Harvard Walking Tour

At your selected time, meet at the Harvard metro, located at 1376 Massachusetts Ave. Your tour guides, who are current students, will take you to the symbolic Johnson Gate, one of the campus entrances.

During the tour, entry into the buildings is not included, but you will be able to admire the beautiful façades and grounds.

The tour will stop in front of the statue of John Harvard, the university's first benefactor. To feel like a student at this Ivy League university, you can carry out the tradition of touching the statue's foot for good luck.

Next, you will visit the Memorial Hall, a Victorian building honoring the Harvard students who fought during the American Civil War. The tour will also pass by the Widener Library, the largest on campus, which contains over three million books.

Then, you will admire the Memorial Church and the Harvard Lampoon headquarters, a student magazine first published in 1876. Important writers, including John Updike and Conan O'Brien, contributed to this publication.

Finally, the tour will conclude at the emblematic Winthrop Park after one hour and ten minutes.
