点评:We made a reservation online for a fixed time slot, but when we arrived for our self-guided tour 60 minutes early, as stated in the tour description, we realized that booking in advance was completely unnecessary. Despite our fixed time slot, we were assigned to a random queue and entered the first hall in just 10 minutes, saving an entire hour of our day. Very well organized. First, you watch a documentary in a large, comfortable room, then you're divided into groups, given headphones, and follow your guide. Tours are free and start every 15 minutes and start at Capitol Visitor Center. The last tour of the day begins at 3:20 pm.
I'm giving it four stars only because, in my opinion, they show very little—only three rooms. Keep in mind that in one part of the tour, you'll have to climb stairs (or use the elevator yourself). At the end of the tour, you'll be offered the option of visiting the buffet, the souvenir shop, or the library, for which you'll need to make a reservation. I'd recommend making this reservation upfront, and then visiting the buffet and/or the shop while you wait for your library visit.
翻译:我们在网上预订了一个固定的参观时间段,但当我们按照参观说明提前60分钟到达时,发现提前预订完全没有必要。尽管我们预订了固定的时间段,却被随机分配到了一个队伍,只用了10分钟就进入了第一个展厅,节省了整整一个小时。组织得非常出色。首先,你会在一个宽敞舒适的房间里观看一部纪录片,然后被分成小组,戴上耳机,跟随导游参观。参观是免费的,每15分钟一班,从国会游客中心出发。当天最后一班参观于下午3:20开始。
我只给了四星,因为我觉得他们展示的内容太少了——只有三个展厅。请注意,参观过程中有一部分需要爬楼梯(或者自己乘坐电梯)。参观结束后,你可以选择去自助餐厅、纪念品商店或图书馆,但图书馆需要提前预约。我建议您提前预订,然后在等待图书馆预约的时候去自助餐厅和/或商店逛逛。
