Serlachius is a versatile and popular group tour destination. The art and history experience is suitable for groups of friends, associations, well-being days and, for example, groups interested in industrial history or architecture.
We offer a variety of themed guided tours for groups of all sizes. You can choose from guided tours to Serlachius Manor, Serlachius Headquarters or specific exhibitions. We also organise, for example, themed guided tours focusing on the story of Serlachius and the history of the paper industry in Mänttä and the architecture.
Immerse yourself in memorable drama tours! A perennial favourite among groups is the drama tour ’Working for the Company’, which guarantees shared laughter. Another highlight is the drama tour performed by professional actors, ’Scenes from the Life of the Mill Owner’, written by Karoliina Blackburn.
We provide all participants with high-quality headphones that amplify the voice of the guide and divide large groups into smaller ones when needed. Our guided tour typically lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. Guided tours are available in Finnish, Swedish and English, with some also offered in German.
The price of the group tour depends on the size of the group, among other factors. Please note that the price of a guided group tour at Serlachius always includes admission, it is not charged separately.
Allow 4–5 hours time to immerse yourself in history, art and wonderful taste experiences!
The price of the example program and catering starts from about 50 €/person when there are at least 20 participants in the group.
Special benefit: we offer a 5 € discount on the price of the excursion program for holders of a valid Museum Card.
