The House Sergeant at Arms recently announced that public tours of the United States Capitol Building would resume on Monday, March 28, allowing for a very limited number of staff-led tours and school groups. My office is excited to welcome visitors back to the Capitol! However, we are limited to only 1 tour with a maximum of 15 people per week under these current guidelines. When you submit a tour request, please include your available tour dates, expected number of guests, phone number, and email address. Reservations are required for Capitol tours, so please make your tour request at least three to four weeks in advance.
If you have made reservations through our office, please arrive no later than 15 minutes before your tour time. Backpacks, large purses, food items, aerosols, weapons and any liquids are prohibited in the Capitol and Capitol Visitors Center. We will be glad to hold prohibited items in our office for you while you enjoy your Capitol tour.
