Group visits without a guide

Would you prefer to visit the GUM yourself in a group, without a guide? If so, we offer a group rate for groups of 10 people or more. Always inform the GUM if you are coming as a group (mail to info.gum@ugent.be) and reserve your time slot. We cannot provide an invoice for a visit without a guide.

Group visits with a GUM or Botanical Garden guide

Of course you can visit the GUM or Botanical Garden in groups as well. We would be happy to organise a guided tour for you! A tour of the GUM or a tour of the Botanical Garden and its greenhouses takes about 1½ hours.

Discover the highlights of the GUM and see inside a scientist’s mind! Tours are offered in various languages. Feel free to ask about the options available. Our guides are specially trained and speak over 10 languages between them.

We limit the number of participants to 15 per group.

In order to process your request smoothly, we ask you to book at least one month in advance. Thank you!

Group visits with an external guide

You can also visit the GUM with an external guide. This is subject to a ‘speaking fee’ of 10 euros.
Always inform the GUM if you are coming as a group (mail to info.gum@ugent.be) and register your group for a time slot. We cannot provide an invoice for a visit with an external guide.
