More information on University of Texas Tower

The best way to learn about the University of Texas at Austin campus is through one of their wonderfully informative tours. Student guides lead walking tours and discuss a wide range of issues including academic programs, student services, community life and the history of the university. University of Texas Campus Tours start at the Information Desk on the ground floor of the Main Building (also known as the UT Tower). Wear comfortable shoes-the campus is much larger than the original 40 acres designated to hold these facilities. The tours last about one to one and a half hours. For larger groups, make reservations at least two weeks in advance by calling +1 512 475 7399. Note: During the months of May and December, only one tour is offered at 2pm each day, Monday through Saturday. No tours on official University holidays.
