Derek was a great guide and would tour with him again. Supreme Court was amazing to sit in the actual chamber and learn there is actually one court higher (fun fact). The Capitol tour was a lot to take it but so glad I did.

Incredible experience. Small. Knowledgeable and took us the “smart way” so we weren’t going uphill the entire trip. Derek was fantastic
