The staff that acted out the historic events were amazing. I loved watching our grandsons on the ship throwing the tea overboard. The holograms depicting actual individuals was amazing.

Endless thanks to this amazing crew - we had the best time!! This was unlike any other museum we have been to. Everyone was in character and in costume the whole time. The experience was interactive including being a part of a patriotic meeting hosted by Sam Adams, throwing tea overboard, touring a replica boat, and hologram videos inside. We haven't stopped raving about it ever since!

The tour was amazing. It was entertaining and educational all at the same time. The weather was a little bit wet but the experience made up for the dampness. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for families with children.

We were on 4 different vehicles and every one of the guides was excellent. We were able to go back the next day, on foot, to do more in depth visiting. We never waited more than 10 minutes for the next trolly.
