It is so fun and informative!! the personal are so great!! We had so much fun-throwing the tea over the side of the ship and getting to be a part of the dialog. It was truly a wonderful experience.

It isn’t a long walking tour. The museum with the talking paintings and reenactments was very interesting.

Absolutely loved it. 10/10 for the young actors who were so engaging, well done to them. One of the best immersive experiences we've done, highly recommend - not to be missed

Great actors! Engaging with the crowd off-script from time to time was a great addition and made the event more interactive. It is a great way to learn history and be entertained! This is a must-do!

Fantastic experience! Entertaining and informative guides dressed in period costumes. Well organized process and group size was manageable.

It is interactive. You are asked to participate. But no worries if you are shy, you won’t be singled out. Loved the period costumes and history presented by the actors/tour guides

What a fun guided tour! Very animated tour guides and we had a rowdy crowd. It was on time both starting and ending to the minute.
