I am in New Haven for a week and I really wanted to do a tour of Yale and came across this one. I just completed the full tour and I have to say it was incredible. The person who put this together did an excellent job on capturing the highlights of the university as well as the history. A great way to tour Yale

Pretty good overall - informative and fun. I would change some of the order of the stops, especially towards the end. I would also eliminate the vegan cafe and add more history.

This is my first time using self-guided tour on an APP. It's easy and user-friendly, although it took me while to discover different features.
