Smaller group than what you will experience in each facility and more detailed history compared to the official capitol tour guide.
Our tour was well worth the money. Our guide, Isaiah, was very knowledgeable of the information shared with us on the tour. We had a bonus tour of the Supreme Court since they weren’t in session. I would definitely recommend this tour.
You see a lot, but there are many things explained that you would not know of otherwise. Guides are very knowledgeable, very friendly, and go out of their way to accommodate your needs. Joe was excellent!
Our guide Joe was great and extremely knowledgeable. He moved us along at a great pace and the flow through the different buildings was smooth. He was able to tailor the discussions around where everyone was from and show us our state specific monuments.
The tour was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We still had to wait in line for the tours, but early enough in the day to be reasonable.
Great and easy way to see The Capitol and Library of Congress. Everything was handled for us. Great communication and directions provided. We really enjoyed having Joe as a tour guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable.
Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! In addition he was positive, patient, and kind! We learned a lot, got great photos, and made memories!
The only real guide was the Capital guide. Fabio was nice but did not add a lot of value. Even though we were with a tour we waited in line like everyone else, which is not what i expected.
It's easy to book. Your website is user friendly. The tour is very educational. Our guide demonstrated vast knowledge of his job. It was worth it.
Great tour, Joe, our guide, was wonderful. Would definitely recommend a guided tour of the Capitol, Library of Congress and the Supreme Court.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Joe!! He was excellent! We found him very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! We would definitely use this company for other tours in the city. 🙌🏻
Our guide Jo was extremely knowledgable and friendly. He reached out via text to make sure we knew where to connect.The tour was well paced and full of facts.
Very knowledgeable about facilities and translating knowledge to his audience. Greatly simplified entrance to Supreme Court, Capitol, and Library of Congress.
They cancelled us at the last minute. Left us at the pickup location. Said the guide had an emergency. No backup plan?
It was a small group, so we could hear Fabio and we could keep up with him. He was very informative and gave us time to browse among the displays. I would have missed a lot if I had gone by mysrlf.
Three plus hours of interesting history led by our knowledgeable and engaging guide, Fabio. The conversation and banter beyond the tour script was a welcome addition. If you could only do one tour in Washington, DC, this would be the one to choose.
Wonderful look inside the Capitol and Library of Congress. Guide was so knowledgeable and interesting. Joe really looked after the group and took care of all the details.
Joe was great. Made the tour fun and was very knowledgeable. We had one family member that was having a walking issues and Joe was able to get us elevator passes.
Fabio, the guide was very good. This is not a priority experience. You have to wait online with everybody else who do not have tickets. It was extremely crowded the day we did the tour and it took four hours instead of two hours. It is worth it to walk through the tunnel to the Library of Congress and to see the Library of Congress.
Terrible experience. Granted it was July 3rd and DC was very busy and extremely hot. BUT this was not as advertised. The only real guide was the Capital guide. Fabio was nice but gave very little information. Still had to wait over an hour for security. Could have planned it on our own with better results. And was not a small group. Had over 20 peopleAlways have had great experiences using Viatar. This was surprising.
Excellent tour with Jo. Small group of 10 people guided thru tour of US Supreme Court, US Capitol and Library on July 2nd with record heat in the NE the only downside. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Joe was very welcoming and knowledgeable. He made it feel like he was the 5th member of our party. We went to the Capitol, Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court with ease, and he had plenty of inside information to share. I would highly recommend this experience and Joe as your guide!
Our tour was so much more, and so much better than we had anticipated! Joe was FANTASTIC. He was extremely knowledgeable of all points of interest and was able to answer all of our questions. His tour was so organized and included all points of interest that we were hoping to see and more.
Today’s tour of the Capitol, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court was outstanding. Our guide, Jobait, was amazing—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history and significance of these remarkable institutions. He brought each location to life with fascinating stories and insights, answered every question with expertise, and made the experience both educational and enjoyable. We left with a much deeper appreciation for our nation’s history and government. Highly recommended!
Our guide had a thick accent and spoke very softly into the microphone so it was difficult to hear and understand him at times.
Great tour for those interested in the history and symbolism of the Capitol and Library of Congress. Our guide, Joe, was fantastic! Very friendly and personable, he made sure to find out a bit about each person in order to make sure we noticed the things of interest to us. Even during the Capitol tour led by their employee, he asked questions to give us a little more info than the usual tour. I highly recommend!
Our guide, Jobalt, who goes by Joe, was very good. He was knowledgeable about both the Capitol and the Library of Congress, and personable, in that he made an effort to connect with each member of our small group of five people. His instructions for how to comply with the entry procedures to each area were clear and well communicated. Joe mentioned that he has been guiding tours for only a couple of months, but he performed very well.
Joe was absolutely amazing. It was fun and entertaining. The awe of it all was an experience. Thank you for an amazing day
Joe was very informative and definitely had a knowledge of everything he showed us. He was friendly and attentive to the details including the need for a restroom break! He is an avid reader and gave us tidbits along the way of things you wouldn't normally know. We would highly recommend him as your tour guide. Thanks Joe!
Joe was an outstanding tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable and friendly. He catered the tour experience to our group and everyone’s background. We highly recommend him for anyone interested in going on this tour.
Fabio was wonderful, my family had a great time and we learned a lot!
Joe’s pacing was great, he speaks clearly and articulately. He built in time for restrooms and gift shops, which many tour operators neglect to do, in my experience. He interspersed the tour with cool fun facts. For the portion of the tour led by a Capitol tour guide, Joe asked questions on our behalf. His jokes were funny and interesting. He took the time to meet each of the participants and remembered details that became relevant as the tour progressed. His communication in advance of, and the morning of, the tour was great. He reminded folks by email of restrictions and reached out as the tour time approached to coordinate our meetup. He was very personable and easy to speak with.
Being umbrella if walking around in summer heat. Joe was a great tour leader very flexible in meeting us a little late.
FABIO was the best , we had a great time! Excellent tour and tour guide. He knew everything ! Especially around the library of congress!
Joe is a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and approachable. He is very attentive to our needs and answers our questions well. We were not rushed. We had a wonderful tour.

