I was there by myself and when I saw the girls in the historical costumes and thought that was really creative. I bought a ticket and got to met knew people and most importantly very interesting facts that I didn’t know about Harvard and Cambridge, and the famous people that passed through here. Awesome tour. Highly recommend it!

A big thanks to Thomas Wentworth Higginson (a.k.a. John) for braving the bitter cold and strong winds to give a tour to our Meetup group today. I, for one, really learned a lot, and I enjoyed the tour, despite the bad weather.

…I had a lot of fun and did not even notice 2 hours fly by. I have been on several ghost tours, yet this one was definitely the most captivating. The guides are all dressed in character and very energetic / animated…Our tour guide was Kaitlin, or rather Mrs. Elizabeth Parkman. She was a vivid storyteller making each of her stories grasping. I also enjoyed how much real history I leaned on this tour… But I do not want to give to much away, so go take the tour yourself!

My wife and I ordered a haunted tour of Harvard via Living Social. Left at 7:30 for 1hr and 30 minute tour and really enjoyed ourselves. Got to see Harvard up close and personal on a beautiful night. Guide’s were energetic, entertaining and personable. The haunted part of Harvard exposed us to some fun stories that you might otherwise not ever hear about Harvard. Great October entertainment. Highly recommend.

Kathy was great (Mary Bean). She is animated, intense, fun and very entertaining. She has a gift for telling a fine story and it shows. This is a great way to spend 90 mintues on and off the Harvard Campus in the dark of night. The tales are all founded in historical fact (mostly) and there’s enough detail to give each story a spine tingling spin. Harvard is beautiful and even a bit eerie at night, and seeing this different side of the campus is a treat not to be missed. this is not a hokey fun house tour, there’s nobody jumping out at you, but for 12+ kids of all ages, we all had a blast. Park at Alewife and take the T in, eat at a famous burger place like Charlies or Mr. Barklays and meet at the Harvard coop accross from the harvard square t stop and tourist kiosk. You wont be sorry and its a great value too!

My husband, parents, and I went on the Pub Crawl offered by this company. It was a great time!! We would definately do it again and recommend it to all! It was a fun way to see Harvard Square and have a blast. We went to 5 different bars where we got a drink and appetizer! At each location we got some history of the area and bar itself. Then while at each location we got more knowledge, fun toasts, and great company. Our tour guide played a character called Richard. He was very entertaining and knowledgable. We also had a girl who played Martha Fuller who was shadowing our guide. She was also amazing and very talented. They were both so entertaing and fun! This is a must do for anyone going to Harvard Square! They also offer several other tours. If a Pub Crawl is not your thing, I think all their tours would be excellent!

Our guide Lauren and her persona Theresa Larson painted our private tour group an informative, thoughtful, and eerie canvas of Harvard Square past, several centuries ago. Twenty-one of us took the Haunted Harvard Ghost Tour on an almost-full-moon, 50-degree night, picture perfect for ghost stories and walking for 1 1/2 hours. Well worth the money. A great way to learn about and walk around Harvard Yard and its creepy past.

Our guide Betsy was just amazing- she conducted the tour with such energy and told stories with such animation that the 90 mins passed really quickly. Great engaging tour in which I learnt interesting tidbits about Cambridge/Harvard history (which I am sure can’t be found in history books)
