Don't miss this tour - history brought to life right in front of you - Oh my gosh, you have to do this tour. What a way to bring history to life, literally right before your eyes. The tour hits all of the main highlights, and during many stops you get to live the historical event at the site. During one location I had a cart and horse ride right through my body - it was weird and wonderful and quick and nowhere else could you have that experience. The ending is not to be missed, and believe me, you go out with a bang.

Fantastic Adventure! Don't miss it! - FANTASTIC! Combines the history, with the sights, and then hands on fun with AR. You really do get to feel like you are in 1776 and experience life during that time period. Our guide (Tommy) was awesome! Great for kids probably 8+ and we enjoyed it tremendously as adults. Such a great new way to experience the history of Boston!!!

Kapow - Wow....it was very cool. Definitely worth doing. Tomme was super friendly and made it so easy to use. You do it at the booth and would love to try the tour that goes to different locations.

Amazing experience! - This was so fun! My two kids (4 and 8 years) had a blast firing the canon and walking around the streets being able to see what it was like way back when. Would definitively do this again!
