Nice tour of MIT with lots of insider stories mixed in by student tour guide. - Excellent tour of MIT. Lots of fun background info included. Our guide, Luke, was fantastic. Sometimes these tours can feel so long but this one was just the right length.

An interesting and perfect tour to know the MIT from inside - A fantastic experience, I also went with my 18-year-old son who was a data subject at MIT and he was thrilled. The guide was a Third Party MIT student, very good at telling the university in a concise, relevant and entertaining way with many anecdotes. We did 2/3 of the outside lap and then we also went in and saw some of the inside including a classroom we sat in. What more could you ask for? Absolutely recommended!!!
