The tour starts on the MIT campus, where you will follow your guide to learn about the school's history, famous pranks, inventions, and much more! Your tour guide will show you buildings designed by world-famous architects, dormitories home to hilarious MIT "hacks", and stunning views of Boston from across the river!
After MIT, your tour guide will take you to Harvard using the subway system. Your subway fare is included in the cost of the tour.
Learn the history of Harvard University, the oldest college in the country. See the "Statue of the Three Lies", deceiving visitors for almost 150 years. Learn about Harvard's academic legacy, as well as some rather whimsical traditions practiced by the students! See the house where George Washington stayed during his visit to Boston during the American Revolution and Harvard's part in the war. The tour will show you the academic, residential, and hidden parts of one of the world's most prestigious universities!

Weekend vs Weekday Tours - the tour goes inside some MIT buildings on weekdays only! The MIT campus buildings are closed on weekends and major holidays. On the days that we do not go inside MIT, the tour price is $5 less. Harvard does not allow any public tours inside any buildings.
Parking is very difficult to find near the tour starting point. We strongly advise against driving and recommend taking public transit or taxi/Uber. The closest garage next to the tour start point is the Green Garage at Kendall and costs $38 for 3+ hours. Very limited metered street parking is available around the starting area of the tour, we advise arriving at least 30 minutes ahead of the tour start time to look for metered parking.
Public transport is the easiest way to get to the tour start point. Take the MBTA (subway) to the Kendall/MIT station on the Red Line, the tour start point is next to the main entrance to the subway station.
Tour starts exactly on time. If you are running late, you can catch up with the tour group by following the tour stops listed on the itinerary. First tour stop is MIT Media Lab, second stop is the Green Building, and so on. Your tour guide will not be able to answer any phone calls to direct you after the tour starts.
This tour focuses on history, architecture, and stories about the two universities. If you are looking for a tour for perspective future students, please contact the admissions department of the university.
ATTENTION: Harvard Yard will be closed May 26–June 7 for commencement events. Tours will follow an alternate Harvard route (no Yard access) and include the Harvard Law School area instead. Guests during this period receive a 15% discount (applied day-of). The MIT portion of the tour is unaffected.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
See the MIT Media Lab, home to some of the most innovative cross-discipline creations stemming from MIT.

The guide was nice but to long stops in places of little interest and did not stop in those that did. It took us very quickly without considering that there was an adult couple who had a little difficulty. And worst of all is the extremely low tone of voice, we would get around her the 12 and not even by those. He was talking inside

I wanted to share my appreciation for the awesome walking tour of Harvard and MIT. The experience was truly memorable! Harvard Highlights: Walking through Harvard Yard and seeing iconic spots like the John Harvard Statue and Widener Library gave me a real sense of history and tradition. MIT Experience: On the Charles River to explore MIT’s campus was equally inspiring. The bold architecture and the innovative vibe made the tour feel like a journey into the future. The stories, insights, and energy throughout the tour were fantastic. It was a perfect blend of history, innovation, and campus life. Thank you for making it engaging and informative—I left feeling inspired and energized!
