Fantastic, but very humanities based. The guide was really nice and we even ran into a professor who talked about the Psychology dept. My only complaint was that it completely overlooked the sciences.

Our guide was a really bright young foreign language major. She was very friendly and gave just the right amount of information, but lots of details about things that distinguished student life.

It was AMAZING. Definitely the best out of the 5 I've been on. The tour guide was amazing: friendly, funny, cool. The spots he took us too were beautiful and it was very informative.

Took when in the summer of '04 when I was a sophomore transitioning to a junior in high school. I graduated in '07 due to extenuating circumstances.

Pretty brief tour. The guide takes u by some campus-known statues, libraries and usually, two different residential colleges, where u should get to see the inside of a dorm room, although I didn'

It was freezing! But our guide was hillarious and had a warm, endearing personality. He was able to weave all the facts we needed to know together with funny antidotes, making the cold very bearable.

The Yale tour of the campus was great! The tour guide who was a Junior and a girl was so funny! She made the usually boring history part interesting and also showed us the important things.

The campus tour was ok. It contained way too much information about the residential colleges and stupid historical facts than about the educaiton itself.

I've never met a tour guide who talked so quickly. A lot of pushy prospective students with the "I have to make an impression so I can get in" attitude, which was a let-down, but my tour guide was really approachable and fun to talk to. He

My tour guide was amazing. She was an Asian senior from Great Britain. She had a very hipster fashion sense, and was also a radio talk show host there at Yale. She was very articulate and told so much about the Yale atmosphere. She wasn't afraid to v

Pretty impressive campus. Campus seemed to be pretty segregated from surrounding town. Tour guide was somewhat annoying

Again - Yale trains their people very well to do this kind of thing. It's not that the tour was polished, but rather that the tour guide knew exactly what would be interesting... no long-winded recitation of dates. Our tour guide revealed that she

The tour guide was perky, and though there was a large number of people on the tour, we could hear her clearly from anywhere in the pack. She was funny, down to earth, and intelligent. Saw a res. college, classroom and the campus.

Tourguides were incredibly bright; tour was interesting and highly informative. The tour goes through a variety of incredibly beautiful campus buildings, including the main library.

Big campus, but beautiful. It's just like Hogwarts. The dining hall was not as impressive as Annenburg, but still nice. We went in Beinecke Library (amazing) and all the Gothic buildings are to die for.

Fantastic! Our tour guide took us on a general tour of Yale's campus, and she then took us inside a dormitory (even into a room), into Sterling Memorial Library, and into the Commons.
