• Private tours are generally scheduled on weekdays between 9:30 am and 4:00 pm. Tours are conducted when there are no other activities at the Cathedral Basilica and can be reserved months in advance.
• Tours can be scheduled on Saturdays, but only one month in advance.
• A public tour is given on almost all Sundays after 11:00 am Mass. No reservation is necessary.
• Tours can last from between 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on the interest of the group.
• Tours are limited to 50 people (adults and/or students) total.
• There is no charge for a tour, but a goodwill offering of between $1 – $2 per person is suggested.
• Bus parking only is available directly in front of the Cathedral Basilica main entrance (with a bus placard). On weekdays, the parking lot is not available, but there is plenty of public parking in the area.
• If available, there is a room we offer groups if they need a place to have a bagged lunch before or after their tour.
• The gift shop is not always open during tours.
• Tour guides are volunteers. If we are unable to secure a guide for your tour, you are more than welcome to take a self-guided tour.
• If a solemn event (e.g. a funeral) comes up on the date/time of your tour, we would have to reschedule and would give you as much notice as possible.
