5.00For $34 you can tell everyone you went to Harvard, or Harvadh as its otherwise known. A totally worthwhile tour of the Harvard campus, lots of very interesting history and facts. Our student guide, Thamini from Malaysia, was terrific, knowledgeable, fun and engaging. Strongly recommend this tour - and also strongly recommend taking an Uber if coming from anywhere in Boston.
Happy Birthday Adam
