The day trip to Boston in the form of a bus tour takes you to the main highlights of the beautiful city of Boston. An exciting visit to the world-famous Harvard University campus in Cambridge and a subsequent walk through Harvard Yard with the imposing Widener Library are a great way to start the day. Of course we also rubbed John Harvard’s shoe, because that’s supposed to bring good luck. In addition to Harvard, you also get an insight into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Cambridge College.
