See Boston's history come back to life in a 5-part immersive tour along The Freedom Trail. Using augmented reality (AR) technology, we tell a chronological series of events from 1765 to 1775 as if they are taking place again at each historical site. Key historical figures and artifacts appear in the real world in front of you as if they've traveled from the past to you. This is a first-of-its-kind, unforgettable new way to relive history! The experiences are interactive, and use tablets and AR headsets provided by us. For three important historical events, you will wear an AR headset for greater immersiveness and interactivity with hand-tracking technology. Imagine operating a revolutionary war era field cannon with your own hands! With the Relive 1776 AR Tour, you can.
Relive 1776: See Boston's History in Augmented Reality (AR) lasts about 2 hours.

It was really cool! I got to experience being back in 1776, being a part of the Boston Massacre (fortunately I survived), helping fight the British, shooting holes in a British ship with a cannon and seeing what a market was like in the day. Didn't take the Freedom Trail option as I've walked the trail before but was nice to enjoy all these experiences in the same area. Would do it again!!
Very fun and interactive way to explore the city and its history. Our tour guide was really kind and easygoing, so the walk through the city was very enjoyable. The AR concept is something totally different and we loved it! Boston is probably the only city I actually remember a ton of historic facts about, solely because of this experience. We hope to see similar offers in other cities as well :)
Cute, Quick, fun experience!! My daughter enjoyed it. The attendant was very helpful, knowledgeable, & sweet. Also very affordable.
Very cool experience near Quincy Market. Olivia was very nice and made the experience enjoyable highly recommend a visit.
Oh my gosh, you have to do this tour. What a way to bring history to life, literally right before your eyes. The tour hits all of the main highlights, and during many stops you get to live the historical event at the site. During one location I had a cart and horse ride right through my body - it was weird and wonderful and quick and nowhere else could you have that experience. The ending is not to be missed, and believe me, you go out with a bang.
The representative setting us up with our experience, was engaging and made the experience extra enjoyable! It’s was very immersive and educational!
I had so much fun doing this activity the you g lady was very helpful. There’s so many options to chose from I would try this again for sure.
Very cool idea, I like being able to pick things up, nice way to go back in time! Also, Olivia, the attendant was very, very helpful and sweet and kind!
Caleb was super nice and helpful. He did great explaining everything thoroughly! Definitely recommend, prices were amazing✨
FANTASTIC! Combines the history, with the sights, and then hands on fun with AR. You really do get to feel like you are in 1776 and experience life during that time period. Our guide (Tommy) was awesome! Great for kids probably 8+ and we enjoyed it tremendously as adults. Such a great new way to experience the history of Boston!!!
