Skip the Line National Archive and US Capitol Tour

Out tour guide was so sweet, knowledgeable and joy to be with. We enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to others

This tour was amazing. Jim was a great guide and provided some tips to get in to see the important documents. He was very knowledgeable about history and the capital.

Our guide, Kyle, was great. “Skipping” the line at the National Archives is definitely a no brainer for a must do tour. We were one of the first groups to see the documents without a wait. The wait line outside was incredibly long. Not only did Kyle provide us with history about the documents, but on our walk to the Capitol, he gave us an informative overview of the Mall and some of the surrounding museums. He was engaging and interesting to talk with. At the Capitol, he got us through security and made sure we had our tickets before turning us over to the Capitol tour guides. Overall, definitely worth the price!

It was great getting into the Archives before the crowds. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. We had a great time!

Every part of our tour was fabulous, our guide Jana was amazing, very informative, took our time to explore, an overall fantastic experience.

Our guide was so personable and very informative. We loved seeing the American Documents and our kids really enjoyed the Capitol tour.

It was a wonderful tour with good variety on a warm day in September. We started at National Archives and ended at the US Capitol but I also enjoyed the time walking between. Besides being attentive to everyone’s individual needs, our guide, Jjana, was careful to point out any problems with the terrain as she led us through the sculpture garden and National Gallery of Art to enjoy a few highlights and very welcome air conditioning along the way. I also enjoyed sitting on a wall in the shade by the Museum of the American Indian as she explained the many features there and the beautiful ceremonial circle where relatives can honor their veterans’ sacrifices. Soon after, we arrived at the Capitol for an interesting orientation film and 50-minute tour by Olivia, our in-house guide who did a great job as well. Based on my time with them, I highly recommend Walks City Experiences.

To see the original documents you've only read about along with the how/when/why on display was a very emotional experience. Great!!!

Wonderful tour package and the best tour guide! I highly recommend this package for anyone wanting to view our nation's historic documents and Capitol building.
