Reservations

All groups of 9 or more must make a reservation in advance. As a rule, we give first priority to academic groups—domestic or international—that are sponsored by the school or institution itself. We also prioritize by dates the requests are sent in.

To request a group tour, please email us at grouptours@stanford.edu with the following information:
Your name and contact information (email, office phone and cell phone number)

  • Name and description of your group
  • Your company name ( if different from name of group)
  • Total size of group (students and chaperones)
  • Nature of visit
  • Group contact number
  • Preferred dates (from the current availability above)

We no longer accept new reservations by phone. If you are coming to campus with a group of 8 or fewer, you may join one of our Campus Walking Tours—no reservation is required.

Additional Information: All tours are conducted in English, and visiting groups with non-English speaking participants must provide their own interpreter(s).
