Ben was everything needed/hoping for in a tour guide. Informative, friendly, thoughtful, and engaging. Everything we wanted in the tour.

My wife, kids and I did the Hahvahd Tour on 2nd June and Cam was our tour guide. Cam was ‘Camtastic’ and gave us a very insightful and enjoyable tour. We learnt so much about the history of the University as well as some very interesting things that have happened over the years which I will not spoil by sharing here. Some of the buildings we saw on campus were amazing and so beautiful. We did not feel rushed and had the opportunity to ask lots of questions.

I had a great tour with a smart guide who graduated from Harvard. She gave us interesting historical information and the tour time length was very suitable forme. Thank you all,

Paul_M

Complete waste of money. Do not trust Viator. Very unethical company that work with shady tour operators

Charles_C

Our guide Justin? was very good and to have a student's view point was great. The University should have permitted the group to at least walk across the campus between two open gates as a supervised group.

Andrea_S

It is a great tour and it is really good to hear the stories from the student’s point of view. Our tour guide, Nate, was super informative and gave us a glimpse of life at Harvard. It is a pity we could not visit Harvard Yard though. The Harvard art gallery is worth is visit.

Jason_R

Despite not being allowed into Harvard yard, the tour was amazing. Out tour guide was engaging, knowledgeable about the history of Harvard, spoke fluently about its academic culture and was appropriately humorous. If visiting Boston definitely book your tour with Aya. You wont be dissapointed.
