Visiting DC
Scheduling Tours
With advance notice, I am happy to schedule tours of the Capitol Building, selected federal agencies, and other D.C. attractions for constituents. I also encourage residents of New York's First District to stop by my office to pick up House Gallery passes at any time.
Please keep in mind that tours are scheduled on a “first come, first served” basis. Kindly make requests for Capitol at least one month in advance, and please see the chart below for other tour request guidelines. We will do our best to accommodate your requests, though we cannot guarantee the availability of any tours.
*Please note that the White House requires additional security information, which my staff will contact you to request.
Self-guided tours conducted Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am to 10:30 am. Requests should be made at least six months in advance. The White House will notify my office two weeks before the requested date as to whether the request was confirmed or denied. My office will confirm with you immediately thereafter. | |
My office conducts staff-led tours Monday through Friday. Capitol Guide Service conducts tours Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. Passes are required and can be obtained either by contacting my office or by visiting: www.visitthecapitol.gov . To visit areas of the Capitol beyond the Capitol Visitor Center, an advance reservation is required. Note that tour schedules fill up quickly, so it is advisable to book a tour well in advance of your visit to Washington. | |
