1.00Very boring and useless tour. We stood in practically one area for the hour. Didn’t learn much. We could have not wasted the money and done this ourselves.
Fantastic tour!

5.00Our tour guide was Michele. She was fun, full of energy and kept the rather large group engaged throughout. Harvard is probably the most iconic University in the world so I loved hearing about the history and former alumni. Would defo recommend! I picked the tour while visiting Boston for the World Cup and throughly enjoyed it!
