    Here at Vizcaya it ranges from  about 4% up to 8% given the time of year and make-up of our visitors.  I believe I've heard in the past that 5% is typical.  Our audio tour comes in five languages and is an additional $5 fee on top of our $18 regular admission fee.  Visitors also have an option for a live, guided tour for an additional $5 and that take up rate seems to be similar to that of the audio tour.

    Before we discontinued renting audio guides at the EMP Museum, I personally rented them to between 20-25% of the visitors I sold tickets to.
