Cambridge Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Was a great day trip to Salem, tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and very responsive to questions and giving recommendations. My only wish was to have more free time to explore in Salem!

Jake was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting.

This was such a fun tour! As advertised, these tours are led by students and each adds their own unique flavor. Ours shared school customs, common mythologies, as well as debunking some urban legends. He was so gracious about guiding people to other places they wanted to go, including recommendations of where to eat. We walked away with much more knowledge than when we began.

Energetic guide and learnt a lot from Jodie

Jodie was a great guide with infectious enthusiasm for everything we saw

Took a walking tour of MIT and Harvard in May, had a great time. Guide was extremely friendly, knowledgable. Would highly recommend tour to anyone.

We got a very informative tour with our guide, Shaykh (sp?). It was so interesting to learn about MITs history and understand the culture. Shaykh gave us a great view of what being a student at MIT is like which is why we selected this student-lead tour. This is definitely worth doing!

Peter was great & knowledgeable.

This was a really cool tour. The guide had everything well planned so it was easy to just go along. We learned a lot about Salem.

Excellent! Provides amazing views of Boston and Cambridge. Highly recommend.

We took the 9:30 am architectural tour today, Saturday, September 12 and it was fantastic. My daughters purchased the tickets for my husband's birthday so I can't speak to the price, but we all enjoyed seeing the city from a different perspective.....the water. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the buildings that he highlighted. He spoke about the type of architecture, the architect who designed it and shared interesting tidbits about each. It didn't hurt that the weather was absolutely beautiful so we were very comfortable as well. We have lived near Boston all of our lives, and have taken several different harbor cruises, but this was by far, the best.

We had fun- Bob was funny, polite, and knowledgeable

We loved Bob! Very friendly and knowledgeable

Fantastic tour. Tour guide Jenny was fantastic!

Excellent. Jenny was very informative and friendly.

We think the Charles River is one of the prettiest parts of Boston so it was nice to be on the river and get a view of both sides of the river while the guide told fun stories and facts.
