My son (13 years old) found this and wanted to go while we were in Boston. I thought it was going to be cheesy, but was happily proved wrong. The re-enactors are well-educated not just about the history of the event but lots of the history of the American revolution. They also gave a more in depth look by portraying less famous people. We also had tea and scones in the tea room and enjoyed trying the various varieties. I would highly recommend this to everyone. The only down side was there were a few videos to watch with limited seating. I would have liked to sit for a bit as we had a long day!

This tour lasted about 45 minutes. It was fun, but not anything super special. All in all, I think it was a little pricey for what we got.

My sister and I had a blast here. The actors were amazing! The history was brought to life in a fun and interactive way. We threw the tea into the harbor :) The tea room was quaint with old games to play set out on each table. For a reasonable price you can sample five varieties of tea. We paid for the sample of teas, cups are full size, and ended up buying 3 tins of teas to take home. The scones were perfect and delicious! So much fun. Recommended for all ages!
