What To Expect

This live-guided tour of the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum ushers visitors through authentically restored tea ships and traditional Boston museum exhibits. This floating museum provides the opportunity to explore and learn about the people, events, and consequences that led up to the American Revolution—all in the order in which they occurred back in 1773. Get a sense of what life was like in 18th-century Boston.

At the Meeting House, hear the story of the night of December 16, 1773, and get ready to dump tea alongside the patriots. Explore two authentically restored tea ships—the Eleanor and the Beaver.

Inside the museum, see the Robinson Half Chest, one of only two original tea chests that was dumped into the Boston Harbor that night.

Immersive and creative a passionate account that makes you feel like a time traveller

Ravin_W, Apr 2024

The BTP crew brought history to life for my kids, they were not only riveted and engaged but the creativity using todays technology to bring stories to life in front of their eyes while still respecting the authenticity of the times brought old and new together on every level. Well done!

Kim_K, Apr 2024

This tour was well worth the money and it was a great way to learn more about the early days of Boston and the American Revolution. Had a couple of surprises that I won’t give away, and it was all impressive and fun. Great actors as well.

Boston Tea Party

Jennifer_C, Apr 2024

Educational and fun interactive experience! Highly recommend if you are looking for something to do to fill time as it’s only about an hour long. Make sure to enjoy the tea room afterwards!

History brought to life

Alan_O, Apr 2024

The Boston Tea Party experience was a fun tour with facts presented in a fun way by presenters acting in character. The chance to throw a tea chest overboard and see an original tea chest that survives to this day. We finished the tour and went to Abigail's Tea Room (own cost) to try a selection of teas with a sandwich which was a tasty break

Enlightening and Engaging for all ages

Christina_G, Apr 2024

It was much more interactive than I expected. The simulated meeting led by Samuel Adams and the experience of dumping “tea” into the harbor was fun for sure.

Fun time!

Sam_K, Apr 2024

Fun time. Learned a lot. Good performance by the cast. Wasn't sure how the show would be before attending but in the end the show turned out to be great.

Highly recommend!

Jenny_L, Apr 2024

Pippa_M, Apr 2024

This tour was great , so much animation to bring the story to life. Very informative told in a fun way. This would be my number 1 recommendation for a tour within Boston.

HAZAH!

Rebecca_C, Apr 2024

The staff was amazing they made you feel like you really were apart of the Boston tea party! Having the interactive learning by throwing the tea into the harbor and the holographic characters really added to the experience! We really felt like we had committed treason! It was amazing. We stayed interested the entire time. The length of the tour is just enough! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Really Enjoyed

Rebecca_S, Mar 2024

This was a fun outing for our adult-aged family. We enjoyed the history and innovative tour experience. THe staff was great. I would have loved a tea sampler box in the gift shop to pick and choose several different kinds of tea rather than have to buy a complete tim of one kind.

Excellent

Sarah_S, Mar 2024

Brilliant! So interesting and entertaining! Loved the real-life actors and the interactive nature of the experience! Lovely to have some hot tea at the conclusion.Well worth it!
