Cormac was our guide. He did a great job balancing just the right amount of information and Harvard history with wit. He kept the attention of myself, 9 and 12 year old boys and 2 teenage girls. Nicest hour we spent in Boston last weekend. Thank you Cormac!

Great to get the history of the place and hear the stories of the grounds and the buildings. I think it added something special to have a tour guide who attends the school as their school pride is infectious.
If you can get Cormac, he is great guide and very knowledgeable. Be prepared for more puns than can sink a...
