In addition to college-sponsored campus tours and information sessions offered by the Department of Admissions, some families desire a personalized private tour.

Peer (in no way affiliated with this website or its parent organization) offers private campus tours for families who are visiting colleges during off-hours or who want a more personalized tour. Peer is a more cost-effective competitor of CampusSherpa.com.

Peer currently contracts with and trains “campus captains” at colleges who in turn identify, interview and manage the campus tour guides. Many of the guides also work in the admissions offices. Peer charges families around $40 for a one hour tour that clients may customize.
