It was great learning more history of that day in Boston Harbor and we got to commit treason and toss some tea in the bay. Lol

I was surprised by the immverse acting of the actors playing the historical figures. It was quite special as I was a big History nerd as a kid.

Bob was an excellent tour guide. I only went because my husband wanted to go, but now I can't wait to watch the next Red Sox game next season. His love for the sport and team is contagious!
