We could not fathom out where the stops were, we booked online and there was no clear map, the one on your website just gets fuzzy if you enlarge it. We were also on the bus which broke down and that was not handled well. A replacement bus arrived quite quickly but it all went wrong when we got to stop 1 with people made to get off and board the bus in front which was full. It was completely chaotic. Both Wiggles and Music were great as was the girl on the orange route whose name I didn't get.

I wish I had known more about the tickets before I purchased them. It wasn't until after I completed the transaction that I learned I couldn't get a refund. My daughter and I had one day in Boston to take a tour. Due to time constraints we couldn't make it to the ticket booth by 9:00 am and missed the window to get the tickets. I know the website states I can use the tickets before next March but why can't I just get a refund? I definitely won't be able to travel back to Boston by next March. I had a small window to visit as my father is fighting cancer. His future is uncertain and I just wish the website had provided clearer instructions and information. Now I am out $125. I would appreciate a refund in good faith.

Overall a comprehensive well done exhibit. However we were very rushed especially when it was my kids turn to throw tea. Couldnt even get pictures because it was so rushed and congested. Also main tour guide was not welcoming to younger kids. Didnt effect my family. But another family with a toddler was given a hard time for a toddler being a toddler

The enthusiasm of the staff and their desire to make the experiance memorable. It wasn't a history lesson and story of what happened. It was their ability to make you feel like you were apart of it. Like you were there. The smiles on my families face throughout the tour was worth every penny.

Overall a comprehensive well done exhibit. However we were very rushed especially when it was my kids turn to throw tea. Couldnt even get pictures because it was so rushed and congested. Also main tour guide was not welcoming to younger kids. Didnt effect my family. But another family with a toddler was given a hard time for a toddler being a toddler

The enthusiasm of the staff and their desire to make the experiance memorable. It wasn't a history lesson and story of what happened. It was their ability to make you feel like you were apart of it. Like you were there. The smiles on my families face throughout the tour was worth every penny.

The cast portraying the Revolutionary War participants were authentic and really transformed into the characters. My nine year old niece loved that it was interactive allowing her to throw the tea overboard.
