Fantastic experience - This was an amazing day. Wow. Great value. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable and made the trip so fun. There were so many things to see and do. I think the stop at the mayflower was my favorite.

Following the path of my Ancestors - For $150. It was worth it, plus yhe tip. The only thing I was hoping was we would go to that Plymouth museum nearby, where the cradle that was found that supposedly the baby Peregrine slept. Recommend less time o n the Adams in Quincy, more time at the final museum for the reconstruction

Must do and see when visiting Boston - Our guide David was phenomenal. He had so much information. That he was able to speak the entire full day! Highly recommend this tour. David provided in depth info on John Hancock, John and Abigail Adams, and a bit on John Quincy Adams. We recieved lots of info on the pilgrims and their lifestyle. He also gave us a lot of info on the area we drove through.

Great Trip to Plymouth - David was an outstanding tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area! He engaged our grandsons (11 and 12) and another youngster in the history, challenging them to find facts about where we were visiting.

Good tour - The driver was excellent with excellent knowledge of the sites and history, as well as a comfort of his group. His delivery was so clear that even I with some hearing difficulties could understand him. If I could modify anything , it would be to have our itinerary changed to have the Plymouth part come earlier. I had heard how excellent the reenactors were. Everyone at both sites — plantation and Mayflower I were very pleasant and knowledgeable, but felt rushed and hot at the farm.
