Good tour to hear about Harvard's history, traditions and peculiarities while walking around the campus. Our guide Alfana explained facts very nicely and it was a lovely thing to do outdoors on a sunny day.

Isaac Newman was a great guide. Very informative and personable. I real delight that made the tour fun and interesting. There were so many misconceptions I had of Harvard. Your philosophy toward a total well rounded student to adult in how their curriculum is formatted is impressive. Also, your sliding scale for college tuition is very positive. So many don't have the funds for such a good college/university.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Trademark tour is all about the rich history of Harvard university through the eyes of the students themselves. We are extremely glad you had a "transformative experience", as Dean Khurana likes to say, and we will be sure to share your feedback with Isaac and the rest of the team! Best, Trademark Tours Team
