5.00Excellent tour of MIT. The guide, Sebastian, talked all the way through the visit and was available for questions. The anecdotes helped imagine a little more about college life at MIT. Very good!
Dynamic and interesting

5.00The guide had been at MIT for a long time and you could tell he identified with the place a lot. He told us very interesting things and, above all, he allowed us to enter many buildings (in Harvard you can not enter any), and he told us why (besides, the week we did the tour was very cold, so to enter was also a plus for that). Many laboratories are glazed, so you get to see them from the outside (inside the building, outside the laboratory).
Awesome tour!

5.00The tour was even better than I’ve imagined it’d be. We get to actually enter the MIT building and see its labs and classrooms. The guide, Austin, was great and gave us so many interesting infos. I recommend it 100%.
Overall a nice tour

4.00Free education, under certain conditions of course, is amazing for smart kids who do not have the financial means! Kudos for that! Maybe that was intentional, but the classes we visited were so outdated, they threw me back in 90s when I was teaching in university in one of eastern Europe countries. What shocked me was the guide's feedback on AI being useless, given all the AI courses advertised by MIT, kind of making you wonder if teaching is easier than implementing? Overall a nice experience.
A must see

5.00My youngest son is 12 and all he had talked about was going to MIT when he graduates. We took a trip from Alabama and decided to make this one of our stops. Our guide was awesome. He was very thorough and answered questions eagerly to those who asked. He gave my son a little more to strive for.
Excellent

4.00The MIT Tour was informative and enjoyable. Unfortunately sometimes hard to hear the guide. Mostly tour of outside buildings with limited access inside. Great overview.
