We went on this tour with low expectations and our tour guide did a fantastic job explaining and pointing out history in the making. He was able to answer questions easily. We had a small group of 7 persons. I would recommend this tour of interested in current events!

The Innovation tour was informative. Julia, our tour guide, was enjoyable to listen to and she was enthusiastic about sharing interesting points. I liked how inspirational the robotics innovation story was when Julia told the history behind Hugh Herr. Another lasting memory was walking through the Danny Lewin Memorial courtyard. May God bless his family.

Very informative. Our tour was on a Sunday, unfortunately some of the lobby exhibitions were closed. Nonetheless an interesting tour.

We're so glad you enjoyed your tour of the Innovation Trail, but are so bummed that you missed out on some of the publicly accessible lobbies, they are super cool!
