Great Tour - Great tour with a super guide. I just wish the Adams home had been open. It's under renovation, but I was disappointed that it was closed.

Great trip - Wonderful trip. Two separate entry fees included, no lines. Water bottle and snack provided, multiple potty stops, some quick stops, also lengthy stops at main sites. Loved it.

Totally worth it! - Our guide was wonderful! He not only drove us around for most of the day but was able to tell us interesting stories while doing so. He gave us plenty of time at each location which was super helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Plymouth’s Burial Hill and Settlement - Great time! We had plenty of stops and there was so much to do and see in Plymouth and Quincy. I walked up to Burial Hill myself and it was a very peaceful and green cemetery. Chris was great, and even the workers at the Plimouth 17th century settlement were incredibly friendly and passionate about their work!(:

Reccomend for the history but also places we visited - A very interesting and enjoyable trip. It covered a lot more then expected. Gave a good understanding of American history. The guide/driver was very knowledgeable.

Great tour. - Really enjoyed this. Liked the small size tour. Mini bus ... So nice to have others but not so big a group that the stops took forever. Very comfortable bus. Well planned stops. Great knowledge from your guide. Really nice view along the coast. Nice to get feel of New England. Plymouth is a cute town with good tourist shopping and various lunch options.

Great excursion from Boston - This trip allowed us to view and experience the cape cod region of Boston. Our driver was very knowledgeable of the area and easy to understand. There were plenty of stops on the way for restroom use and food purchase.

A suggestion - I enjoyed all the historical facts shared by Chris but I wish we could have had 30 more minutes at the Plimoth Patuxet museum. I signed up for this trip mainly for going to this museum so I was a bit disappointed.
