About Unofficial Tours

Unofficial Tours was created by Harvard alumni in 2006 with the purpose of capturing and sharing the Harvard legacy through the eyes of current students. Our award-winning tour has been lauded by the Boston Globe, National Public Radio, NBC, CNN, and Harvard professors. We are to official college-campus tours what the Daily Show is to National News Networks. Our 70 minute tour highlights Harvard hot-spots through a satisfying blend of in-depth knowledge, side-splitting jokes, historical accounts, and exclusive takes on student life at Harvard. It's no wonder that Unofficial Tours is known as the Ultimate Harvard Experience.
