Take a Campus Tour in an Austin Charter Bus
With school back in session, many juniors and seniors are looking to go on college tours. One great way to tour colleges with a group is to book an Austin charter bus! That way, you and your group can all leave and arrive at the same time, have tailored transportation to check out popular spots near campus to get a sense of student culture, and enjoy onboard amenities like WiFi and reclining seats.
If you need a charter bus in Austin to tour any of the city’s universities, please don’t hesitate to call us at (737) 301-0809. We have years of experience helping groups book transportation for college tours and can set you up with a free, no-obligation price quote in minutes for a bus rental in Austin.
University of Texas at Austin
If you want to visit the University of Texas at Austin, it’s recommended you go online and book a campus walking tour. The tours are around 90 minutes each, and are exclusively for high school juniors or seniors. Tours start at scheduled times that are typically 9 AM, 11 AM, and 2 PM. We recommend going during the school year to get a better sense of the culture and student life. You can also book an in-person information session with your group to learn more about a specific college, like the School of Architecture or Cockrell School of Engineering.
Charter bus tip: Your charter bus can drop your group off at the Admissions Welcome Center at Perry-Castañeda Library for your tour.
Huston-Tillotson University
Groups interested in touring the historically black Huston-Tillotson University can schedule a tour time during one of their tour periods—they have three tour periods throughout the year during fall, spring, and summer. Tours require a reservation that require five to seven working days to process and are approximately an hour each. During the tour, you get to visit the Center for Academic Excellence, the Davage-Durden Student Union, and several other historic buildings on campus.
The campus does not allow self-guided tours, and attendees that are more than 15 minutes late will have their tour cancelled. That won’t be a problem if you book a charter bus with us, though!
Drivers are committed to being on time and aim to arrive at each stop on your itinerary at least 15 minutes early. We also vet our providers carefully and don’t partner with any companies that have excessive late departures.
Charter bus tip: Your charter bus will drop you off at the east entrance through campus at 810 Chalmers street for your tour. You’ll then be directed to the Agard-Lovinggood Building where your tour will start.
St. Edward’s University
With an average class size of 19, St. Edward’s University is a more niche college for those looking to study liberal arts. They offer plenty of options to tour the campus, from information sessions for transfer students that are typically held on Tuesdays to walking tours in the summer and fall for prospective students. You can check their website to see available dates and choose a time that works for your schedule.
Campus walking tours typically meet at the main building welcome center at 100A on the first floor, so your charter bus driver can drop you off there and pick you up after your walking tour to explore nearby restaurants and other popular off-campus spots.
Charter bus tip: You may think you have to book an Austin charter bus for your college tour months in advance, but that’s not the case. While advanced notice is always best, we can more than likely find you a charter bus only a week or less in advance. This is because we partner with dozens of reputable charter bus companies in order to guarantee availability.
Concordia University Texas
Concordia University offers many liberal arts classes based in Christian theology, so if you are looking for church youth group transportation for a tour, we can help you out! The Tornado Nation’s 250-acre campus has places on their website where you can schedule a tour, including group registration.
Group tours are available Monday through Friday at 10:30 AM and 1 PM and are unavailable on a few holidays such as Good Friday, Memorial Day, and Juneteenth. Be sure to check in advance to ensure they have availability during your desired tour date—you can see up to six months in advance on their website.
Charter bus tip: If you have any students in your group that have special mobility needs, be sure to let us know if you have specific accommodation requests. We are proud to offer ADA-accessible charter bus rentals at no extra cost. Every student deserves to feel included and comfortable during your Austin colleges group tour.
