Guided and Group Tours

Capitol Tour Guides are available for guided tours of the Capitol during regular hours. They are located in the Capitol’s underground extension, just beyond the Bank Street entrance lobby and security screening area.

Group Reservations
Groups of 10 or more should reserve their tour in advance by calling the Capitol Tour Office at (804)698-1788 or emailing capitoltourguides@captourguides.virginia.gov.

Free indoor guided tours last about one hour. In addition to seeing the Rotunda, Jefferson Room, Old House Chamber, and Old Senate Chamber, tour groups may visit the present-day legislative chambers located in the 1906 wings (when the General Assembly is not in session), and, during session, visitors are welcome to sit in the public galleries.
