Many visitors to the campus during the summer months have discovered that one of the easiest ways to learn about Yale's landmarks, legends and lore is to take a guided tour of the campus. Free tours are offered daily by student guides from the Visitor Information Center, located at 149 Elm St.
The office provides maps of the University, books, postcards, videos and a schedule of guided tours. Its hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4:45 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Tours last approximately one hour and leave from the center at 10:30 a.m. and
2 p.m. Monday-Friday, and at 1:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For further information, call 432-2300.
Volunteers from the New Haven community also offer free one-hour walking tours around the New Haven Green that begin at the Visitor Information Center. These "New Haven First" tours inform participants of some of the cultural and technological advances that originated in New Haven or were introduced by city residents. They are offered every Thursday at noon. Tours leave from 149 Elm St. Call 432-2302 for further information.
