Overview of history, buildings and laboratories combined with funny stories while walking through the campus. Very entertaining and interesting.
Tour way overbooked

Our tour guide was great but this tour was way overbooked. Tours should not be this large—I think we had 40+ ppl. No one could hear anything, it was cumbersome to get around, and I felt we spent more time trying to navigate and figure out how to position ourselves to hear the guide vs actually taking in the tour. Please stop overbooking your tours. It’s not fair to the tour guides or to the visitors.
A useful experience to imagine what the experience at MIT is like.

Excellent 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

The 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!

The 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

Free 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 Maybe that was intentional, but the classes we visited were so outdated, they threw me back in 90s when I was teaching in university in one of eastern Europe countries.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

My 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

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.
