Join a guided tour
For a truly immersive experience
Join a friendly and knowledgeable guide on a small-group exploration of Sainte-Marie! It’s a great way to take a deeper diver into the story of the historic mission headquarters.
Tours are 60 to 90 minutes in length. Please arrive a minimum of 15 minutes before your tour start to ensure you don’t miss anything. Tour participants spent a lot of time outside and are encouraged to dress for the weather.
Please note that reciprocal programs, including complimentary admission between the Martyrs’ Shrine and Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, do not apply to special events, guided tours or group bookings.
