Capitol Hill, Supreme Court and Library of Congress tour
The city exists because Congress meets here, and on this hill you can see the institutions that define this democracy: Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Library of Congress.
The United States of America was born as a new republic, separate from England, in 1783. This new country sought to create a new system of government in which three branches: executive, legislative and judicial, have the same weight in making decisions. None of these three powers can live without the other, and this balance is what allows the country to maintain its democracy. The design of this federal capital began on that hill (Capitol Hill) and the center of government was created there. This tour focuses on the history and function of the Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the Library of Congress. We enter the Capitol and the Library of Congress. The Supreme Court is very difficult to get into and depends on the schedule of trials, for that reason we don't go inside of this building.
The tour lasts 2 hours and it is not permitted to enter the buildings with liquids, food, firearms or any sharp object (scissors, nail files, etc.).
Tours cost $55 USD per adult. Teenagers aged 10-16 pay $30 USD. Children under 9 are free. We offer special rates for groups of 5 or more.
We will meet in front of the Neptune Fountain at the Library of Congress. The nearest metro station is Capitol South; there is only one exit. Walk two blocks to reach the Library of Congress, and you will see the Neptune Fountain in front. You can also take an Uber to 64 1st St. SE Washington DC. Please do not bring food or drinks to this tour. They are not permitted inside the federal buildings we will be visiting.
