The guides were so into being in their characters that we were able to organically immerse ourselves into the time of the Boston Tea Party. It was a great experience for all of us! We definitely recommend experiencing one of the important events in the American History.

Really cool. Actors were splendid and a bit cheeky w loads of detailed information. A wonderful walk about in patriot footsteps. Loved the museum of treasures and holographic storytelling. Make time for tea before the tour.
