A group tour is a great way to experience RAMM and its collections<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not necessary for you to book a tour if you just wish to visit the museum. Self-led group visits are also welcome, however we would very much appreciate it if you would still let us know you are coming by calling 01392 265858.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your group is less than 8 people (or it’s just you) you may wish to consider buying tickets for one of our scheduled tours at Explore the museum guided tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tours offered on this page are not suitable for primary school age children, instead please look at the options available to you at Learning<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private group tours<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Subject to the availability of our volunteer tour guides, we are able to provide private group tours Tuesday through to Saturday, starting from 10.30am and finishing by 4.30pm for a total visiting group size of 30 or less. We are unable to offer evening tours when the museum is closed, unless it is part of a Venue hire<\/a> booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note the duration, cost and maximum number of participants for each type of tour below. We can usually accommodate up to two groups of 15 people at a time for the Explore the Museum Tour and two groups with a staggered start time for the Roman and Egyptian Tours. Tours have differing maximum limits due to the available space and the ability for participant to not only see what the guide is talking about, but also to hear them clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our volunteer-led tours cover the permanent collections of RAMM and last up to an hour with questions and answers at the end. The available tours include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

>> Explore the Museum Tour (1 hour \u2013 max 15 people per group, 8-12 is more comfortable)<\/strong>

Finish your tour with local history, from the first settlers in Devon to the Second World War. This one-hour tour is a great way to get an overview of the museum before going on to explore for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
