Tours and Tickets

Our office is happy to help constituents arrange tours of some of Washington, D.C.’s most popular attractions, including the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court. 

Tours are a wonderful way to experience the history and institutions that shape our nation. Because demand is high, especially during spring and summer, we encourage you to submit your request as early as possible. 

How to Request a Tour 

To request a tour, please complete the form below. Our staff will work directly with each tour site to accommodate your visit, subject to availability. 

All tickets are provided to constituents on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the large number of visitors, particularly during spring and summer. Please submit your request at least 3-4 weeks in advance, and ideally several months ahead for White House and FBI tours, which require additional security clearance. 

Once your tours have been booked, you will receive a confirmation email from my office with information about dates, times, and how to access your tours.
