Excellent Tour! Andrés, our tour guide, was friendly and funny. He told us so many things about the history of Harvard, famous Harvardians and about recent student life. Entertaining and informative at the same time. It was a hot day and he tried to keep the group in the shade. Such a great tour with the best tour guide you could wish for!! Thanks a lot!!
