What is a Group Tour?
We define a Group Tour as 10 or more prospective students visiting campus to learn about Florida State University, the college experience, and campus life. Group Tour Experiences can vary depending on the size of the group and the date of the visit.
Request a Guided Group Tour
Submit the Group Tour Request Form at least two weeks before your preferred visit date. You will receive an email confirming receipt of your request.
Please note: Submitting a request does not confirm your tour. Requests are reviewed based on availability and approved on a first-come, first-served basis. We will contact you once your tour has been confirmed. Please allow 3-5 business days for processing.
Group Tour Resources & Guidelines
We're excited to welcome your group to Florida State University. Below are resources to help you plan your visit to campus and your time in Tallahassee.
Bus Parking on Campus
Buses are welcome on campus however roads are narrow and access to the center of campus will not be possible by bus. The best place for unloading, loading, and parking a bus on campus is the University Center surrounding Doak Campbell Stadium. From here, groups can walk to their destination on campus. FSU is very pedestrian friendly allowing groups to access most areas of campus on foot within a 15 to 25-minute walk.
For detailed information regarding bus parking on campus, please visit our Group Tour Directions & Parking Information page.

Group Expectations
