Visiting Washington, D.C. If you are planning a trip to the Nation's Capital, my office is happy to provide you with information on many of Washington, D.C.'s popular attractions and historical landmarks.

Notice Regarding Tour Availability
Tour hours and availabilities vary throughout the year, and due to the high volume of tour requests we receive and the limited reservations accepted, we recommend that you submit your tour requests at least three months prior to your departure. Requests for tour reservations are handled on a "first come, first serve" basis, so the earlier you make your request, the more likely it will be that we can secure the reservation you would like. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee availability of any of our tours.

Please note that the White House requires six months notice when scheduling tours. Availability for White House tours is extremely limited and many requests may not be able to be filled.

Please feel free to browse the information below and if you have questions please contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202)-225-3115.
