We really enjoyed this tour. It had something for all of our group - made up of Cambridge residents, out of town visitors and new MIT student. We all left feeling inspired by all the innovative things that have and are happening in the Kendall Square area in Cambridge . Our guide, Rick, was knowledgeable and entertaining ( and careful to stop in the shade!) - an excellent combination! We finished right in time for lunch, after our 90 minute tour. There are lots of good food options in this neighborhood. There is a beautiful urban roof garden next to the Marriott where this tour meets that was nice to check out too. We will be highly recommending this innovation trail tour to friends and family who visit Cambridge.

The Cambridge Innovation Tour was terrific. Learned about "Confectioner's Row", the past and present most prevalent industries in Cambridge and their world changing innovations ranging from everyday household items, to technology to life sciences. It was fascinating. Daniel and Sam were knowledgeable, personable and funny. Fun was had by our entire group! I definitely intend to take the Boston Innovation Tour. Whether you are a local or visiting, this tour is not to be missed. Next up? Boston Innovation tour!
