Visiting Washington DC and I don't want to miss attractions due to tickets being sold out

White House tours must be requested through your US congress representative or senator's office. You must request a ticket at least 21 days in advance.

If you wish to visit the White House and are a citizen of a foreign country, please contact your embassy in Washington, DC for assistance in submitting a tour request. source

Tours occur on Tuesday - Thursday and Saturday, mainly in the morning. More information is available on this website (I'm not sure this is an official government website) and from Whitehouse.gov.

For the US Capitol, if you are a US resident, you can also book a tour through your member of Congress (representative or senator). If you are not a US resident, you can book directly with the Capitol visitor center. There are some same-day passes, but getting a tour, particularly in spring/summer (busy season), is not guaranteed.

The Smithsonian is actually 11 museums and galleries located on the National Mall and 6 other museums located throughout the D.C. area. The main website is here.

I believe you'll have to check individual museum or gallery sites to find out more information on tours. Most, if not all, should have self-guided audio tours.
