Harvard University Campus Guided Walking Tour

We took the one hour tour on Nov 3rd and are extremely satisfied with the entire experience....booking and instructions were simple, everything went to schedule, we got to see a real variety of sites on campus and our tour guide NATALIE was very well informed and user-friendly! All-in-all great value

Nice to see the school up close and hear all of the stories of those who attended and founded. Nathan was awesome, super friendly and knowledgeable.

If this is your first visit to Harvard, start with this tour. Our guide Jonathan was informative and professional. A nice little overview of Harvard life and history and a good way to get your bearings.

We had a small group of just 3 of us with our tour guide and it was fantastic, we had a great wander around the campus and the guide was very knowledgeable on all matters and we got a good experience of what campus life is like.

What a great tour of Harvard with our young guide Karl. My daughter and I decided to take a tour and we didn’t really have much expectations but we were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it. Would highly recommend this.

Fun experience with lots of information, history and behind the scenes highlights about the history, culture, educational style and student experiences. Short tour - easy walking and relaxed pace. Very enjoyable. Natalie was great!!

Our tour guide, Jake, was fantastic! We had a fantastic time, and he answered all kinds of questions that our group had. We really enjoyed learning so much about the history of Harvard from a student in the middle of it all! Highly recommend!

Found it difficult to find meeting place. Perhaps you could say it’s in front of a shop. Tour was informative , shorter than advertised.

It was very informative and really brought some colour to the campus walkthrough! Full of history and fun facts about the modern day campus!

Super nice tour, our guide was Dimitri and he was a really funny guy. He made the whole tour both interesting and fun. I recommend this tour to anyone who’s visiting Harvard, and it’s great that it’s led by Harvard students and that the money goes to Harvard student financial aid!

This was the most unorganized crap show of a booking! We were told to find the “kids in the straw hats” once we found them, there were two boys (Jonathon & ?) who gave us no guidance on whether or not we were in the right place; just kept going. I would never recommend.

Great tour with Noah. Very knowledgeable. Took us inside freshman dining hall and Memorial Church. Easy check in.

My visit was led by a what felt like a relatively inexpensive student . Delivery was bland and seemed to be off a script at times .

The meeting location wasn’t clearly communicated in the confirmation email. And when we got to the square there was no clear spot to meet. When we finally found the sign, a few minutes after the scheduled time, there was no one.

Clyde was very knowledgeable and kept our attention the entire time. Would recommend this tour to anyone 10/10.

Great tour, loved having a student tell us about Harvard history and anecdotes. We really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend!

A brief overview of life at Harvard with several amusing anecdotes from Emma, who conducted the tour. Lots of questions were answered well and fully. An interesting tour

I rated 4 stars instead of 5 only because we saw all buildings from the outside. I believe going inside library or Memorial Hall would add value. Overall, the tour was historically and culturally interesting. And the length was just right. Our student tour guide was excellent. I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour! Clyde was so knowledgeable and engaging! Highly recommend!

Soli did a wonderful job! We had a great time learning about Harvard from a current student. I love that the tours (and the Harvard Shop) support the students.

It was a spectacular day at Harvard. It was a “chamber of commerce” day. Soli, our tour guide, was fun, clear and knowledgeable. The pace was great and the inside detail was fun. The campus and its history were so impressive. As a constructive criticism, don’t use tech-bro billionaires as representative alumni (mentioned more than once). There are so many other exceptional alumni you could mention. I would’ve relished one Obama or Ketanji Brown Jackson over multiple Zuckerberg mentions.

Dante was amazing! Thank you so much!

It was very interesting! Our tour guide was very informative and funny at times. We all enjoyed the tour

I took the tour with my daughter and our guide Brad was very interesting and kept the large group entertained and together. It didn’t feel rushed but the pace didn’t lag unnecessarily either - perfectly timed.

Great tour of the campus and our guide was very nice. Not too much walking either so good for all ages.

The student guide (Miriam) was entertaining and very knowledgeable. Lots of interesting facts and stories about Harvard. Would highly recommend the tour.

