Determine the dates you want to tour the White House. As of the publication date, self-guided tours are available from Tuesday through Thursday between 7:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. On Fridays, visitors can schedule tours from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., and 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, except during federal holidays.
Contact your representative member of Congress to submit a White House tour request. You can submit a request at least 21 days and up to six months in advance. Request as early as possible to increase your chances of receiving tour confirmation. Go to Writerep.house.gov to obtain your representative's contact information.
Provide information such as your name, complete address, tour dates, phone contact, email and number of adults and kids in your party when requesting a White House tour. Be flexible and provide a range of dates to increase your chances of getting approved. More information may be required once your tour dates are confirmed.
Wait for a reply from your congressman's office. If you haven't heard back from them as your tour date comes near, call and check the status of your request.
