Great experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and spoke loud enough for all to hear. Really a quick must-do if in Boston!
It was an informative tour of the campus by a young Harvard student. He provided excellent commentary with a good personality.
We loved this tour of Harvard! We really enjoyed learning all of Harvards “secrets” from a student that is living it.
I would highly recommend the tour. Extremely informative and our tour guide Emily was beyond lovely! Amazing all round and learnt so many new facts!
The tour was really interesting. Ultimately nothing you couldn't do by yourself for free however our tour guide made all the difference. Hearing her insights and experiences was amazing! Her (I think her name was Cassandra?) public speaking skills and charisma were incredible and the tour was overall a really great experience.
A fast way to get a lot of information on Harvard. Jonathan was great and projected well so he could be heard. He also answered all questions thrown his way. Some jokes weee cheesy but that is to be expected even at Harvard.
Fantastic guide with great knowledge
What a brilliant tour! It’s conducted by students so they have the full knowledge of what goes on there… student antics, history of the University and more. It’s a must do tour. BTW… You will hear about the naked Primal Scream tradition! Harvard was a Brit 😀
Amazing guide and super cool experience! Would recommend if in Boston.
It was a very interesting tour and our guide Jonathan was really great.
