Tour Descriptions: 

Capitol Hill
Major Sights include the Capitol Building, Ulysses S Grant Memorial, Supreme Court, Library of Congress and Union Station. You'll also have a chance to take in the grand structures of the Legislative and Judicial branches of government, see the Neptune Fountain, and gaze across the National Mall.
Meet at corner of 3rd and Pennsylvania Ave, NW same corner as the Grant Memorial (see map)
Metro: Judiciary Square

See the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, FDR Memorial, MLK Jr. Memorial, and Lincoln Memorial. Walk around the Tidal Basin as you visit the memorials to these great American figures.
Meet at center of field on road side of Jefferson Memorial (1 East Basin Dr, SW)
Metro: Smithsonian is the closest station, still about 1 mile walk (see map)

American Scandals Tour 
Which congressman held a press conference from an exotic dancing club? Who shot his wife's lover and got away with it? Who challenged the press to dig up dirt on him and lost? Lurid "tails" and excesses of human nature abound unapologetically at every turn. Washington DC is as famous for its dastardly deeds as for its architectural beauty or even the work done on Capitol Hill. Travel through time on our adults-only American Scandal walking tour, which serves as a humorous stroll through the indiscretions of our Founding Fathers all the way up to present day political high jinks. Disclaimer: Rated R (for Ridiculous) Reservations Required
Meet at Lafayette Square (at 16th & H Sts NW) (map) Metro: McPherson Sq or take the S2 or S4 bus down 16th St
