Trademark Tours

Trademark Tours runs walking tours of Harvard University led by current Harvard students. The company describes itself as the gateway to Harvard and sets out to give visitors an interesting, educational and entertaining experience of the university. National Public Radio has called its tours “the real deal,” and the company bills them as one of the premier tourist attractions in the Greater Boston area.

Harvard, founded in 1636 in Cambridge, is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Having enrolled students as guides means visitors learn about the university from people who currently study there rather than from outside narrators. The company offers two formats: scheduled public tours that individual visitors can join, and private tours arranged separately for groups that want a tour of their own.

What to Know

• Public tours run daily from March 1 through November 1.
• Private group tours are available year-round on request.
