Important information about specific tours:
White House
In light of recently announced renovations to the Ballroom and East Wing, the White House Visitors Office has informed my office that all White House tours are indefinitely cancelled until further notice. Because of these renovations, my office is currently unable to submit a White House tour request on your behalf.
The White House has not yet provided congressional offices with guidance on when tours will reopen and what dates will be made available. If you sign up for a White House tour, my office will hold onto your request and submit it on your behalf if/when the White House opens tour slots for your requested dates.
Government Shutdown
All Capitol tours and tours of other federal facilities are suspended indefinitely due to the recent government shutdown. The impacts of government shutdowns are wide-ranging and subject to change. We will continue to update this page with the latest information. We encourage you to reach out to the office of the attraction you’re interested in visiting for more information.
There are many other public attractions throughout Washington, DC, including the monuments along the National Mall and much more, that are open to the public, require no reservation, and are free.
