Harvard & MIT Private Campus Tour with an Academic Insider

Cross the Charles River to Cambridge for an exclusive private tour of Harvard Yard and the MIT campus, guided by a vetted academic with insider knowledge of these two world-defining institutions. Intellectual luxury at its finest.

What to expect

A car picks you up at the terminal and whisks you across the Longfellow Bridge to Cambridge. In Harvard Yard, you'll stand beneath the great elms where Washington drilled his Continental Army, explore the Memorial Church, and peer into the Widener Library's grand entrance hall — one of the largest private libraries on earth. Crossing to MIT, your guide decodes the genius of the 'Infinite Corridor,' the Stata Center's deconstructivist architecture, and the legendary hacks of MIT's student culture. A coffee stop at a favorite faculty haunt is typically included.

Harvard and MIT campuses are publicly accessible but private areas require a credentialed guide. Best booked at least 2 weeks in advance.
