Harvard 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

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