Yes, when the tour is open to the general public.

The ADA is intended to make those services available to the general public available to those with disabilities. That is what accommodation is all about. If the non-disabled public can access it, then accommodation must be provided allowing the disabled public to access it. With certain restrictions. For instance, they only have to provide "reasonable accommodation" which means that, under the letter of the law, they can simply provide a print brochure describing the tour, rather than actually providing a terp. And also, only if they have 15 or more employees.
