Traveler reviews
Great, light hearted, informative fun activity in Boston
We really enjoyed this fun experience. It’s a lively interactive tour. We started in the meeting hall where we were addressed by a guide dressed in colonial outfit. He was engaging and fun. Then we boarded the ship and could throw the tea boxes overboard. Good fun for kids and adults alike. Then we saw a short film about the events, which was excellent. It was a great way to spend about 1 and 1/2 hours if you’re interested in a light hearted, yet informative tour. You could buy a relatively well priced meal in Abigail’s tea room afterwards and you could have plenty of tea there too. There’s a gift shop attached, of course. We’d really recommend this for an activity for first timers in Boston.

Boston Tea Party Museum
This was a great museum tour! Loved being able to experience the Boston tea party via live reenactment and then walking through the museum to see artifacts and ending with a movie. Must do while in Boston!
