You asked
Where do first-years actually live?
What you see on a tour: your guide’s live view of campus, and your questions answered as they walk.
How it works
Book a time. A student walks. You watch and ask.
1. Pick a college
Choose a campus with student guides on the ground.
Yale is live now. More campuses open as we verify guides there.
2. Choose a time and language
Times show in your timezone and the campus's.
Pay by card. No account, no password — your join link arrives by email.
3. Walk campus live
Your guide heads outside, camera on.
Join from a phone or laptop with your whole family, and ask anything for the full hour.
Why it’s different
See what your guide sees.
A virtual tour shows you campus. A live tour lets you explore it — with someone who lives there, on the actual day you’re watching.
Ask as you go
Interrupt with questions, the way you would standing next to them.
Say what you want to see
Guides steer toward it whenever it's safe and open to visitors.
The unscripted version
Real weather, real students, real walk to class. Nothing staged.
Not a video, a webinar, or a 360° tour. It’s a live video call with a student who is outside walking their campus while you watch.
You asked
Can we walk toward the engineering buildings?
Tour formats
Three ways to walk a campus
One price covers your whole family watching together on one screen.
Live group tour
$25per family
Up to 25 families
Join a scheduled walk led by a current student.
Your guide follows a planned route through campus and answers questions the whole way through.
Small group tour
$50per family
5–10 families
A smaller group, with more conversation.
Fewer families means your questions get real airtime, and the group has more say in where the walk goes.
Private tour
$100per family
Just your family
Your family and a student guide, one to one.
Tell your guide what you want to see — engineering buildings, the dorms, where students actually hang out — and they take you there.
You book every format the same way: pick the college, the time, and the language. We assign a verified student guide to your tour.
Colleges
Yale is live now. More are opening.

Planning to explore several schools?
You shouldn’t have to fly across the country to work out which campuses are worth seeing in person. Line several up in one week and compare them while they’re fresh.

Tour in the language you think in.
Language is something you choose when you book, not something you discover in a guide’s biography. Parents who don’t speak English can follow along and ask their own questions.

Common questions
- Is this a recording?
- No. A current student is physically walking campus with a camera at the time you booked, on a live video call with you.
- Can my whole family watch?
- Yes — one price covers everyone watching together on one screen. A parent and student is one booking, not two.
- What if I can't make it?
- Cancel up to 24 hours before for a full refund. If we ever cancel, you're refunded in full.
