Better Campus Tours
Inspire More Applicants
Campus Pro Tours is the first and only solution for in-person tours that uses everyone’s mobile phones to help Admissions staff learn what prospective students and visitors care about most on campus.
By making every tour more accessible, more engaging, and more memorable, colleges and universities convert more visitors to applicants.
A Great Experience for Prospective Students
Live Tour Transcript
A live transcript of their guide's narration on each visitor's phone ensures accessibility for visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing and makes sure tour guests don't miss a thing. Visitors can receive the full transcript after the tour.
Learn What they Love
Prospective students, their families, and other visitors can make note of what they love during the tour using the "like" button. When they receive the transcript, they can easily see and remember what they loved.
Instant Connection
Visitors can instantly get their guide's attention during the tour to ask questions, send comments during the tour. Because most guests don't remember what they hear, visitors also see their guide's name, major, and hometown.
Lasting Memories
Visitors can access their phone's camera directly from the Campus Pro Tours UI so that they remember more of the experience and can view the photos they took of the campus while on their tour.

How It Works
The tour guide logs in on their mobile device, opens a new tour session, and shares the unique tour QR code with the prospective students and visitors on the tour.
After scanning the code on their mobile device to join the tour, participants provide their name, email (optional), and share how the college ranks in their choices.
As the tour begins, the guide’s phone converts their narration to text and participants are able to see the live, scrollable transcription on their devices.
During the tour, visitors tap to “like” things they hear, raise their hand to get the guide’s attention, send questions to the guide, or access their camera to capture a memory.
When the tour ends, visitors rate the tour, update their ranking, share feedback for the admissions office, and confirm their email to receive a link to the tour transcript.
Admissions staff have access to a tour database with all transcripts, questions, feedback, and annotations in order to improve tours and follow-up with prospective students.
