The actors made this entire experience so amazing for me and my partner! They were very committed to their roles, witty, and all around pleasant. The tour also included very cool screen technology. Recommending it to all my friends and family, thank you!

The experience was so much fun! It also offered historical information in an interactive multi sensory approach. The actors were engaged and encouraged the audience's participation. They were believable! Thx for a very fun time for our family.

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.

It was just a really neat experience. The rain added to it. This was a medium-sized group of people, but still Small enough to gather round, hear everything, and participate. The ship was fun to walk around. There was something fun about throwing the tea overboard. The beginning meeting at the "State House" was great. Everyone enjoyed. (Oh.... and the tea room was delightful and yummy)

It was amazing! We were about to hop off and hop back on where we stopped to be able to get the full experience. We did the green route and learned so much history about Boston. The tour guides we had were very informative and hilarious. Definitely took the stress for us that haven't been to the New England area and looking to get to different places. Worth it 💯
