The Hahvahd Tour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hahvahd Tour is a tour of Harvard University that was started in June 2006 by Daniel Andrew and Jordan Jones. Its goal is to “serve up an off-beat tour of Harvard Yard and the surrounding areas to the visitors that abound in Harvard Square.”[1] The tour stood out from previously existing campus tours by its energy and its use of a dual-guide system, which allowed for a near-constant flow of information and entertainment. Although coming from humble beginnings, the tour has grown substantially in popularity, receiving news coverage from the Boston Globe (7/13/2006), Boston Herald (8/20/06), Harvard Crimson (9/27/06), Weekend America (9/6/06), and numerous other news organizations. Today, the tour is a popular tourist attraction for the greater Boston area and is still an entirely student-run and student-owned business that employs over 20 Harvard students.
