DC: US Capitol & Library of Congress/Supreme Court Tour｜United States

Explore the heart of American democracy on Capitol Hill with reserved, timed-entry tickets and a guide who knows these halls inside and out. This is a hassle-free experience: we reserve all your entry tickets in advance, so you can skip the planning and go straight to the history.

Choose the option that fits your interests:

US Capitol & Library of Congress (3 hours, small group of up to 15): Step inside the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress, the largest library on Earth, and take in the breathtaking Main Reading Room, the Gutenberg Bible, and Thomas Jefferson's personal library. Then head into the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center for the "Out of Many, One" film and a 30-45 minute docent-led tour of the Capitol Rotunda, the crypt, and National Statuary Hall.

US Capitol & Supreme Court (2.5-3 hours, small group of up to 15): Begin at the iconic U.S. Supreme Court, one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, with its grand Corinthian marble columns and storied traditions. Then explore the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, enjoy the "Out of Many, One" film, and take a 30-45 minute docent-led tour of the Rotunda, crypt, and National Statuary Hall.

BIG 3 Capitol Hill Landmarks (4 hours, semi-private, up to 10): The all-in-one experience. See all three landmarks (the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, and the U.S. Capitol) on a single guided tour, with everything reserved and done for you.

Want a more personalized experience? Upgrade any tour to a PRIVATE tour with a dedicated guide for just your group. (Please note: the 45-minute official Capitol docent portion is shared with other groups.)

Along the way you'll discover famous statues, hidden history, and remarkable stories tucked throughout these halls. In the quieter off-season winter months, tours may also access the Old House and Senate Chambers. Come ready to look up, ask questions, and see American government in a whole new way.

Please note on availability: the Library of Congress is closed on Mondays and the Supreme Court is closed on weekends, so those options aren't available on those days. The BIG 3, which includes all three landmarks, runs Tuesday through Friday, making it the best choice for a full Capitol Hill experience.

A perfect fit for first-time visitors to Washington, DC, history buffs, families with kids, students and school groups, and anyone planning a National Mall sightseeing itinerary. This Capitol Hill walking tour pairs easily with the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, White House, Smithsonian museums, National Archives, Union Station, and the U.S. Botanic Garden, all a short walk or Metro ride away. Highlights include the Capitol dome and Rotunda, the Apotheosis of Washington, National Statuary Hall, the Senate and House of Representatives chambers, and the Library of Congress Main Reading Room. Skip the guesswork of arranging government tours and congressional tickets: we handle the timed-entry reservations for you.
