We are a family of four with two teen boys - 12 snd 15. Even though it was a chilly, rainy morning our guide, Franny did an amazing job of capturing our attention with her wittiness, insight, and details about the campus and itā€™s history. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide Chris was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable about Harvard while mixing in some interesting anecdotes and self-deprecating humor that made the tour come alive.
