Wonderful insight into MIT!

Diego was a wonderful guide! Very knowledgeable, very friendly, and made it genuinely a very pleasant experience despite the pretty gross weather. If I had to get a little nit picky I would have loved if the tour took us through some of the buildings rather than just outside of them but overall great tour! Thanks Diego!

Great tour over MIT campus with respect to the hot & sunny weather

We had a great tour with our guide Lily, who dedicated a lot of time and dedication to guide us. Although it was a very sunny and hot day, she used the spots in the shadows to talk about MIT and was very respectful to the group. Although she is a Harvard-student, she is very knowledgable about MIT and its student life. I can highly recommend her and the tour that she gave. She can also give you great recommendations for other spots to visit!

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.

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!
