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.

Tour was largely about student activities and experiences. Enjoyed hearing about MIT contributions to science and humanity. Tour guide included personal anecdotes as well

Austin was awesome. Loved his insider views on campus locations. Unlike Harvard, MITs buildings are mostly open to explore. Loved seeing the interior spaces.

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.

Austin was extremely knowledgeable about MIT and he did a wonderful job. He took us to so many cool places and shared so much history; it was the highlight of our trip to Boston. Would recommend to anyone!
