Washington D.C. is a fantastic destination. The rich and vibrant history of the United States can be seen in every museum, gallery, and monument that fills our nation’s capital. Whether you are stopping in for the day, or exploring for the week, our office would love to share the past, present, and the future of our nation with you.

My office is pleased to serve Texans by offering to help schedule tours of the White House and U.S. Capitol. Due to a high volume of tour requests paired with a limited amount of tour slots, we cannot guarantee tickets. The suggested time frame for requests is below: 

1.       White House Tours: The White House opens their calendar for tour requests three months prior to the desired date. We ask that you submit your request to our office no less than four months prior to your desired date. This will give us the opportunity to process your request and submit it on the date it opens, significantly increasing your chance at getting a White House tour. Please keep in mind that the White House does not have tours on Sunday or Monday. The White House will not accommodate tour requests with less than two weeks’ notice.

2.       Capitol Tours: We encourage constituents to submit a Capitol Tour request no more than three months in advance. Please note, we do not offer staff-guided tours on the weekends.

Again, thank you for contacting our office regarding your upcoming visit to Washington, D.C. My staff looks forward to organizing a tour for you. It is truly an honor to serve you in the Senate.
