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 (lasting about an hour) are offered daily by student guides from the Visitor Information Center. The office also provides maps of the University, books, postcards, videos and a schedule of guided tours. Its hours are 9 a.m.-4:45 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

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.
