Thinking about gifting the Boston Record Breakers Scavenger Hunt!

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Boston Record Breakers scavenger hunt to my friend who loves history. I've read it's a mix of a tour and a scavenger hunt, which sounds fun! Has anyone done it? How engaging are the clues? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Just finished the Boston Record Breakers scavenger hunt and loved it!

OMG, I just did the Boston Record Breakers scavenger hunt with my sister, and it was a blast! We spent about 2 hours because we stopped at the Boston Common for a picnic. The clues were really interesting! I had no idea about Alexander Graham Bell's history in Boston. Highly recommend it as a gift or even a fun day out!
