Yes, we strongly suggest that you book your tour in advance! We often sell out and cannot always accomodate walk ups. Also, we do not accept same day reservations online.

When you make a reservation online, you will receive 2 confirmation emails. One email from the Maloof Foundation and one email from PayPal. If you do not receive both emails, please contact us to confirm your reservation went through. Once you have received both emails, please confirm that the date and time are correct. If you notice an error, please contact us immediatly as we cannot always get you on a tour if you show up at the wrong time or date. There is no ticket to print out or bring. You can bring the email you receive that shows the time and date of your tour, if you would like. On the day of your tour, please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your tour. You will check in at our Visitor Center. To check in all you need is your name, we will verify that we have you on a tour that day and direct you to where you will meet your docent.

Unfortunately, all of our tours are non refundable. However, we would be happy to help you select another date that works for your schedule. Please contact us at 909-980-0412 to discuss your options.
