Walking Tour of Cambridge, including MIT and Harvard

Overview

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.

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.

Guide was so knowledgeable and had the best stories of the area. Before the tour, the company was willing to change the tour to our needs. It was excellent and we will definitely be looking for viator tours wherever we go from now on.
