Schedule a private college tour for your student group

SchoolScoops connects future college students with current students for private campus tours and virtual college tours via video chat. This 1-on-1 approach offers you a personalized, authentic, and unbiased perspective on colleges. Our guides are here to give you the inside scoop to help you find the school that fits you best.

Private group college tours are customized campus tours designed specifically for high schools, college prep organizations, and educational travel companies. These tours let larger student groups (from ~5 up to 100+ students) explore campuses with vetted college student guides who offer authentic insights into campus life, academics, and student culture.

Traditional college tours are essentially a sales pitch—you’re just a number in a big group, and everyone gets the same scripted, cookie-cutter tour.

SchoolScoops tours and video chats are private, personalized and unscripted. You'll get the unfiltered inside scoop on the school. SchoolScoops guides don't work for their school so they're not trying to sell you on it. Instead, they offer genuine insights from their own experiences. Choose a guide with similar academic interests, hobbies, and personality traits. Get candid answers to the personal questions you wouldn't ask on a group tour. Your guide will tailor your tour based on your interests and answer your specific questions—whether it’s about dorm life, class sizes, or social dynamics. This personalized approach provides a more honest, insider perspective to help you decide if the school is truly the right fit for you.

Traditional tours cover the basics, but they can't show you everything you want to see. On a SchoolScoops tour your guide will show you the parts of campus that are important to you. Choosing where to go to college is a major decision and a big investment. Get the inside scoop and make a well-informed choice.

SchoolScoops private campus tours and video chats offer personalized insights tailored to your needs. Choose a student guide with similar interests and get candid answers to your questions. Unlike traditional tours, SchoolScoops guides don’t work for their school, so there’s no sales pitch—just genuine advice to help you find the school that fits you best.
