I got to do that tour awhile ago back when George W was still in office. As KG said, you get to go though a few of the rooms, but I still enjoyed the tour. The Capital tour is a pretty good one too and I think it is arranged the same way though your congressman too. Try to do both, while you're there.

Here was the response:
I just received your request to tour the White House. I am happy to assist you with that request, but I will need some additional information from you in order to do so. The White House now requires security information for everyone that plans to tour in order for me to submit a request. As such, I have attached an excel spreadsheet that outlines all of the required information, and once I receive a completed form back from you, I will be happy to submit your request to tour.
Please note that once we submit your request to the White House, the process is then in their hands. This means that a tour can be assigned as early as 7:30 AM, and unfortunately we are unable to make any changes to the date and time if they are able to accommodate your tour. The White House will let us know about two weeks prior to the dates requested as to whether or not they are able to accommodate your request, at which point we be back in contact with you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email our office and we’ll be happy to help in any way that we can.

I vouch for Mrs Bill the Cat.
Mrs Bill the Cat vouches for me and for our buddy Sam.
We swear we are good people.
No, we never visit TWEB.

Originally posted by mossrose View PostBut maybe they charge you to get out?
We have an island province that is free to get onto, but you have to pay to get off.
You can arrive by either ferry or VERY, VERY, VERY long bridge () and it costs nothing for either.
You have to leave by either of those methods (or I suppose you could fly there and fly off...........) but you have to pay to leave.
Good thing we knew about it before hand and had enough money to get off!
Reminds me of the Kingston Trio's MTA Song --- they raised the price, and a guy didn't have enough money, so he had to ride the subway forever!

Visiting the White House
If you ever want to have a self-guided tour of the White House, you have to get approval from your Congressman. I just sent a request form into mine, and a good friend of mine knows the Congressman personally, so he is making a few calls to get the request expedited. I had no idea it was so difficult to visit a building that we taxpayers paid for...
Anyway, I will let you all know how the process goes just in case you have an inkling to visit.
