AMAZING. Must do for MIT fans and even those who are brought along by the fans (like me) - Fantastic tour. A must go for any MIT fans and would recommend even for those who like me have little initial interest (my fiancé wanted to do this). Because of the tour we also were able to visit buildings that were otherwise locked on the weekend. I left feeling very inspired, in awe and wonder. It was also highly entertaining and educational! Loved as well the highlights of women scientists, the bits about the MIT hacks, and discussions about what the pedagogy is like. Vic the tour guide gave us very clear instructions on where to first meet up and clearly planned, refined and thought through a lot of great areas to highlight during the tour. I especially liked how she spoke off script and would answer every question we would throw at her. I appreciated what MIT does differently from other institutions of higher education. Plus she made it fun. Lots of jokes, interesting culture tidbits and kindness, while generally also keeping us on schedule. Would highly recommend the tour to anyone.

Average - Uninspiring, and non-engaging guide. Lacked pride and salesmanship. No maps were provided as indicated on the tour description.

Poor customer service - I reached out to the contact on my ticket to let them know I was running a little late for the 1:30 pm tour and they informed me that I could wait for the 2pm tour which turned out to be non-existent. I tried reached out at 2 pm when I was at the meeting spot and got an automated message instead.
