hazzar! Fantastic fun, informative tour.
A fabulous way to learn about the Boston Tea Party. I admire the young people doing the acting - they are simply brilliant and make it a terrific way to take in the facts. It is our second time doing the tour and would thoroughly recommend anyone do this. Fun and informative. Well done!

Become a part of the Boston Tea Party!
It was a very fun experience. My 10 year old son was so enthusiastic and felt like he was really part of the son's of liberty meeting and eventual tea dumping! The actors were amazing! Definitely recommend!

Don't book tours after 3:00
The tour was good. But we booked 2:30 tour, by the time we finished the tea room was closed. We wished it was explained earlier. And we could arrive early. Also, no parking. Had to to pay $25 for parking
