The short answer to this is, “No,” especially with the recent increase in security caused by the events of September 11th. The FAQ on the CIA website, in answer to this question, refers the public to a section of the website called the CIA Virtual Tour with pictures of various locations around the property. If you try to just drive up to the gate and ask for a tour (as some of the members of the Kryptos Group have done), you will be turned away by large men with guns who will politely but firmly tell you that access is for those with “Official Business” only. If you’d like to try and ask for a tour anyway, you should work through the CIA’s Public Affairs office.
