The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is in Cambridge, on the Charles River, and was founded in 1861. The campus sits beside Kendall Square, one of the region's main technology and life-sciences districts, so many visits combine the campus with the surrounding innovation scene.

Visitlandia does not teach, sell or represent MIT programs. We manage the travel side for groups that come to Boston to visit MIT or take part in a course there: hotel, transfers, meals, city tours and local organization, with one contact for the whole stay.

How we support groups

What we manage for your group

MIT

Alumni Group Travel

Travel and event logistics for alumni groups visiting Cambridge: hotels, transfers, group dining and Kendall Square evenings. Alumni events are organized by the relevant alumni association or department, not by Visitlandia.

Best for: Alumni clubs, reunion committees
MIT

Executive Education Travel Support

For participants who travel to Cambridge for a course, we manage lodging, transportation, meals and local organization. Enrollment, admission and certificates are handled by the institution that offers the program.

Best for: Corporate learning teams, sponsoring companies
MIT

Prospective Student Visits

MIT Admissions accepts group-visit requests for student groups, which MIT confirms. We plan the trip around that visit, and add an independent walk of publicly accessible areas for adults. The independent walk is not an MIT admissions tour.

Best for: Student groups, counselors, agencies
MIT

Academic Study Trip

Study trips with a science, technology or design focus, including museums, public art and Kendall Square. Academic content, speakers and department or lab visits are requested separately and depend on the host institution's approval. Access is not guaranteed.

MIT

Corporate Innovation Visit

Delegation travel to Cambridge and Kendall Square. Visits to companies, labs or institutions are requested separately and depend on the host's approval. We cannot promise a specific meeting.

We can request one on your behalf. Hosts decide whether to receive a group, so we cannot promise access or a specific meeting.

No. Visits, museum bookings and any institutional meeting are set by the host and subject to eligibility, availability and approval. We request what is possible and tell you the outcome.

What does it cost?

Inquire. Pricing depends on dates, group size and what we arrange.
