Number of guides

The rates that we indicate are for a sole guide. If you wish, you may choose to have two or three guides in order to create smaller groups. The rate for the visit would then be multiplied by the number of groups you have planned on.

Please note the following :

• For visits to Albi, which are entirely by foot, we limit the number of participants to 50 for each guide retained. For more than 50 people a second guide is necessary.
  
• If your program includes a visit to the Toulouse-Lautrec museum, it is highly recommended that the number of people per group be less than 50, for the comfort and satisfaction of all. The museum does not allow 50 people to stand in front of one work of art at a time.

Our rates

The rates indicated for each visit are valid all year, including Sunday and most official holidays.

 There are only three dates that require a double rate: New Year’s Day, the first of May and the 25^th of December.
