5.00My sister and I signed up for this tour. We loved it! They have everyone a character role and we participated in the town meeting then threw the makeshift tea boxes overboard. We also learned a lot of history that surrounding the Tea Party. The characters stayed in character the entire time. The gift shop was reasonably priced as well. My sister bought all of her Boston souvenirs there.
