It was what we expected. A bit cheesy, but fun and informative. Our guides were great and knowledgeable.

I wish I could give this more stars. The guides were funny, knowledgeable and gracious with my goofy kids. The tour was so unique how it was set up and really kept us all engaged. Well done! I also loved the tea room as an option before or after!

We loved this interactive tour of the Boston Tea Party Museum. We had visited Lexington and Concord on Monday which made this come to life.

This was a great immersive experience putting you back in time with key people involved in the Boston tea party. Thoroughly enjoyed it and all the actors did a great job. Got to throw our own tea over the edge of the boat too!

My mom, sister, and I absolutely loved this! The staff went above and beyond to help my mom, who uses a walker — they were incredibly kind and accommodating. My sister and I went below deck while she stayed above, and they made sure she was part of the fun. Throwing tea into the harbor was a blast, and the museum presentation was one of the best we saw in Boston. A wonderful experience from start to finish!

Fun, educational, & well done! I was there with my family and chose this activity specifically for my 11 yo daughter. I highly recommend this experience.

Couldn’t understand him/her. Accostas bad and talks too fast. No cover for rain. Was raining today and windy.

Very informative, knowledgeable guides. Worth the time and money. Like that it was interactive and involved the customers.

Very entertaining and immersive. The museum is a reminder of freedom and fight against tyranny and monarchy.
