Unbelievable history of the university mixed in with dad jokes. It was a good time. Plus bonus, it snowed! It was magical.

Yesterday, my family and I, visiting from Florida 🌴☀️, braved the cold ❄️ for a guided tour of Harvard University, and it was nothing short of AMAZING! 💡📚 A huge shoutout to our guide, Frida, an international student from Mexico 🇲🇽 in her second year. She absolutely nailed it! 👏 🔹 Clear and articulate speaker 🎤 🔹 Perfect pace—never rushed, never too slow 🕰️ 🔹 Her knowledge of Harvard’s history, culture, and notable alumni (from US Presidents 🇺🇸 to tech billionaires 💻💰) was spot on! 🔹 She made every moment engaging and worthwhile 🎯✨ My two boys (ages 11 and 12 👦👦) were captivated the entire time—Frida made the experience fun and educational for all of us. 🙌 Frida’s passion for Harvard truly shone through, and she made the tour so memorable! 💯 If you’re planning a visit to Harvard, I highly recommend taking a tour—and if you’re lucky, Frida might be your guide! 🌟 Let’s support incredible students like her as they balance academics and work. 👍✨ #HarvardTour #TourGuideExcellence #FridaRocks

This tour was a lot of fun and a great way to explore the campus. I enjoyed walking around and learning brief yet fascinating pieces of Harvard’s history that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. While the large group sometimes made it hard to hear, the experience was still engaging. I especially appreciated that our guide was a current Harvard student, as she provided valuable insights and a unique perspective. Although I was a bit disappointed that we couldn’t enter any buildings, I understand they were in use, and the overall experience was still well worth it.
