Per tour, not per person. 60 to 90 minutes, private, plus your guide's email afterward.
Questions.
Why pay when the university tour is free?
Because the free one is thirty people on a fixed route that never leaves campus. Most of your kid's life there happens outside it.
Who gives the tour?
A currently enrolled student at that school, trained by us and named on this site. We match them to what your student cares about.
Are you affiliated with the university?
No. We are independent, not endorsed by any school, and we do not sell admissions advice.
What happened to Tour the Hill?
Tour the Hill is us. The Hill is a Boulder place, so the name stopped working once we started opening other towns. Same guides, same reviews. Boulder bookings still run through tourthehillboulder.com while we finish the move.
