What you'll do:

Take a sweet break from the books on this walking tour of historic Harvard Square. Begin in the lobby of the Charles Hotel with a rotating donut flavor made from fresh New England ingredients and a warm cup of coffee, as your guide shares the story of a neighborhood that has been a center of learning and culture for more than 300 years. Next, visit a bakery famous for oversized donuts and inventive flavors, then a shop known for its artful, handcrafted take on the classic.

Between stops, admire historic brick buildings and the storied paths walked by generations of students and scholars. The tour concludes with loukoumades at a local Greek favorite: crispy, golden, honey-soaked bites that make the perfect sweet finale. Come hungry and see Cambridge like a local.
