I am too old to be interested in visiting colleges, and too young to have children of college age, so I personally would not be interested in such a tour.
At my alma mater, a group of former students created their own tour: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahvahd_tour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahvahd_tour As far as I know, their business model is different that yours in that their focus is on history and tourists, as opposed to campus life and prospective students.
I also think that you are considering charging too little for what is essentially a private tour by an experienced guide. The Hahvahd people seem to charge about $10/person for their public tours, but I remember seeing groups of 50+ tourists being led by a single guide.
- keiferski 15y agoThanks for the link, I did not know of them. Unfortunately, we don't get many tourists around here (not that I'm surprised...heh.) You are probably right on the cost, though. I didn't want to make my post any longer, but I've also considered having 2 types of tours: a group (up to 10 people) standardized tour with a pre-planned route, for $10 a person, or a private, customized tour for $25-$30 per person. That would work out to: $50 for a 5 person public tour $75-90 for a 3 person private tour Which is a bit more reasonable.
