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.

Public tour requests must be submitted a minimum of 7 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 7-90 day window. Tours are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you are visiting from a foreign nation, please contact your country's embassy in Washington, D.C. to schedule a tour. 

PLEASE NOTE: If your preferred tour date is available, you will receive an email from the White House to RSVP for each guest attending the tour. You will be given a deadline of 3 days to submit everyone's information for a background check. Security information for all guests must be provided by the RSVP deadline or the remaining spaces will be released and may not be rescheduled for the originally requested date(s).

PLEASE NOTE: Beginning on May 7, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be mandating REAL ID for U.S. citizens seeking to access certain federal facilities, including the White House Complex. In line with DHS guidance, visitors will be unable to access the White House Complex beginning May 7, 2025, without a valid form of government-issued ID: a REAL ID or a passport. Non-REAL IDs will no longer be accepted for any guests.
