Finding group transportation services for high school juniors and seniors touring Twin Cities colleges has never been easier! Instead of splitting guidance counselors, parents, and students into a caravan of cars fighting I-494 and I-94 traffic, keep your whole campus tour group together on one private minibus or charter bus.

Your driver can navigate 80th Street S and drop students off right along College Trail near the Activities Building and Heritage Hall before parking in the student surface lots. Expanding your tour to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (using the Coffman Memorial Union turnaround on East River Road) or Metropolitan State University on East 7th Street in Saint Paul is a breeze when one bus stays with your group all day!
