MIT tour with our high school / sophomore son - Our tour guide Austin (from Austin) was very knowledgeable, and friendly. He had in-depth knowledge about NEOs/exo-planets to semiconductors to sciences/nano-technology. The tour was just about right duration and distance. We recommend this tour especially to new families with aspiring kids.

Fast pace immersed in science - Guided tour of some of the main buildings on campus, with a super insider guide - an MIT researcher, who gave us all his enthusiasm and gave us interesting information and anecdotes in burst:) It wasn't easy to keep up with him, also because of the size of the campus, but it was absolutely worth it.
Most of the buildings are open to the public, so you can visit them independently, but it is advisable to take the tour first to get an overall idea.

Not recommended, bad choice - It's been a while and it's been in drafts. I'll complete it anyway. They left us basically lying around. We weren't the only ones. We were told on such a side at such an hour. We were sitting there 15 minutes earlier. Since they were not coming one stayed there and the other went for a walk on the way back. Other people did the same. We got through and they told us he was out. We had internet and we told him where you're going and we found you but they told us no.
Obviously the tour was never done and we were lied to.
