Very interesting visit with a real student from Harvard. She was enthusiastic about explaining to us little details of students' life and more classic history of the campus and university. It was a real pleasure to follow her with the hole family during one hour and we learned a lot of things. We are French and it was quite easy to understand her

It was so nice getting to see Harvard and learning some of the history about the campus! Our tour guide was fantastic and the campus was beautiful. We were staying in downtown Boston and it was super simple to get the train to Harvard! Definitely recommend doing this if in the Boston area!
