Congressional offices can request a tour for constituents and the White House will schedule them on a first-come, first-serve basis. The White House will not accept requests less than a month in advance. During peak season especially (March through August), tours fill up very fast so a 6-month advance notice is preferable. (Note: tours are extremely limited and not guaranteed even with early notice; groups with approved tours are subject to background security checks and last minute cancellation due to White House special events, emergencies, or White House scheduling changes).
