Neat idea if Harvard was open

3.00Harvard was closed to the public when we went so we couldn't walk to some of the locations and had to guess the answers to the questions. They were relatively easy to answer, but a bit frustrating
Very interesting. Even captured the attention of my teenaged son!

4.00A great hour or so excursion through the beautiful Harvard campus. A good story to follow. Instructions were vague at times.
Fun and historical
