Senator Tester's office can assist you in requesting a tour of the White House. All tours are self-guided and tour officers are positioned throughout the White House to help answer questions and provide information.

In order to best accommodate your request, please submit your Tour Request Form as soon as possible, at least three to six months in advance of a visit.  Please note that tours fill up very quickly in the spring and summer months and during holidays. Therefore, submitting a request before the deadlines above does not necessarily guarantee a request will be accepted by the White House.

Before making a tour request, please note:

• Please indicate the days and times that you are available for a White House tour.
  
• The White House receives a large volume of requests from all 535 Congressional offices. In order to increase your chances of receiving a tour, we recommend making yourself available on as many days as possible. The greater your flexibility, the greater your chance of participating in a tour.
  
• Tours are typically 45 minutes long and are scheduled Tuesday through Saturday between 7:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Specific times for tours cannot be requested.
  
• Tours of the White House are scheduled by the White House Visitor Center no sooner than four weeks before the requested tour date. As soon as our office receives information about your request, we will update your party.
  
• Once the request is submitted, the number of people allowed on the tour cannot be changed.
  
• Before a tour request can be submitted on your behalf, security information must be sent to our office. This includes the full name, Social Security number, date of birth, current city and state of residence, gender, and country of citizenship for each member of the group.
  
• Tour schedules always depend on official events taking place in the White House. Occasionally, the White House may change its tour schedule or reschedule tours.
  
• Please be aware that visitor access records to the White House Complex will be made publicly available 90-120 days after the date of visit. This policy includes all guests touring the White House. In the event that you are confirmed for a White House tour, your full name and the date of your visit will be part of the publicly released records. Your date of birth, Social Security Number and all other information provided will not be released.
  
• Please understand that tour request acceptance or denial is solely at the discretion of the White House Visitor Center.

You can request a White House Tour by completing the Tour Request Form.

A great alternative to a formal tour is a visit to the White House Visitor Center, located at the corner of 15th and E Streets, NW. The White House Visitor Center is open seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The center features information about many aspects of the White House, including its architecture, furnishings, first families, social events, and relations with the press and world leaders, as well as a 30-minute video presentation. The White House Historical Association also sponsors a gift shop.
