What To Expect

Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
As we walk along Boston's Harborwalk, we'll look out across the water for a glimpse of an actual blast from the past: a colonial ship packed with tea crates! We'll learn about the events of Boston's Tea Party but we'll also dive deeper: what really caused this riot? Why were taxes so high? What did a far-away international war have to do with the price of tea in Boston?

This self-guided tour is clear, concise, and interesting. I like the way it has each stop be a relatively quick overview, while at perhaps half of them, adding another 1-3 items for optional, more detailed, topics.

So glad that you enjoyed walking Boston’s Harborwalk with my tour! I love when people take advantage of the “Learn More” stories — there’s so much to every stop! I have other tours across the country, which I hope you check out on future vacations.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Kelly! I’m delighted that my tour of Boston Harborwalk added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.
