A Nice Intro to Harvard

We really enjoyed The Hahvahd Tour! It was the perfect length--long enough to feel like we got a great introduction to Harvard and its history, but never felt drawn out or overwhelming. We learned so much about the university, its traditions, history, and campus, and our guide kept the tour interesting and engaging throughout. Visiting Harvard was something we definitely wanted to do while in the Boston area, and we're so glad we chose to experience it through this tour rather than simply walking around the campus on our own. Having the stories and history behind the places we were seeing made the visit so much more meaningful. Informative, entertaining, well-paced, and absolutely worth doing. We left feeling like we had really experienced Harvard rather than just visited it. Highly recommend

Great tour by Caleb!

We thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour of the Harvard campus with third year student, Caleb. He was absolutely personable and knowledgeable. His occasional anecdotes were both amusing and informative. We enjoyed this experience.
