One of the finest university with its history starting from 1701. Loved everything about it, most beautiful part is the architecture and the library.

A nice attraction located in the center of the city that offers free Yale campus tours from college students. Definitely a great way to learn and tour the campus.We saw many buildings on campus and learned a lot of cool history.Definitely a must see while in town.

Visitors center of the University of Yale. Next to the campus and in an old wooden house. Open most of the day, provides information and assistance to all visitors. They have a small exhibition about this university and also organise free tours. We took the 1:30pm one on a Sat and it was very informative. The girl doing the tour was a student and she was very informative and passionate. Tour takes you around the campus whilst you learn about the history of this institution. The campus is amazing and a delight to see. The U.S version of Oxford!

What lovely and accommodating people. We met a security guard (last name Willis perhaps) and he was so nice and helpful. Gorgeous campus and great inspiration for my young kids. Perhaps Willis raise the bar for them today!!

Very nice facility. Good campus tour though it is best to find out timings and reserve in advance. Yale campus is a beautiful place, though the architecture made me think of religion more than education.

Its a wonderful free Yale propaganda tour from Yale students embellishing the Yale name brand.Takes about an hour. Can be very useful depending on which student you choose to follow.Highly recommended.

I started here my tour of Yale. Coincidentally, just launched a (free) guide by students from Yale. So I got a good insight into the history and allowed some glimpses behind the scenes (e.g. the accommodation of students) . After this hour I went with the campus map on my own around and looked at the departments from outside. The University recalls me leave a bit at the Free University of Berlin. Many villas campus extend through the city. Interesting!

All you need to go before checking out Yale University. Yale is One of the countrys oldest and most prestigious universities and member of the IVY League. If you are visiting New Haven in Connecticut, the Yale campus is a must see. The buildings are very pretty to see, with very nice architecture. We just do our own walking “tour). Every single building we stop and take pictures

Review №23

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. He kept things going, answered all questions and kept things moving. Rep. at visitors center was helpful except for she gave us info and location of one of highlights offered we went on location and events arent close on campus, only after long walk, event wasnt offered during the first 2 weeks when the semester begins. Not much option for food, food carts on Street or dining hall experience on campus. My nephew enjoyed the dining hall experience.

If you want to visit/tour an Ivy League college, Yale is the one!! First, it is FREE!!! Knowledgeable students give the guided tours. It is a beautiful campus with a sense of family and belonging. You will learn the insides of the different colleges at Yale, you will tour libraries which house rare books...The Bay Psalm Book! You will not be disappointed!

Hour tour, depends on who is leading the tour. Interesting information. Most places you could see on your own put would have to find them. Pace was a little fast for mother with a walker. Just a small taste of what is there.

Beautiful place. We travelled from quite far away to learn during the tour that the highlights are closed. This information was not online, even the tourguide learned only during the tour. That was dissapointing for several people from the group who has no or small chance to come back.
