    Find out as much information as you can before hand. The exact meeting location needs to be explained. We ended up with the free tour with Capitol guides and never saw your group.

    Fantastic experience with this top tier guide service! We have toured the Capitol before, some multiple times, and this experience was by far superior thanks to the quality and direction of the service. Many thanks!
