Absolutely! We're all about making sure everyone can join. Just let us know in advance, and we will do our best to customize the experience to suit your requirements! 

Our guided tours are led by trained Aalto University students who are passionate about sharing their insights and expertise with you. Get ready to be inspired!

Of course! We welcome interpreters to join the tour, just keep in mind that it might extend the duration of the tour, therefore presented content might need to be shortened. Be sure to let us know in advance so we can accommodate you accordingly. 

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to pay in cash or by card. The tour isn't paid for upfront. Instead, you'll receive an invoice afterward. Just be sure to provide all the required billing details in the form, and we'll take care of the rest, ensuring a smooth invoicing process without the need for additional email correspondence.

Only just slightly. Inside of the buildings the content is the same regardless of the season. During the winter period (December – February) outdoor paths may become wet and slippery, therefore our guides may choose shortcuts or paths that are safer. We recommend that during the winter season visitors wear footwear that allows them to comfortably transition outside between the buildings.  

The main difference is that guided campus tours focus on campus facilities, architecture and campus experience as a whole. Guided thematic visits and tours focus on a specific theme or infrastructure. 

Guided campus tour and guided thematic visit/tour can be combined in one visit but the visitor(s) need to agree on that themselves by contacting relevant people, unless they have a designated host that is coordinating the whole programme.
