Walk Capitol Hill in a small group, touring the U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and Folger Shakespeare Library with a guide.

About this tour

Explore Washington DC’s Capitol Hill on a four-hour guided walk through some of the nation’s most significant civic and cultural landmarks. With a group of 10 guests or fewer, you can hear the stories behind the buildings while enjoying a more personal experience.

Visit the U.S. Capitol with reserved passes for historic spaces, then tour the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. The experience also includes admission and a tour of the Folger Shakespeare Library. A professional guide leads the route and helps bring the history, architecture, and role of these institutions into focus. Timed reservations and security procedures shape entry to federal buildings, so the group must arrive together and enter on schedule.

Meet outside the Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building at Neptune’s Court fountain, and plan to arrive 15–20 minutes early. Public transit is encouraged because parking near the Capitol complex is limited. Choose this Washington DC Capitol Hill walking tour for a close-up look at landmark institutions, guided by someone who can connect their stories along the way.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Washington DC
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 28% in Washington DC means it ranks in the top 28% of tours in Washington DC by this score.
