Audio Tours

This Official Harvard self-guided tour begins at the Holyoke Center in historic Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The audio tour is read by current Harvard students and is composed of tracks describing landmarks throughout the Harvard Yard, providing a history of the university, general information, and a unique view on the student’s individual experience! The tour is completely free of charge.

We welcome your ideas and feedback as we continue to improve and develop this tour. For those who have an opportunity to visit Harvard, tours regularly leave the visitor center allowing visitors to see these amazing landmarks in person.
