Traveler reviews
Middle schooler love this tour!
It was a bit difficult for us to get the part of the history at first since we don’t remember it lol. My middle schooler who learned it enjoyed the tour a lot. I do recommend you read this party before you go to the tour. The tour consisted multiple parts, so my little one was also able enjoy it and not feeling bored. The staffs did a great job. All in all, we really enjoyed the tour and highly recommended.
Great experience
Great Experience and worth the time and money
Fun day
This was a fun adventure! We enjoyed it very much. Even our 16 year old enjoyed the history lesson
Fun tour!
It was fun. Cool to see the replica of the ship and toss over the “tea”. Just a fake thing to throw over and pull back up. Fun to see the people in costumes acting out the parts. They’re talented in what they do. Interesting to learn the story of the Boston tea party.
Great for families
This was a fun way to learn about the Tea Party. It had action and videos. The only complaint might be that the female character had a very thick Boston accent and I couldn’t understand her very well. The actors were enthusiastic. The video had some war violence that may upset very little kids but they did warn us. We really enjoyed trying the teas and having a scone in the tea room. It’s cheesy in a good way
