The People’s House will open again.

White House tours resume on Nov. 5 for three days weekly through Jan. 15. Eliminated in March because of sequester cuts to save overtime cost for Secret Service agents, the tours reopen as part of the government shutdown compromise.

The self-guided tours include the East Wing, first floor and ground floor of the White House. In the past, tours last about 40 minutes.

Tickets are only available through Congressional representatives and U.S. Senators. Foreigners can request tickets through their ambassador. In the past, requests took three to six months to fulfill, depending on the time of year. You have to provide your Social Security Number that’s run through the terrorist watch list. Bring only your photo ID with no purses or bags allowed on the tour.

Also, the White House gardens and grounds are open to the public of Oct. 26-27. Tickets are first-come at the visitor’s pavilion on the Ellipse. First Lady Michelle Obama’s vegetable garden, Rose Garden and Jackie Kennedy’s garden are on the tour.
