Excellent portrayal of various events surrounding the American Revolution and the Boston Tea Party and other historical events happening in and around the 13 colonies at that era. Wonderfully portrayed by actors who were well-versed in history. I would recommend this be seen by all!

Very interactive tour, knowledgable guides. A fun experience while also learning something, very good. It lasts for about an hour, which is just right.

Content was educational, tour guides has great costumes and their acting made it an immersive experience. The museum section was also well done. I'm not a huge history nerd but would recommend this to anyone

This was such a cool tour. I want to commend the actors who really worked hard and brought energy and life to the tour. This seemed like such a great family activity. Next time I wanna come with my nephews and niece.
