Back when Carter was President, I was fortunate to get an insider look of the White House through a family member. He was a high ranking Admiral and worked with the Joint Chiefs at the time. He got me cleared and Photo ID'd and went to the WH with him in a Defense Department car. The experience was surreal as I got to see and enter many off-limits rooms including the Oval Office.
Very cool.
That would be such a great experience to see the inside of this beautiful and important building. I love experiencing history
We were lucky enough to get a tour for our group of 8, including 4 kids, in October. The secret service staff that we interacted with there were absolutely amazing, so great to our kiddos, and really engaging! Definitely a highlight of our DC trip!
Glad to hear it!
Been following your videos in preparation for our DC trip. Would not have been able to see or do nearly as much without all the great insider advice. We were there in mid December. No lines anywhere. Temp was about 50°, give or take. Yes, it rained off and on, but we didn’t care. The Christmas decorations were beautiful and amazing and everywhere! Stayed at the Willard, which is so close to the White House. Used Uber for most of our getting around (Mom is a young 80). Rode the Metro for fun. Cannot wait to return! This is the best resource for DC trip planning.
Awesome! The Willard is the most festive holiday hotel.
The WH tour is great. Even with the limitations of the East Wing, it’s still very cool to be inside the WH. The best part for me was looking out the huge windows onto the Wash. Monument and Jefferson Memorial. No bags or purses allowed. Very strict with this rule. Highly recommend this tour and worth all of the preplanning.
The view to the south from inside is fantastic.
This guy his a political puppet.
Repent.
So informative! Thanks so much!
Visiting next week.
Have fun!
Thanks Rob this was great info. We were able to get reservations drove into town got a prepaid parking spot, arrived at the White House Visitor Center 1 hour early and was told our tour was CANCELD. The Resident had a change in schedule. looks like we'll need to try again.
Ugh, HUGE bummer! But thank you for reminding everyone that WH reservations are not guaranteed. They can be cancelled at any time for any reason, even at the last minute.
Hi I really liked your video
I'm a Canadian from BC would it be possible to get a tour threw a Washington state Rep because there my closet one?
Thank you.
Looking at our tight schedule.. what if we may be 1/2 to 1.5 hours late for our scheduled appointment. Will we still be able to go into the Whitehouse?
1985. I had just finished college (gymnasium) in Sweden and was going to enter the military after the summer. However, I had 3 months off and went on my first ever visit to the US. I had friends staying in DC (West Falls Church) on Orange line to Vienna, and I stayed with them for two weeks. I lined up with 100s of people outside the White House (by the iron fence, in front of the classic lawn) and then after security check, was frog marched through the building INCLUDING the oval office. ...well, at least to look in. I am sad you can no longer do that. We met one famous person during the tour. It was Casper Wineberger and he was surrounded by secret service people, but he was very nice ans wished us all a great stay in DC.
...and on another note: the Washington memorial (the obilisk) was FREE in 1985.
The white house tours are very worth it, I am lucky enough to also manage to get a West Wing tour as well, but that generally is not open to the public. If you can get a tour, take it. I have been in the Roosevelt room, because the receptionist let us into it. The Oval Office was the highlight of the West Wing tour
How did you get west wing tour?
I'd love to do it
How do you get access to the west wing if its not included in the tour?
Can you suggest a nearby location to drop off and store a backpack before doing a WH tour?
Michelle’s change that allows photography inside is AWESOME
Lots of people were very happy with the change!
Hello, I really want to visit the White House, already looked up how to contact my state congress member. I’m planning for next year but don’t know if they’re still doing tours. I’m really excited
Have fun
In the tour you get to see the famous presidential portraits (Washington, Lincoln, JFK, FDR etc.) and you can see some up close. I recommend requesting the earliest time possible. My tour started at 7:30 AM and the security check was fairly quick. The best part about the Whitehouse tour is that its self guided, so you can go back to a previous room in case you missed something (which there is a ton that you can miss), so remember to take your time.
Good suggestions.
I applied for a tour in the month of September and received the ticket very quickly. Video cameras are not allowed but phones are. I was able to bring in a disposable camera that had no flash feature. Next time, I will attempt to bring in my GoPro.
Correct. Photos are allowed inside but video is not.
So the white house tour is self guided so is it just rope barriers that guide you to what areas you are allowed to go?
Hi. Do you guys offer a tour of the White House the week of Dec 26-29 2023 ?
Hi, how about as a US resident alien? Do I need to contact my embassy or I can go to the member of congress as well? Thanks!
What about if you’re a service member? Would it make it easier or quicker to get approved?
Not that I am aware of.
Would love to have gone through this when I went to DC weeks ago... a shame they canceled everyone's reservations. Could have at least been told instead of being left in the dark.
Is it allowed to take pictures inside the White House or how did u took pictures?
Pictures are allowed, yes.
I tried to request a tour through the Swedish Embassy, but it was a no go.
Bummer. But at least you got to come on our tour!
@@TripHacksDC Probably a much much better tour. Thank you !
I like to think so 😎
Yeah, they don’t allow Canadians either 😢
Thanks Dear Rob for describe nicely. Could you please assist me to get the permission to visit The White House. I'm from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Regards.
Is it possible if u are not US CItizen???
I will be there this October, a week before the presidential election. Does anyone know if that could affect my chances of getting in?
If the president is traveling a lot (likely given the election) it may reduce the number of people they allow in.
How were you able to look inside the oval office?
Apparently the general tour we are not allowed to go to the West Wing? Yet you said you could get them if you had a separate request? I have a date for May 7 at 11 AM so I suppose that does not include a West Wing tour?
The West Wing is not included
@@TripHacksDC how did you get west wing tour?
are they still taking reservations?
Not currently.
By any chance we can meet the president while in the house?
You cannot. You only get to see the east wing. The presidents office is in the west wing. If you get lucky and you get to see the west wing, it is possible.
We Love White House from Iran 🇺🇲❤️🇮🇷
Popcorn
I have not been in the White House 🏠
How did you get a tour?
Check out ua-cam.com/video/exADkzgI0zU/v-deo.html
White House down lied to me
Once your out, you can't go back in
Yep 👍
Trip Hacks DC why is that?
A security measure, I'm sure.
I was in the White House in July. Terribly overrated. More of a museum than an executive mansion.
Yeah, the public only gets to really see the 'museum-y' parts.
How does the tour take in total ?
Do you get to see the president?? I want to get a tour !!
You do not get to see the president.
Aww man I wasn't going to be mean and bully him like haters do cuz I ain't no hater oh well?!😢😳😭😔😔☺
Did you seriously just tease the West Wing tour and NOT explain how it's possible???? Spill the beans! 😂