CAMERON...wow! Amazing guide! What an incredible, knowledgeable young man! There wasn't a single detail he didn't know, or question he couldn't answer! Super friendly and informative. Lasted just the right length of time. Really enjoyed the tour and finding out so much about Harvard.

This tour company is fantastic because the whole business is run and operated by Harvard students. This added so much depth to the tour as not only did we get to walk the beautiful grounds and understand the history, but we also got the opportunity to find out what’s it’s like to live and study at the college. Cameron, (a senior at Harvard) was our guide for the afternoon and we were so impressed at how friendly, entertaining and patient he was. He gave us such a wonderful insight on the culture and little traditions of the students and the life students lead - info we may not have learned had we gone with another tour operator.

The tour was very interesting and great over all. The tour guide Brad was really good. If you are interested in some history and interesting facts, this is a perfect tour.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Jake, was friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all our questions.

This was a group of 40+ walking around campus. Jonathan, the guide, was knowledgeable and informative; however, we were not expecting such a large group. Also, we were 8 mins late to the meeting point (our fault) and had trouble catching up with the tour. There was no straw hat or identifying marker on the guide or stickers on the participants as we were advised. I think I would opt for a smaller tour to be able to hear and not be herded.

I felt like we got a taste of Harvard and saw it with our own eyes. I recommend the tour. Adam was great!

Our Harvard tour was one of the best tours we did in Boston ! Cameron ( our guide ) was knowledgeable , fun and gave us so much information about the history and student life of Harvard. It was a great tour !

Dimitri was a nice guy but had low energy. We had to ask questions about curriculum. Spoke more about The Who’s who of the various dorms. Someone asked about a bell at the church and he knew nothing, yet there was a plaque near the bell, didn’t bother to run up and read it! Walked feeling I didn’t learn much about Harvard.

The guide Jonathan who is a Harvard student himself was great to listen to and had a good sense of humor. The trip did not take too long if your on a tight schedule it’s a quick way to see Harvard.

The tour was good to very good. The tour guid/student was very knowledgeable and kept our interest throughout the whole tour. I would love to see more.

This is a must do. What an iconic place with so much history. Really enjoyable with our student guide Soliday, who was so energetic and enthusiastic that we all wanted to be students and stay for classes. She was an absolute font of knowledge. Gorgeous campus. Well worth a visit.

The best tour guide!! Funny & friendly. I enjoyed it so much. Definitely recommended to any age. Visited solo

Loved Genevieve! Very informational tour. She walked at a good pace and answered all questions. She was fun and bubbly.

Great tour of the main highlights of Harvard with a student. He was super helpful answering all our questions

Fourth year student Adam led our tour. He was so informative about the history of the buildings and quirky little oddities. He also interjected some humorous personal experiences. And he managed to stay upbeat even through the wind and rain of the nor’easter!

A great way to see Harvard. Amelia really knows her stuff and ran a great tour!

Our tour of Harvard was excellent. A real historical view of the University coupled with an interesting reflection of the students and its/their accomplishments. First rate!

Jake was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting.

This was such a fun tour! As advertised, these tours are led by students and each adds their own unique flavor. Ours shared school customs, common mythologies, as well as debunking some urban legends. He was so gracious about guiding people to other places they wanted to go, including recommendations of where to eat. We walked away with much more knowledge than when we began.

Jonathan was a wonderful tour guide. Personable and smart. He did a fabulous job leading us through an amazing campus. Highly recommend!

Easy to meet group at T station entrance. I grabbed a coffee first at student center on next block. Tour guide did fantastic job of navigating our group through campus, explaining the history, and adding humor. It was a fantastic overview of Harvard. I detour to art gallery after the tour.

Instructions and description for the tour were very clear. Our tour guide (Jonathan, student) was excellent - very informative, spoke loudly and clearly, was entertaining, and invited questions. The hour was enough for an overview of the history and campus life. Well done!

Very fun and interesting tour of Harvard. Highly recommend! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting.
