Overview

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 your guide will guide you through the architectural history of the US Capitol and reveal little known history of the building before providing you with reserved passes for a federal guide-led tour of the United States Capitol.
