The whole experience was amazing. From the interactive town meeting to exploring a replica of Ellenor the amount of history packed into a fantastic hour. I loved the museum and seeing an actual remaining crate from 1773. The added film that showed what happened after the Boston Tea Party and the beginning of the Revolutionary War was a great touch. Whether you are into history or not this experience has something for everyone young or old.

This is a great way to explore Boston and get a historical narrative. However, I think the trolleys get too many people and then when you're trying to actually hop-on and hop-off, it turns into a waiting game, which in turn you don't want to get off the trolley anymore because you're not sure when you might get back on. Otherwise, it is a great way to get to some of the farther places that may take too long to walk to.

In my opinion what made this so great was the people playing certain historical figures. The clothing and the accent made this a fun and also learning experience. I would recommend this as a to do for anyone traveling to Boston. It is good fun for everyone of all ages. The Hot tea from the Cafe was also very good and a very well done way to end the experience.

Just everything . Learning the history. I never realized there was more than one ship. Visualizing the ship and its contents. Ship smaller than you picture as a kid. The location of where it really would have been located across the harbor. The ability to pretend with the tea boxes. It was all great !

Loved every minute of hopping on and off ALL DAY. Not sure why anyone is complaining about any wait times as ws might have waited once or twice for ten minutes. I give it five stars for driver drivers and excellent narrated info while on board. What a fun day and would highly recommend.

Very interactive and engaging - and we learned a lot. Ships were to scale with originals for excellent perspective and context. Staff was in full costume and did an amazing job. Absolutely recommend for kids and adults alike!! My husband and my 9 YO both give 👍👍
