Harvard and MIT - Private Walking Tour

 

Cobblestoned pathways hemmed by charming colour-washed houses, red-brick walls, and bloom-filled terraces make Cambridge one of the most genial spots to spend a day. To really let the sounds, flavours, and history of the town become part of your own travel story, enjoy a private walking tour of the town that is home to two of the world’s most notable universities. On your private, guided tour of Cambridge:

Highlights:

-Begin your privately guided tour at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and learn about its many notable alumni, scientific breakthroughs, and contributions to the arts.
-Visit the MIT Public Art Collection and see works by notable artists, including Picasso and Gehry. -Travel like a local with your private guide over to Harvard.
-Enjoy an easy walking tour of one of America’s most famous campuses, whose notable alumni include 8 US presidents, and whose notable dropouts include Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.
-Grab a drink - a coffee or beer - in your local guide’s favourite watering hole. Spend a few hours walking around the town’s two universities, and strolling the Charles River with a private guide. The city is bursting at the seams with beautiful buildings steeped in history, from war monuments, battlefields, and universities with more than 135 Nobel laureates split between the city’s two schools. Today Cambridge is a byword for forward-thinking, liberalist, arts, intellectuals, literature, academics, innovation and entrepreneurs.

Wander the hidden side streets, check out the offbeat street art not associated with the town, and hear the neighbourhood gossip which brings Cambridge to life. Your tour of Harvard and MIT is immersive - bringing meaningful and like-minded interesting people together that would never meet if you stuck to the main tourist drag.

Don’t worry if you don’t consider yourself an intellectual or history buff, Cambridge has plenty to offer foodies and beer-elitists. Hear about the city’s culinary scene over a craft brew or a light-roast coffee with your local guide before parting ways.

Please note: Due to Covid 19, some campus areas such as Harvard Yard may be closed to visitors. If an area is closed on the day of your tour, your guide will extend the visit in other areas of interest.
