Request for City Guides Private Group Tour

Group Tour Requirements - No Exceptions

Private Group tours are $10 per senior and $12 per adult with a minimum total of $120 ($100 for senior groups). (City Guides sets the donation requirements for its private group tours at this very low level to enable groups of all financial backgrounds to participate while allowing our organization to cover its processing and administrative costs. Therefore discounts below these amounts are not offered.)
A deposit of 10 walkers ($120 for adult) must be made prior to your tour date.
Please note, we require 3-4 weeks advance notice when planning a tour date.
After you submit a request using the form on this page, our volunteer coordinator or someone from the City Guides office will reach out to you within the next 15 days to discuss your tour request.
CANCELLATION POLICY: 1. If the requestor cancels the tour, then the deposit is forfeited. 2. If in an emergency the guide cannot do the tour, then City Guides will refund the deposit or reschedule the tour. 3. If there is heavy rain or other unforeseen events, the guide will call the requestor and reschedule the tour, or CG will refund the deposit. 4. If the guide is willing to do a tour and the requestor is not, then the deposit is forfeited.

Note: Our guides are all volunteers. In some cases, we may be unable accommodate a tour request. The more time in advance and flexibility you have, the easier it is to confirm a tour.

Options are great! More dates = More flexibility
