The Guide (Wade?) stood across the street (on the House side of 1st St NE and yelled at us. He didn't come to the sign post as the instructions were very clear. We walked over to him to confirm we were the group he was looking for. (There were several guides looking for their groups at the same time.) He never acknowledged my two friends. He started his canned speech - using a large crowd shouting voice - even though there was no one around us and he was less than 2 feet away. I asked him not to shout and he was offended. He said aloud several times: "I have to process this" "I am not sure how to react to your comment". "I am offended by your attitude". I asked another question to which he was also offended. He said that there was another person for our tour. He called them. Apparently they were a no show. After he got the answer that they were not coming, he put his hoodie up and walked away from us, without saying a word to me. HE NEVER GAVE THE TOUR. So I want a refund. And your guide should be trained to be responsive to his audience, not his canned, memorized performance. He obviously was offended by an old lady who had worked on the Hill. He clearly could not handle a situation where he was provided feedback. The good news, because I was giving my friends the tour around the House, we got to meet Congressman Dan Goldman on the House steps. He was very gracious and spent several minutes with us. I told him I had previously worked as COS for a Member of Congress and we had a good conversation. We also spoke with two CNN reporters as we walked into LHOB. And we took the regular Capitol Tour the next day. Our guide was phenomenal and it was free. Just register for the Capitol Tour on their website and skip this group tour. And I want a refund.

If there is any way to get Dwayne, that’s the way to go. The amount of little detailed info made the tour so much better than just seeing the sights. Don’t just ‘visit’ these sites, TOUR them
Only way to tour
