Traveler reviews
Highly recommend!
Visit about 90 minutes. Tour guide was great and it was enjoyable despite it raining the whole time. Easy to find. Really enjoyed the student insights plus the history
Great Walking Tour of Harvard’s Grounds
The tour is of the grounds only, and not in any of the buildings. Dress for the weather and come with questions for the guide.
Nice Campus Tour
My wife and I had an enjoyable tour of the Harvard campus. Our tour guide was a Harvard senior student who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Wonderful Harvard experience
The guide was excellent and the tour was great.
Good overview of Harvard and some good storiesO
Our friendly guide Reid showed us around the outside of Harvard Yard, the library, and several academic and residential buildings. He had some great stories about the history of Harvard and some of its famous people. Note that you don't go inside any buildings. Finding the tour was easy, and everything was well-organized.
