All White House tours must be requested through a congressional office. Although tours are requested through congressional offices, the White House controls access to all tours. As the White House is granting requests on a first-come, first-served basis, we recommend requesting tickets well in advance of the desired date, up to six months in advance of your visit. Due to the high demand for White House tours and increased security screening, Congressional offices are not able to guarantee tickets to anyone.
If would like to request a tour of the White House, please submit a tour request with all the required information. Our office tour coordinator will contact you to explain the White House's new tour system.
