How Do I Set Up A Tour?
To schedule a tour of the White House, you must request one through your Member of Congress. You must complete a simple request form, providing basic information and your approximate days for visiting. Requests can be submitted six months in advance but no less than 21 days before your planned dates. Tours are offered on a first-come, first served basis, so it's recommended to submit your request with your Congressman or Congresswoman as early as possible.
