Sorry, the GUIDED TOURS last approx 20 -30 minutes. They depart daily at 9:30am, 11:30am, 1:30pm and 3:30pm. You do have the option to do a self guided tour with a map, which can take as long or as short as you like! The Telegraph Station is open from 9:00am - 5:00pm daily, and the self guided tours can be done anytime within those hours. Hope this helps! Jenn
