Reservations are required and requests may be submitted by our office to the White House up to 90 days in advance and no less than 7 days in advance. The White House will notify groups directly if their group has been approved or denied for the tour. The White House will notify groups approximately 2 weeks before their requested tour dates.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Constituents wishing to tour the FBI are required to submit requests through my office. Tours are offered Monday through Friday at the hours of 9:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. FBI tours may be scheduled at the earliest, five months in advance and must be scheduled no later than four weeks before your requested tour date. At this time, the FBI Experience has limited the group size to thirty visitors per tour time. If your group is larger than 30, it will be split into two separate tour times. For example, with a group of 38, 30 guests can be scheduled for 1:00pm and the remaining 8 guests can be scheduled at 2:00pm. The FBI Experience tour is designed to last between 60 and 90 minutes. In order to request an FBI Experience tour, my office must submit secure information on your group’s behalf. This includes but is not limited to; social security number, date of birth, etc. The Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits the release of sensitive information without proper approval.
