Traveler reviews
Fun and interesting experience
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Austin, was informative, enthusiastic, and full of stories and information. We walked through and around a variety of campus buildings, including some of the classrooms, labs, and creative spaces. It's a big campus, but we saw a lot in the approximately 90 minute tour. The tour was easy to find, and Austin was great.
It is a fantastic...
It is a fantastic experience to visit MIT and we luckily had a very amazing tour guide. Highly recommended if one visits Boston Area.
What's hacking😉
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!
