We Can't...

  • We cannot go inside MIT classrooms or dormitories, as they are functional classrooms and dormitories!
  • Unfortunately, we cannot include any “insider” tours of the tech and biotech labs at MIT. The companies and laboratories on MIT’s campus are active, working, and often sanitized laboratories which would have difficulty functioning if they allowed tour companies inside. If you are able to arrange something directly through one of the labs, we would be delighted to accompany you to and from the location within the timeframe of the tour, or as needed.
  • This tour is a walking tour, and not recommended as a path for a Step-On Tour

If your group has a bus and would like a guide to accompany you, we offer half-day or full-day packages. Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange vehicles
We also offer “Step-On” Tours. This is when our guides hop onto your bus, or into your car, and narrate the ride. We do not own or operate any vehicles, and are a guide service company only, but our guides are the best in the business, and will make your journey special. Our preferred partners for booking vehicles are LTI and Yankee Bus Company, and we are happy to provide contacts if you reach out to us directly. Otherwise, we are happy to hop into the vehicle you’ve already rented or the bus you’ve already booked!
