I had a tour with an alumni and my family. I'm a freshman, so I haven't had the real-del tour yet, but since my dad's an alumni we received a special tour from a fellow Harvard alumni. [View Full Report]

Beautiful campus, but we didn't go in anywhere on the tour; would've liked to do that. But my tour guide was fantastic. [View Full Report]

I took a "Hahvahd" tour, which was very entertaining, although I didn't get to see as much of the campus as I would have wished. The Hahvahd tours are a student run business. [View Full Report]

Tour was good...not sure it was "special." [View Full Report]

Bad. Partly because of all the road construction/Firetruck sirens/random city noise that drowned out the tour guide. Partly because we saw like three buildings, no dorms, no dining halls. [View Full Report]

The campus tour looked at a few of the main buildings in Harvard Yard. We went into two of them (Science Center and Memorial Hall). It wasn't very comprehensive. [View Full Report]

Tour guide was an interesting guy from El Salvador -a Women's/Gender/Sexuality Studies major. He asked people if they had questions, and if no one did, he asked questions he'd prepared his [View Full Report]

I enjoyed the campus tour. Harvard is a school rich with history and architecture. Visting during the fall highlighted the natural beauty of the area, but it was a little small and unorganized. [View Full Report]

The campus is beautiful and architecture of each building is amazing. The Widener Library is world renowned and if you get a chance to peak inside Annenberg (the dining hall) looks like hogwarts. [View Full Report]

This was absolutely dreadful. Terrible guide talking by lawnmowers and heavy traffic, only went in hallway of one building. Been to 4 campuses, this tour was worst and useless. [View Full Report]

The campus was amazing. I loved the feeling of being there. There's just so much tradition and the campus radiates that to all who visit. [View Full Report]

We toured on a beautiful April afternoon, and naturally with such a bright, sunny day, the tour took on a life of its own. The tour was more of a history tour of Harvard, not entirely useful. [View Full Report]

My tour guide was really bubbly and enthusiastic. After the tour, I found I gained realistic picture not only of the campus, but also of undergraduate life at Harvard. [View Full Report]

It was nice, albeit not very interactive and pretty mundane. Just like any other campus tour, but very informative about Harvard's heritage. [View Full Report]

The campus tour was so boring that I left 5 minutes into it...omg, I have never been so bored in my life!! There were like 200 people and he was just whispering at the front, so nobody could hear, and everybody was splitting off anyways. he was sort of a [View Full Report]

Nothing outstanding, dorm visited sucked, my D was astounded, campus seemed very chopped up and spread out around the town. Lot's of traffic, no parking, not compelling at all. [View Full Report]

Guide didn't have much personality. Some interesting anecdotes (i.e. "statue of three lies" - but don't rub the toe!). For a better tour, go to the information office in the Holyoake Center and get a Crimson Key tour. [View Full Report]

Very informative and funny guy. We went in a dorm, which was good sized IMO. Cool architecture. Large campus, but undergrad stuff fairly concentrated. Guy told about getting hopelessly lost in Widener, and how his freshman seminar class got to look fo [View Full Report]

Really disappointing - we weren't able to enter any of the buildings, including Widener Library. [View Full Report]
