The capitol was beautiful and for the most part everyone was friendly. I spoke with 2 different people at the information desk that were very friendly and helpful. The gentleman that was at the stairs to the observation deck was great and eager to share information. I'm giving only 4 stars because the tour guide was very rude. I've toured 28 capitol buildings and never once had a tour guide be so rude.
We met only friendly, informative people at the beautiful Capitol Building. Steve, in particular, gave us a great background on Madison from the upper observation area. Greg and I are Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiasts,, and we’re happy to get the printout on buildings in the area.
Annette is brilliant! Steve is so knowledgeable! Daina is lively! Jim Schaff is timely! Greg is energetic! Ted is fun! Mary talks an octave higher than her real voice! John tells great stories! Jim Miller is knowledgeable in politics! Ed has great jokes! OJ has a kind smile! John from the observation deck is always willing to listen! Roger is a fun guy to talk to! Chris is knowledgeable and says things in a way anyone can understand! PLUS THE OFFICERS ARE SOME OF THE KINDEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO MEET! I’m talking to you Officer Jim!
