Tours are subject to staff availability and are not considered booked until you receive confirmation in writing from staff. If you are unsure of your dates or participant count, you may request a 30 day hold on your date. If the application and pre-payment are not received before the end of that 30-day window, the days will be released.

Rescheduling/Cancellations: Rescheduling tours is subject to staff availability. Tours may be rescheduled up to two weeks in advance. Cancellations by the group within two weeks of the tour will result in forfeiture of the pre-payment. In the event that Manatee Village staff needs to cancel your tour due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, you will receive the option to either reschedule or receive a full refund (which will be paid in check form, please allow up to 60 days to process). Manatee Village staff will reach out to you two weeks prior to your tour to confirm your anticipated attendance.

Historical displays, building restoration, and maintenance are our first priorities. Available buildings and grounds (or their appearance due to restoration) are subject to change.
