Harvard student tour - Rather than wander the campus with a map, we got so much more from our visit taking a tour. Along with the historic information, we gained insight into the daily life of one of Harvard's students.

Do it! - Our guide was great! He was a sophomore and a great story teller. No way we would have learned as much if we did a self guided tour.

GROUP WAY TOO LARGE TO HEAR THE GUIDE - Group was too large. So many, in fact, we were tripping over each other to try and hear the guide who would walk and talk down the busy roads and one half of group could not hear a word being said. Very disappointed! Group size should "sell out" at perhaps 10 people.
