Great tour! We happened to go on a holiday so there weren’t students in facilities but our guide took us inside some buildings to show what they are like. Great campus and scenery.

Kenny is knowledgeable and I love how he told us a little bit of everything that's going on at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

What a fascinating informative and welcoming tour of MIT for me and my family. Gracie definitely personified her name by giving a historical and personal (as a sophomore) experience filled with amusing and interesting anecdotes. We will never forget the Smoot!
We liked Gracie’s tour so much we immediately scheduled one for Harvard the next day. A+++ for organizing a fun and informative agenda and having such enthusiastic funny and warm guides like Gracie!!!

Excellent tour guide, loved all the stories. Really enjoyed the experience, would have appreciated a stop to get water however as many of us were hot from the walking.

Touring MIT with a student guide is a great experience, not only in terms of seeing the buildings, but also learning some insider knowledge and seeing through the campus via their students’ views.
Miguel was our guide, he was passionate and told us a lot of fun things happened around the campus.

Great moments and great guide
The tour is interesting we could see most of MIT,
My recommandation is to include other institut like computing science or architecture .

Enjoyed it—Matt did a very good job, group was larger than expected though. Removed the mystique of the institution & its students.
