Walking tour of Harvard University and Oktoberfest

As I am an exchange student over from the United Kingdom, I have also been looking for activities to do at the weekend now that fall is here. So far my favourite has been the walking tour of Harvard University, if you’re looking for a day of wondering around a picturesque campus with a lot of history and historic buildings, then a trip to Harvard University will not disappoint you. The best time of year to go would be fall as you can really appreciate the beauty of the surrounding areas and nature.  





Harvard University is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States. Since the late 19th century it has been one of the most prestigious schools in the world and is best known for its Medical, Law and Business schools. 

The 60 minute tour is a theatrical journey through Harvard's historic campus from the perspective of a current student. Enjoy hilarious tales of Harvard history and culture! Beginning in the heart of Harvard Square, you'll be led by your tour guide into the beautiful Harvard Yard by a charismatic Harvard student. 






You can enjoy and take in the sights while your guide entertains and inspires with tales of Harvard history and their own personal experience at the University they now call home. You'll get an up-close insight at major Harvard landmarks including Johnston Gate, the John Harvard Statue, Memorial Hall, and Widener Library. 




If you go at the right time in fall, usually the first of second Sunday in October, you can also go to the Harvard Square Oktoberfest and gain a taste of Germany for yourself. Since 1979, the Harvard Square Oktoberfest celebrates the traditional bavarian festival with a selection of parades, dancing, live music, beer gardens, street performances and a selection of foods from across the world. Its is also free to attend the even meaning it is the perfect day out for everyone from families to students.
