REVIEW:
These video tours, led by members of the Bush administration, give viewers a glimpse of life in the White House and the Vice President's residence. The rooms of the West Wing, including the oval office, Roosevelt room, cabinet room, and pressroom, are featured as well as rooms on the State Floor, narrated by White House Curator William Allman. Additionally, photo essays explore the historical significance of past and present life in the rooms of the White House. Finally, panoramic views of the various rooms and histories of the White House events and traditions are available. This would make an excellent virtual field trip for students who are studying the government or the presidency.
