My 13 year old really wanted to take this tour and I am really glad we decided to do it! The students run this tour and you start right in Harvard Square. They ask for a donation of $10 per person or $20 per family and it is definitely worth it. Our guide was VERY energetic and fun and the... More

I took this tour by accident, and loved it. The guide (Art) was so energetic, enthusiastic and outgoing. He was very approachable and encouraged questions. The tour itself was very informative and also with their own experiences being student at this University. It is really a worth experience and I would recommend it. It cost $10 individual and $20 for... More

I visited Harvard on Saturday with a friend. The tour guide is easy to locate once you exit the Harvard square metro stop off the Red line. Blake, the tour manager, is super nice and friendly. Our tour guide Bethany is really enthusiastic. I do think it would be helpful though for guides to wear a microphone so they do... More

tour guide was energetic and informative,but the group was too large. I would suggest limiting it to 20 people max. easy to find them right outside the exit from the Harvard subway stop on the T. we paid $20 for our family of four - was totally worth it and I would recommend it. Lasted about 50 minutes. perfect amoutn... More

This tour was recommended by some friends so we tried it. Our guide, Shera, was great. She was very outgoing and energetic, leading the group around Harvard grounds. At each of the stops she had some interesting tidbit to go along with the "script." Between stops she was approachable and encouraged questions and comments from the group. At the end,... More

We had just gotten off the subway when we saw a group of people congregating and discovered it was a walking tour of Harvard. Emily was our tour guide and she did a FANTASTIC job of enlightening us to the historical facts and stories of the college and area! She was sweet and informative; our entire family from our 13...

I took my teens there on a recent trip to Boston. The tour is free, but they do ask for a donation. I was happy to make a donation after the tour. Our guide, a student, was excellent. She had all kinds of information about Harvard that we never would have figured out on our own and she was funny... More

I read so many great reviews for this tour and overall it was okay but I was a bit disappointed. First, we had quite a large tour group - we did the last tour on a Saturday. There was probably about 20 people in our group. We were not able to follow the tour route as it was supposed to... More

I had read about this in the NY Times just before heading for Boston so it was easy to add to our itinerary. You can sign up online (for free). then you show up at the info kiosk near the newstand at the appointed time. A student gives you a walking tour with fun facts- maybe some arent' even facts.... More
