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!

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!

Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the tour? I want to take my kids!

A: There isn't a strict minimum age, but I’d say it’s best for kids 10 and up. Younger kids might get bored with the history bits. Just make sure they can handle walking and the subway ride since it's a bit of a trek!

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Casual or is there a dress code?

A: Casual is totally fine! Just wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking a lot. The weather can change, so maybe bring a light jacket. It's Boston, after all!

Q: What if it rains on the day of our tour? Do they reschedule?

A: If there's heavy rain, they usually reschedule. But light rain is fine since most of it is outdoors. Just check in with them the day before to see what the plan is!

Just booked the MIT and Harvard tour for my bf's birthday!

I'm super excited! We both love history and exploring new places. The fact that the subway fare is included is awesome, so we don’t have to worry about that. Has anyone done this tour recently? Any tips on what to expect?

Considering this tour as a graduation gift!

My cousin is graduating high school soon, and I think this could be a really unique experience for him. He’s considering colleges, and what better way to check out MIT and Harvard? Has anyone had a similar experience? How long does the tour usually take?
