Our guide, Jessica, was great - really friendly and gave a very amusing tour full of great stories. It definitely made a difference getting a tour from a current student, and it was a great way to explore the area at just over an hour long.

I am a native who has never taken the "Hahvahd" or any other Harvard tours, and even though I picked a very chilly day, I am so glad I did. We had a nice little group of about 15 or 20, with people from near and far. Teresa, our tour guide was funny, informative and quite engaging despite the temperature, filling us up with facts and funnies as we learned the inside dope on Harvard and what it's like to go to school there. A few students said "Hi" and wished her a happy birthday during the tour, which made us feel a small part of things that day. So brava Teresa and Hahvahd Tours! You were a highlight of my recent staycation in Cambridge.…

As a local I learned a lot myself! A perfect activity for a day with visitors or just to learn more about your own town.…

Fun, entertaining and informative tour! Sean was great and knew a lot about Harvard’s history. I would recommend this tour vs a self guided tour.
