Annie is the best! - It was well worth the cost, which was very reasonable. We saw a great deal of the campus, and learned much more than we would have just by walking around ourselves. Annie was our tour guide, and she explained things very thoroughly - it was as if she knew everything about the university. Rave, rave!

Bad experience because of the guide - Our guide Emily only talked about herself and was very self centered and wasted much of the time in walking at unnecessary places… Never recommend, better explore yourself.
