Harvard student led walking tour review

The guide Jonathan who is a Harvard student himself was great to listen to and had a good sense of humor. The trip did not take too long if your on a tight schedule it’s a quick way to see Harvard.

This is a must do to have a Harvard tour with a student.

This is a must do. What an iconic place with so much history. Really enjoyable with our student guide Soliday, who was so energetic and enthusiastic that we all wanted to be students and stay for classes. She was an absolute font of knowledge. Gorgeous campus. Well worth a visit.
