My guide Ivana was lovely! She gave a great interactive experience that explained the history of the campus, and was open to questions and conversation. It was great to see how a student at Harvard could be so personable and friendly, given her high achievement!

Dylan was extremely friendly, cheerful and overall one of the best tour guides i’ve met. I learned a lot and really enjoyed his stories about the Harvard campus. Many of his insider stories about Harvard myths, curses, histories and traditions were very interesting. Loved everything about it and would totally recommend.
