Just booked the Harvard & MIT tour with a harbor cruise—so excited!

I just got this day trip for my husband’s birthday! We’re both huge fans of history and can't wait to explore Harvard and MIT. Plus, the harbor cruise sounds perfect for relaxing after all the walking. Does anyone have tips on what to wear? I want to be comfy but still nice for pictures!

Just did the Boston tour—here's my experience!

Wow, this tour was amazing! The campuses were stunning and full of history. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the whole trip fun. The lobster lunch at Quincy Market was a highlight! Just a heads up—be ready for a bit of walking, but it’s totally worth it for the views. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a unique gift or day out!
