An emphatic suggestion for US citizens, check your LOCAL state representative and senator(s) websites for tour options. They are FREE of charge and scheduled based on availability.

A few years ago, I had a nice long DC stay and requested every available tour my congressman's office offered.

  • The U.S. Capitol
  • Department of the Interior Monuments Tour
  • FBI
  • Kennedy Center for Performing Arts
  • Library of Congress
  • Supreme Court
  • White House Tour

These were not available during my stay:
  • Department of State Diplomatic Reception Rooms (IIRC, was not offered 4 years ago)
  • National Archives Tour
  • Bureau of Engraving and Printing

This year, I'm only going to be in town for the day, requested and secured the all-day Monuments tour again. ^
