I've done the U.S. Capitol Tour(s) 40-50 times. With the Capitol Dome, Rotunda, Senate Brumidi Corridors and East Senate Facade restoration completed (as of Sept. 2017), the U.S. Capitol is nearly at its best (Senate West facade is still scaffolded). A lot of visitors do the main U.S. Capitol Tour, which visits the Rotunda, Supreme Court Chamber and a few other sights, but, only a handful of visitors do the other special tours. Currently Oct 2017), there are two additional tours; The Halls of the Senate Tour (1 p.m. M-F) is a stunning array of corridors on the Senate side designed/painted primarily by Constantino Brumidi, an Italian Immigrant who also painted the 'Apotheosis of Washington' on the ceiling of the Capitol Rotunda (see my pics). A new tour, 'Freedom Fighters' is a very interesting and informative tour about various historic individuals and their fight for the freedoms in America. The highlight is the Old Senate Chamber, another one of my favorite interiors. Great tour guide on this one.
