Despite the heavy rain, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour led by Harvard student Natalie. She was excellent—both informative and engaging. We explored many key buildings, and she answered our questions with ease. The tour involved a lot of movement, allowing us to see plenty. I highly recommend this experience to truly appreciate the architecture and culture of the university. It was definitely one of our favorite activities in Boston.
The duration of this tour is significantly less than what was stated. Since it's mainly a walk around the yard, it would be easy to do this on your own with just a map.
Jake was an excellent tour guide. The tour was filled with valuable information and was enjoyable throughout. I would certainly recommend it to others.
This tour provides an in-depth exploration of the campus, and the guide is highly knowledgeable. He covered the buildings and shared the history of Harvard University, highlighting how many successful alumni have become U.S. presidents. It's remarkable information to learn.
Caleb, our guide, was very welcoming and patient with my numerous questions. He also shared suggestions for student-favorite dining spots.
Dominique provided an excellent tour. It was refreshing to hear a student's viewpoint on campus life. I highly recommend this tour; it was very enlightening. Thank you!
I had a great time on the walking tour. It offered good value, and the guide was very knowledgeable.
This tour was fantastic! Ana, our guide, shared a wealth of both historical and entertaining information. The campus was stunning, the duration was just right, and the price was fair. I highly recommend it!
The tour guide informed me that I wouldn't need ID to view the Gutenberg Bible at the library, but the security guard was unfriendly when I arrived without my school ID. The guide also mentioned we could attend certain classes without ID, which I doubt is accurate. He expressed his frustration about having to conclude the tour at the Harvard Shop, describing it as overly commercial. I don’t remember his name, but he was a tall blonde guy, a junior from Russia. Aside from these issues, he seemed like a decent person.
The tour was fantastic, filled with fascinating information about the university and its campus. With a small group of just eight people, everyone was friendly and involved (Our tour took place on Monday at 11am).
