Please note: Capitol visitors are not permitted to bring aerosol sprays, liquids of any kind (including water bottles), unsealed food, oversized suitcases or backpacks, knives of any kind, razors, mace, pepper spray, matches, or lighters. However, Capitol Police are authorized to make exceptions if the prohibited item is deemed to be necessary and required to serve child care, medical, or other special needs.

Senator Tester’s office can assist you in requesting a tour of the White House.
White House tours are available Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. In order to best accommodate your request, please submit your Tour Request Form as soon as possible—at least 21 days prior to your visit, but preferably closer to three months in advance.
Please note: White House tours are in very high demand, especially during holidays and the spring and summer months. Therefore, submitting a request does not guarantee a tour will be accepted by the White House.
All tours are self-guided and typically 45 minutes long. Tour officers are positioned throughout the White House to help answer questions and provide information. Specific times for tours cannot be requested.
Once the request is submitted, you will receive an email with an encrypted RSVP link. You will have one week for everyone in your party to submit security information and RSVP. The link can be emailed to other members of your group to complete their individual information, or the point of contact can enter the entire group’s security information. After the one week deadline, any incomplete RSVPs will be voided.
Please understand that tour request acceptance or denial is solely at the discretion of the White House Visitor Center.
