Tours and Tickets
Thank you visiting the Tours and Tickets section of our website! Below you will find a list of D.C. attractions along with their respective contact information. Please contact them directly with any questions you may have regarding a tour.
U.S. Capitol and White House Tours
If you are looking to schedule a tour of either the U.S. Capitol or the White House, please fill out the tour request form at the bottom of this page and a member of our staff will assist you with booking your tours. We ask that you request your tour at least one month in advance, as spots tend to fill up quickly.
***Please Note: Constituents should be advised that since the week before the Presidential Inauguration, the White House Tour System has been offline and congressional offices have not been able to submit White House tour requests on behalf of their constituents. Our office had been accepting requests and “holding” them until the White House Tour System came back online which, we were led to believe, would have been immediately after the new Administration was sworn in.
This was not the case and we have just received word this week that the White House will be resuming public tours beginning March 7th, 2017. Below is the link to the official announcement.
All White House Tours requested through our office for dates before March 7th cannot be submitted by our office and will not be granted by the White House.
In addition, any tours requested for the 21 days after March 7th have a low probability of acceptance due to the White House policy of not accepting requests 21 days in advance.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience this has caused. Please know that we chose to delay updating you regarding this matter until we had concrete information to share with you.
Should you submit a White House tour request with our office, we will submit the request as soon as the White House tour system is able to receive them (March 7th). Should you not hear back from us two weeks before your requested tour date, please call our D.C. office immediately for further information. Our D.C. office number is (202) 225-3465.
