Our young student guide from Brazil was brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable. We enjoyed her and learned so much about the history of Harvard.

The tour was very entertaining and the guide gave a real picture of what it is like to study in Harvard. I would have loved to go in one of the buildings. Unfortunately, it was very busy because many tourists were around in our group and on the campus. But the guide was very funny and well prepared, he made us all laugh. To conclude, I would prefer a smaller group of visitors to make the tour more individual.
