Choose the option that fits your trip:

Library of Congress & Capitol Combo: Step inside the world’s largest library. Marvel at the spectacular art and architecture of the Thomas Jefferson Building while learning how this massive knowledge collection began.

Supreme Court & Capitol Combo: Stand before the highest court in the land. Uncover the history of the judicial branch and landmark cases while admiring the grandeur of the Supreme Court building.

VIP 8-Guest "All-Access" Tour: Enjoy the ultimate intimate experience capped at just 8 people. Visit the Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, plus an exclusive stop at the historic Folger Shakespeare Library.

Inside the U.S. Capitol:
All tour options conclude with seamless, reserved entry into the Capitol Visitor Center. Once inside, you will join the official federal docent-led tour to explore the Crypt, the grand Rotunda, and National Statuary Hall—standing exactly where history is made daily.

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. Tour begins exactly at stated time, entry to buildings are on timed reservations, and group must enter security together, therefore we are unable to accommodate for 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.
