No tours will be available on Wednesdays.

All in-person tours for the day I'm visiting are full; can I join a tour as a walk-in?
Unfortunately, we're not currently able to accommodate walk-in guests for the in-person tour. However, you're free to stop by the Coulter Welcome Center between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to ask questions, pick up more information about the university, explore the Welcome Center and grab a map to take a self-guided walk around campus.

No, they are two different tours. The Outdoor Campus Walking Route is a self-guided option, which includes both indoor and outdoor components to allow you to explore our campus. The Walking Route includes 25 stops with audio clips available for each stop; both a printed and digital version of the Walking Route map are also available.
The In-person Campus Tour is led by our Tartan Ambassadors, who'll share what it's like to be a student at Carnegie Mellon while leading guests around campus and through buildings. The Ambassadors will also highlight campus traditions, unique facilities, and more.
