We had a tour with Sebastian. Such a lovely and knowledgeable folk. He answered all the questions happily and was patient with everyone. We had a great tour. As a whole, the team was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable: from booking, the tour, answering the questions and a lot more. My two children, my wife and I learned and loved it a lot.

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

Excellent tour. Reuben was an engaging tour guide. Loved seeing the insides of buildings and classrooms and hearing everything from a student perspective. My husband and I plan to retire in a few years, so we’re not college age at all, but at the end of the tour we thought - we should get a degree from MIT in retirement lol. Inspiring tour.
Very bad experience

Austin was awesome. Loved his insider views on campus locations. Unlike Harvard, MITs buildings are mostly open to explore. Loved seeing the interior spaces.
Must-do for nerds (and everyone else too)

Thanks to our tour guide Luke, this tour was an amazing experience and an absolute must-do for any nerd visiting Boston. While walking across the MIT campus, we were told not only about the rich history, but also "hacks," elaborate pranks executed by students, which made the tour far from boring.
Passioned knowledgeable guide
