In addition to the self-guided Heritage Trail the Benedictine Community has also introduced Daily Guided Town Tours. these depart from the Museum at 11.00am and at 1.30pm. in the company of an experienced guide visitors are taken inside the buildings not otherwise open to the public and can hear a more complete history of this unique settlement.

Undoubtedly, the highlight of the tour is the opportunity to view the grand interiors of St. Gertrude's and St. Ildephonsus'. Both feature elaborate pressed metal ceilings, extensive murals and decorative paint finishes and their fine craftmanship of Senor John Casellas the master woodcarver who worked at New Norcia early this century.
