Traveler reviews
Must Do Tour
It was a fantastic day with our tour guide Chris! He shared many interesting facts when stopping at the coastal towns. We especially enjoyed Quincy exploring the homes of our former presidents. In Plymouth we had plenty of time to see the Mayflower, Plymouth Rock, lunch, and shop. It was fun and interesting at the Plimoth Patuxet Museums where people come alive in characters of Pilgrims. I highly recommend this tour!

Very nice tour! We traveled backroads from Boston through smaller communities and countryside to Plymouth. Learning interesting things about each community along the way. In Plymouth we toured the Mayflower II and saw Plymouth Rock. Had time in Plymouth for lunch and shopping. Last we had a lovely and informative tour of Pilgrim and Wampanoag settlements. Our tour guide was excellent!
