May Sayasone - Our whole family of 4 went for a college tour for the first time in our lives, it’s my son’s dream college. I’m glad we did it with you/your company. It was very easy to meet up and walk through. We got all the information we needed to know, price is reasonable. I will definitely recommended to anyone who looking for a tour at MIT to use your company.

Not just for the future engineer! - Great tour with a recent graduate of MIT, Kenny, who admitted he could talk all day about MIT! Surprisingly, art and architecture is featured on this tour. Not just for tech bros. Recommend for all.

Hear it from those who live it - Great guides. Post grad student. Hearing it from people who live it, is the best way. Highly recommend this tour. Not only the history but you can ask about life as a student on campus.

Great tour guide! - Austin was a superb tour guide - very, very-well informed, articulate, great sense of humor (but doesn't make dumb jokes). The only issue is that there wasn't enough time. He kept telling us things we could do on our own like visit the West campus afterward, but I thought the tour should be 2 hrs. Loved it!

10/10 Amazing Tour - This MIT tour opened my eyes to possibilities I could potentially strive for. Although being mostly hopeless due to the low acceptance rate to get into MIT, it’s a beautiful, splendid, and comical place to start and endure the college journey. The guide was amazing and very informative of each location around campus. He definitely swayed me to at least try to get into MIT knowing the circumstances.

Culture of MIT - The student's guide added to the tour. Don't know if portable microphone might be helpful as couldn't always hear. Went a little longer than advertised but I didn't have to be anywhere else.

Stay away from Viator tours - Complete waste of money. Do not go through Viator as they are a company that work with scam operators.
