How can I tour the White House?

Tours of the White House are available by advance arrangement through your member of congress or senator. Tours are arranged for groups of ten or more, but smaller groups and families should not be discouraged from requesting to join a tour. You should submit a request through your congressperson's office at least one month and up to six months in advance. Visitors who are not US citizens should contact their embassy in DC about tours for international visitors, which are arranged through the Protocol Desk at the State Department. The tours are self-guided and will run from 7:30 am until 12:30 pm Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call the White House Visitors Center at (202) 456-7041 or visit www.whitehouse.gov. You can locate your congressperson's office by visiting www.house.gov. For your senator's office, visit www.senate.gov.
