Where are you touring?
Chose CU because of these guys. Gave me the best tour of my life and really told me what I needed to know, not like the campus organized ones.

Incredibly helpful showing campus in a way other tours don't. Great people and perfect time length.

Our guide walked us throughout campus and answered any questions we had in a very honest and informative way. A great way to get first hand information on the school, and it helped us parents feel more comfortable.

This private tour is a must if you're considering the University of Colorado. It's rare to get that kind of perspective in a one-on-one setting with a current student. Our son left feeling well-informed and even more confident about his decision.

If you're seeking a personalized, 1:1 experience for your kiddo, look no further. He feels much more equipped to make a decision about CU Boulder.

What stood out most was their ability to customize the experience so everyone could see the parts of campus they were most interested in. The pricing was very reasonable for the level of personalization.

We used them for our MS Mechanical Engineering admitted student day. Super easy to work with, adjusted day of for the attendees, and very professional.

Fun tour. The guides were very upbeat and informative. I am a CU alum and it was fun to share my experience and view The Hill through their eyes.

The best thing we could have done. Time so well spent. A wealth of information we could never have so efficiently gotten.

Prior to moving to Boulder for school I didn't know a thing about town or things to do as a student. Super informative, and it helped us walk through what life actually looks like living in Boulder.

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.
What does it cost, and how long is it?
From $150 for the tour, not per person. Sixty to ninety minutes, private, plus your guide's email afterward. Groups and institutional bookings are quoted on a call.
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.