I thoroughly appreciated the tour, and Mr. Joe performed exceptionally well. He demonstrated extensive knowledge and paid meticulous attention to detail throughout the experience. His comportment and the language he employed reflected professionalism, permeating the entirety of the tour.
Joe, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, gracious and giving of his time during our visit to the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court. He seemed to genuinely love what he is doing and it was a pleasure having him as our docent.
Fabio was an excellent guide. We toured the Supreme Court, the Capitol and the Library of Congress. The tour was most helpful for us to become familiar with all three buildings. Highly recommend.
Great all round tour of the main sites, Supreme Court, Capital Building and Congress Library. Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and easy casual tour.
Joe, our tour guide was a very fantastic. I thought the tour was was for the Capital, but also included the Supreme Court and Library of Congress. Joe was very informative at all levels of discussion, I would recommend him to any and every one

I really enjoyed this tour. Joe was our guide and he is extremely knowledgeable. He gave us earpiece to be able to communicate better. He is very patient with everyone, very polite, organized and accomodating to everyone. I highly recommend this tour!
Joe went the extra mile to make sure we got to see the whole tour after it was interrupted by a security issue.

Great experience. Our guide, Joe, was extremely knowledgable.
Really enjoyed our tour of Capital and the Library of Congress. Unfortunately we did not get to go to the Supreme Court because it's closed on Saturday. Our tour guide Joe was great. Very informative . Communication throughout the process was great.
You get a lot of information and get to see 2/3 branches of government. Wonderful tour. Lots of walking and cannot bring water with you, so hydrate before you begin the tour. Joe is a great guide. He speaks clearly and has so much information to share. He makes the tour feel very intimate. I would do another tour with him to any of the other sites.
