Visiting Washington, DC is an exciting and educational experience. My door is always open to you, so please don't hesitate to stop by my office to visit with me and my staff during your stay.

In addition, my staff can serve as a resource to you in booking tours for your trip. Please fill out our tour request form here or contact my office at (202) 225-2190.

Below is information about our two most popular tours.

The United States Capitol

General admission tickets for the United States Capitol are available Monday through Saturday on a first come, first served basis, so arrive early.  Tickets are distributed beginning at 8:00 am, and tours are conducted from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.

Congressional staff led tours are also available daily. Please contact my office at (202) 225-2190 for information on tour times and reservations.

The White House

Due to increased security procedures enacted since September 11, 2011, it is very difficult to get tickets to tour the White House and slots are extremely limited.

Tour requests should be made up to six months in advance and requests are considered on a first come, first served basis. However, the White House does not inform Congressional offices about the status of tour requests until two weeks before the requested tour date.

Please note, all tours are subject to cancellation due to occasional security shutdowns.
