Guiding Several Groups Simultaneously

Guiding Several Groups Simultaneously

Depending on the number of rooms to be visited, several groups can be guided at the same time.
Each group is led by its own student tour guide.

Please note that the group price will be charged per guided group.

Example:
Guided tour no. 1 "Six Centuries of University History".
This guided tour can be offered with up to four groups simultaneously.

Procedure:
Arrival of all participants at the Rubenow Memorial. Then divide into four groups. Each group starts with its own tour guide in one of the rooms (Council Chamber, Aula, Audimax, Karzer (student detention cell)). Then all groups rotate through the rooms until each group has visited all of them.

All tours also take place during the semester and are conducted by students of the University of Greifswald. Please understand that there may therefore be restrictions on the university tours.

If a room (e.g. the Aula) is being used for an event or for teaching purposes by the university, a tour is not possible. We will be happy to offer you alternatives so that your tour does not have to be cancelled.
