5.00Such a fun and informative tour of Harvard. We were shocked by some of the trivia: women couldn’t get Harvard diplomas until WHEN?! Our tour guide, Jonathan, was fantastic and a current Harvard sophomore. We highly recommend it for anyone curious about attending Harvard or just looking to learn more fun facts about its history.
the tour is worth the money!
