We had a great experience with Nicolas! He took the time to show us around the university and explained many interesting things about the campus and student life. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour really enjoyable. Thanks to him, we got a much better impression of the university. Highly recommended!
Rory was such an amazing tour guide! We loved the school and also loved our time with her. This was the best way to experience UMich!
Highly recommend Amelia. She was knowledgeable, provided insights into both academic and social aspects of life at Indiana University, and was very friendly. Thanks Amelia!
Riley was absolutely fantastic! She clearly knows her way around both the campus and Auburn's traditions. She was incredibly knowledgeable and answered every question with enthusiasm and depth. On top of that, she was so kind and genuine. Just by chatting with her I can tell that she truly loves her school. Her passion for Auburn made the tour even more enjoyable and really solidified my interest in becoming part of the Auburn family.
Jocelyn was a great guide and representative of Duke. She shared all the insights of campus life, and we were truly impressed with her knowledge and hospitality. We highly recommend Jocelyn for any tours at Duke.
Yota was very good to relating to our high schooler. He asked good questions about their interests and then matched the strengths of UCSD to his answers. Very thoughtful tour guide. Highly recommend.

What are private group college tours?
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.
How are SchoolScoops tours different than traditional college tours?
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.
