Washington DC Capitol Hill Guided Walking Tour

Your journey begins at the Neptune Fountain, right outside the Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building. Meet your guide and begin your adventure. We walk to the Supreme Court where you'll learn about the prison that once stood on the site and the symbolism-filled architecture of the Supreme Court building.
Then we head inside the Supreme Court where your guide will discuss the complex history of the institution, notable justices, landmark cases, and the secrets of the building.

Next we enter the Library of Congress, the world's largest library. Your guide's reserved passes will bring you into the heart of knowledge. You will see Thomas Jefferson's library, the basis for the Library's collection, and see the grandeur of the Main Reading Room.

Finally, we see the hidden gem of Capitol Hill, the Folger Shakespeare Library. The building holds the world's largest collection of the printed works of Shakespeare, an Elizabethan Theatre, and many hidden details.
