Submit Your Tour Request

To help my staff schedule tours for you, please submit your request >> to my office as soon as you have selected dates for your visit.  In the event that a tour is not available, my staff can provide information on other popular attractions.

Each tour has a different procedure for making a reservation. You may hear results on a rolling basis, and often times, right up until the date of your departure. Please be aware that even with significant advance notice tour requests for the most popular attractions, particularly the White House, are often difficult to fulfill, especially during the peak tourist season of February through August. I cannot guarantee admission to any particular tour.

Please note that as a matter of congressional courtesy, my office accommodates tours only for residents of California's 31st congressional district. If you are not from my district, please contact your U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator to help arrange your tours.

If you are ready to send in your tour request, use the online Tour Request Form>> now.
