenberg Bible and Thomas Jefferson's personal library.

Supreme Court & Capitol Combo (2-2.5 hours): Stand before the highest court in the land. Uncover the history of the judicial branch and landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education and Marbury v. Madison, explained in an entertaining and approachable manner, while admiring the grandeur of the Supreme Court building.

VIP 8-Guest "All-Access" Tour (4 hours): The most comprehensive tour on Capitol Hill! Enjoy an intimate experience capped at just eight guests. Visit the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court, plus make an exclusive stop at the historic Folger Shakespeare Library with a mid-tour break at the Quill Cafe for snacks and coffee (where you can even purchase a glass of wine or local beer!).

Inside the U.S. Capitol:
All tour options include seamless, reserved access to the US Capitol led tour to explore the Crypt, the grand Rotunda, and National Statuary Hall—standing exactly where history is made daily. No waiting in lines for tickets, no wasted time, your guide showcases can't miss items in the museum then leads you straight to your tour.

Important Tour Logistics:

Airport-style security is strictly enforced at all federal buildings.

Please travel light: large bags, backpacks, food, and liquids are not permitted inside.

Good to know before you go
  • Please review voucher information after booking as it provides a detailed list of items banned from the Capitol and many other federal buildings. Possession of these items will result in non-admission to the building
  • Closest Metro stop: Capitol South (Orange-Blue-Silver Lines) - Exit station using main exit, walk approximately two blocks north on First Street SE
  • Please plan to arrive 15-20 minutes before tour start time. The tour begins exactly at the stated time. Building entry uses timed reservations, and the group must enter security together, so we cannot accommodate late arrivals
  • The US Capitol and its surrounding complex are in a secure federal operation area and nearby parking is highly restricted. The nearest public parking is located at Union Station approximately .5 mile from meeting location. Alternative modes of transportation are highly encouraged
