A fun and informative tour

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.

Excellent Harvard 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!
