Tours

Capitol tours are available to the general public Monday – Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Tours will be booked 20 minutes or 50 minutes after the hour.

Advance reservations are required for all tour participants. Please note that school groups cannot exceed 50 persons and all other groups are limited to 15 persons.

Capitol Visitor Services will also accept reservations and constituents are now able to reserve their own tours directly through the CVC. 

The decision to reinstate limited tours has been made in coordination with Congressional Leadership, the U.S. Capitol Police Board, the Attending Physician, Capitol Visitor Services, and the U.S. Capitol Police. Tours will be monitored by Capitol Visitor Services so that modifications can be made if recommended by the Office of the Attending Physician. 

The details of what a full reopening of the Capitol Visitor Center would look like are still being worked out. Please continue to visit this site for additional updates as we get them. Thank you.

The Senate Office Buildings are now open to the public. Constituents and visitors may also request Senate Gallery passes and pick them up from my office located in the Russell Senate Building.

Consistent with prior practices, public tour requests must be submitted a minimum of 21 days in advance and no more than 90 days in advance of the requested tour date(s). Reservations cannot be accepted for tour dates outside this 21-90 day window.

Additionally, the White House will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation with guidance based on recommendations from the CDC, and other public health officials and reserves the right to adjust availability of the public tours as necessary to adhere to the latest health guidance. Within the 10 days prior to the public tour, anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19, has had any COVID-19 symptoms, or been in close contact with someone confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19, should stay home. Face masks will be available when entering the White House complex for those who prefer to wear them.

Public tours of the FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. will resume starting January 17, 2023.
