Description:

Brush up on your Boston accent and explore the grounds of one of the most prestigious universities in the country on this student-led tour. Stroll through Harvard Yard, see Memorial Hall, and visit the Harvard Natural History Museum’s impressive collection of archaeological treasures.

Meet your crimson-clad student guide at the edge of campus and make your way through a brick archway that leads into the heart of Harvard Yard. The grand old branches of elm and oak trees greet you to a park-like setting flanked by the most notable landmarks of this revered institution.

Gaze at the gothic spires of Memorial Hall—built to honor the soldiers of the Civil War—where undergraduates now gather to eat and enjoy theater performances. Alongside underclassmen scurrying to lectures in Sever Hall, pass by the bronze stare of the John Harvard Statue and hear about the construction of the Widener Library or how comedy legend—the Harvard Lampoon—got its start.

Find out where the homework-weary recharge outside Harvard’s walls with stops at the strikingly modern Plaza, Mt. Auburn Street, and beloved Winthrop Park. Finish your day at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, where the skeletons of Cenozoic mammals hold poses next to taxidermy African beasts and a host of other exciting exhibits, both permanent and rotating.
