She really made the best of tough situation with unprecedented long lines to get into the Capitol building by filling us in with tons of facts about the buildings, the architecture and the history. We were very pleased with this experience.”

“Don’t buy this. It’s a con. We were at the pick up point on the map at the right time and the guide never turned up. We messaged but didn’t hear back for nearly an hour. He refused a refund. And Viator has refused a refund too so my advice is not to buy anything from them either. Just go directly to the visitor centre where you can get tours for free.”

Haunted DC night walk on Capitol Hill, 90 minutes of presidents ghost lore, photo ops, and theatrical guides for $25. English, small groups.

“Our guide was very good. He played his character very well. The stories were told well and he interacted with the group. We had a bit of rain and he did offer the "carriage" option (stay under a roof for the rest of the tour), but our group decided to continue on. I also appreciated the option to sit when we made it to the Capital. My only criticism would be that in certain areas where he stopped to talk, there was so much road noise, it was hard to hear.”
