Facts for Groups:
For groups of 25 people or less: You must book at least FIVE business days in advance if requesting a guided tour. If you book a tour less than five days before, you still qualify for a group rate but the arrangement for a docent to lead your group is not guaranteed.
For groups with more than 26 people, or groups requiring catered meals: Arrangements must be made at least THREE weeks in advance to ensure docents or catering are properly organized.
A $50.00 Cancellation Deposit is required to secure groups with more than 25 people. This amount is only charged if a group fails to cancel a tour within 24 hours notice or is a "no-show."
Docent-led tour rates applies to both ticketed (GALLERY LEVEL ONE) and
non-ticketed exhibitions (GALLERY LEVEL TWO).
Groups wanting access to the Gallery before the regular hours of operation MUST have a guide.
Groups should allow at least one hour for their visits.
There is a maximum of 25 people per guide, so additional docents will be made available for larger groups at no extra charge.
AGH Members requesting a docent to guide a group including AGH Members must contact the Marketing Manager at 905-527-6610 ext. 225 for rates. Free tours are available during Sunday Tour Day.

Testimonials:
"I just wanted to say thank you so much, I can’t tell you how much (our residents) enjoyed it. It was the perfect setting, having just one person talk to them. I know it was a short tour, but that’s just what they could handle, it was perfect. They talked about it all day long to all the other people about how great it was. Most of those residents had never been to an art gallery or anything like that so they were just thrilled that they the opportunity to see all those things."
